‘Authentic specimen, from type locality,” is mere bombast. 
Fendler collected no such plant as this; and Mr. Heller did 
not find the subalpine Fendlerian type on whieh Gray 
founded his D. aurea var. stylosa. 
DraBa Neo-Mexicana. Draba aurea, var. stylosa, Gray, 
but not D. stylosa of Heller. Perennial, the few slender 
sparsely leafy flowering stems 4 to 6 inches high: lowest 
leaves spreadjng and loosely rosulate, oblanceolate, entire, 
acutish, densely stellate-pubescent beneath, sparsely so above, 
destitute of simple hairs; cauline leaves similar as to pu- 
 bescence, but of rather broadly lanceolate outline: calyx 
stellate-pubescent: pods elliptical, scarcely twisted, glabrous, 
acute, tipped with a long style. 
A subalpine species, of the mountains back of Santa Fé, 
New Mexico; this description drawn from Fendler’s n. 48 
as found in the U.S. Herbarium. I know no other speci- 
mens agreeing with them ; though I doubt not that more or 
less of the so-called D. aurea of the Rocky Mountains may 
belong here. I have seen no North American specimens 
which could rationally be referred to D. aurea after being 
compared with the Greenland type of the species. 
DRABA PINETORUM. A tall and rank very leafy peren- 
nial, commonly almost 14 feet high: basal leaves from 
spatulate-obovate to oblanceolate, dentieulate, seldom an 
inch long, the cauline larger, often 1} inches long, lanceo- 
late or oblong-lanceolate, evenly denticulate or somewhat 
serrately toothed, all stellate-scabrous on both faces, the 
stem with some short simple hairs: racemes 1 to 3, elongated 
but subsessile; sepals nearly glabrous, the hairs much scat- 
tered and mostly simple: pods scarcely 3 lines long, on 
pedicels of about 6 lines, oblong or elliptic, contorted, tipped 
with a long style, the valves notably hispidulous with simple 
hairs.

Mountains, southern New Mexico, 16 Sept., 1880; collected
