NEW OR NOTEWORTHY SPECIES. 37 
motely but saliently dentate, the uppermost pair reduced, 
broadly ovate, abruptly acuminate: involucres narrow and 
rays few, all the flowers light-yellow: achenes silky-villous, 
not glandular; pappus fine and white, barbellate. 
This is Mr. J. C. Flodman’s n. 891 (of my set) from the 
Little Belt Mountains, Montana, 1896, distributed for A. ful- 
gens, to which it bears no particular resemblance. It is 
even nearer what we call A. latifolia Bongard, though the 
leaves are narrow. These are in about five pairs, and are 
not notably pubescent or glandular. 
YAGOSERIS MONTICOLA. Root stout, elongated and deep- 
seated, simple in young plants, in the older multicipitous 
and bearing several tufts of depressed leaves and short 
scapes: herbage very pale and glaucous, glabrous or more 
or less tomentulose: leaves from obovate and entire to nar- 
rowly lanceolate and toothed or pinnatifid : scapes stoutish, 
mostly 2 or 3 inches high, its upper part glandalar-hairy ; 
outer involucral bracts ovate or ovate-lanceolate, the inner 
narrowly lanceolate: achenes linear-fusiform, distinctly nar- 
rowed at summit and this portion vacant (not filled by the 
seed); pappus dull-white, very firm, scarcely scabrous. 
A common and well marked species inhabiting the sum- 
mits of the higher mountains of the middle and northern 
Californian Sierra, formerly referred to A. glauca. The 
description is drawn mainly from specimens collected on 
Mt. Shasta, in 1898, by Dr. C. Hart Merriam. I gathered it 
myself, near Donner Lake, as early as 1874, and Mr. Pringle 
once distributed excellent specimens from, I think, the 
vicinity of Mt. Shasta. 
! Lacruca campestris. Stout, low and very leafy, seldom 
23 feet high, with a broad but short panicle: leaves ample, 
piunatifid and tootbed, the teeth sharp and salient, all the 
foliage sessile by a broad and somewhat sagittate clasping 
base, the midvein beneath prickly, the whole plant other-
