SOME NEGLECTED VIOLETS. 291 
Mr. Baker from two localities near Cimarron, to be distrib- 
uted by him later, under numbers 68 and 144 of his plants 
of the Gunnison region of the year 1901. 
V. UNGUICULATA. Size of the last, but leafy stem well 
developed at earliest flowering, the peduncles short, not ex- 
ceeding the leaves; herbage much more pubescent, even 
quite hirtellous throughout; leaves much smaller, only the 
lowest rounded and subcordate, these little more than $ ineh 
long and broad, the others of more oval outline, very obtuse 
at both ends, or some tapering to the petiole: peduncles 13 
inches long, bibracteolate near the flower, the bracteoles 
linear, elongated and conspicuous: sepals lanceolate, acu- 
minate: corolla little more than 4 inch long, the petals sub- 
equal, but the keel broadest; spur well elongated, rather 
narrow, curved upwards, ending in a very narrow claw-like 
curved appendage. 
Known only in a single specimen collected by the writer 
nearly a quarter of a century ago, in the Greenhorn Moun- 
tains, Southern Colorado; very interesting on account of 
the slender claw-like hollow appendage terminating the 
proper spur. 
V. pEsERTORUM. Allied to the last two, rather more 
strongly hirtellous throughout, taller, the leafy stems well 
developed at early flowering, often 5 to 7 inches high and 
ascending or suberect: leaves somewhat deltoid-ovate, acut- 
ish, mostly 1 to 14 inches long, rather obscurely crehate- 
serrate and notably veiney, quite distinctly cucullate at the 
rounded base when young, and more or less obviously so 
even in maturity; stipules lanceolate, with a few lacerate 
teeth: peduncles filiform, none from amid the long-petioled 
basal leaves, all from the axils above, 2 inches long, almost 
or altogether glabrous, bibracteolate very near the flower,
