314 PITTONIA. 
This exceedingly well marked perennial Draba is from 
the Alaska seaboard, and has been collected, in so far as I 
can discover, only by F. Funston, who obtained the speci- 
mens at Disenchantment Bay, 9 Aug. 1892. They were 
distributed for D. stenoloba, and the pods are even narrower 
than in that species; but the true D. stenoloba is a very 
different plant. 
THELYPODIUM RHOMBOIDEUM. Biennial, very stout, a 
yard high or more, deep-green and glabrous, the stem sol- 
itary, corymbose-panicled at summit: basal leaves 4 to 10 
inches long, short-petiolate, broad and of rhombic-lanceo- 
late outline, obtuse, entire, those of the flowering branches 
only 2 inches long, linear, acute: flowers in short dense 
racemes, these in fruit lengthening to 5 or 6 inches, the 
erect sepals and more than twice longer spatulate-linear 
petals dull flesh-color or white: pods short for the plant, only. 
an inch long, few-seeded and rather long-stipitate. 
Collected by the writer,in the West Humboldt Mountains, 
Nevada, July, 1894, and allowed to pass for T. integrifolium, 
until now, when itis seen to be very distinct by its large 
rhombic-lanceolate leaves, elongated inflorescence, short 
few-seeded pods, ete. ` 
THELYPODIUM AFFINE. Allied to the last, quite as large 
and stout, glabrous, glaucescent: radical leaves 5 to 10 
inches long, spatulate-lanceolate, obtuse, denticulate, the 
blade decurvent as a narrow wing to near the base of the 
rather elongated petiole: stout corymbose panicle of few 
branches and nearly naked: flowering racemes dense, 1 to 
1} inches long, ? inch broad; sepals ascending, the spatulate 
petals twice as long: mature pods not seen, but young fruit-
