L. moníana, although quite a variable species as regards leaf 
outline, is usually at once distinguishable by the sigmoid pedicels 
and elongated pods. L. rosulata was described from an ab- 
normal plant of a form with broad basal leaves. In Colorado 
L. moniana crowds close upon the Continental Divide, but in 
the typical form seems never to have crossed it. Osterhout's 
No. 4993 is aberrant because of its shorter, slightly obcompressed 
pods. If further collections of it are made it would seem worthy 
of varietal rank. 
33a. Var. suffruticosa Payson.’ 
Caudex enlarged and woody, branching in the older speci- 
mens; radical leaves silvery stellate-pubescent, 2-6 cm. long, 
oblanceolate, blade gradually narrowed to the slender petiole, 
irregularly dentate or repand, usually acute; pods oblong, 6-8 
mm. long; styles 2-6 mm. long; ovules 7-10 in each cell. 
Distribution: southern Colorado to northeastern New Mexico. 
Specimens examined:
