yellow, 6-7 mm. long; filaments linear, slightly larger at the base; 
fruiting inflorescence short; pedicels usually with a tendency to 
become sigmoid, 3-6 mm. long; pods erect or ascending, densely 
stellate-pubescent, rays of stellae not appressed, subsessile, or 
distinetly stipitate, subglobose, 3-4 mm. long; stipe black, less 
than 1 mm. long, styles slender, 4-5 mm. long; septum nerved, 
perforate, areolae not tortuous; ovules 4 in each cell, funiculi 
attached to the septum for one-half their lengths or less; seeds 
not margined. 
Distribution: Salt Lake County, Utah. 
Specimens examined: 
Utah: in clefts in rock on mountain side, Big Cottonwood 
Canyon, Salt Lake County, June 28, 1905, Garrett 1344 (Mo. 
Bot. Gard. Herb., TYPE, and Rky. Mt. Herb.). 
This plant is apparently most nearly related to L. alpina 
(Nutt.) Wats., but is at once separated from that species by the 
presence of a definite stipe. The pods are subglobose and in- 
flated in the new species, while in alpina they are conspicuously 
elongated and compressed at the apex. In general appearance 
also it is unlike alpina because of its much more slender, lax 
stems. The name is given in honor of the collector, Prof. A. O. 
Garrett, of Salt Lake City, Utah, who writes me that he has 
collected this plant at an altitude of 9700 feet in rich, wet, loamy 
soil in a granitic locality from which the snow had but recently 
melted.

Perennial, densely stellate-pubescent throughout, stellae con- 
spicuously granular, rays many, distinct, forked near the base; 
stems prostrate or decumbent, unbranched, 6-12 cm. long;

narrowly spatulate, 8-10 mm. long; filaments linear, slightly 
enlarged at the base; fruiting inflorescence elongated, occasionally 
somewhat leafy; pedicels straight or somewhat sigmoid, 5-9 
mm. long; pods erect or ascending, sessile, densely stellate-
