PLANTS FROM SOUTHEASTERN UTAH. 293 



tinct species. Besides the difference in pubescence the 

 habit of growth is dissimilar. Specimens collected by E. 

 L. Greene in the type locality have stems that appear to 

 be climbing and diffusely branched. Another specimen 

 from the same island (probably a part of the type), col- 

 lected by Dr. Veatch and identified by Dr. Kellogg, shows 

 the same habit. 



My specimens have many rigid, simple stems, about 

 15 cm. high, springing from the base. They are in fruit. 

 Dr. Newberry's specimens were in flower. Collected near 

 the head of Willow Creek, July 13. Not abundant and 

 seen nowhere else. Growing in the sandy soil covering 

 the rocks of the Willow Creek Wash. 



35. Gutierrezia Californica Torr. & Gray, Fl. of N.Am., 



ii> 193- 



Type locality: " California," Douglas. 



This seems far out of range for this species, but it 

 agrees quite well with the original description and is re- 

 ported in Syn. FL, p. 115, from mesas of Arizona, col- 

 lected by Palmer, Lemmon and Pringle. The scales of 

 the pappus are acute, obtuse and often erose, not uni- 

 form on the same akene; those of the ray akenes less 

 than half as long as those of the disk. On mesas above 

 the San Juan River, beginning to bloom, July 13. 



36. Grindelia stylosa n. sp. 



Perennial, 6-9 dm. high, bushy, with many slender 

 stems branching diffusely from a woody base; epidermis 

 smooth, white, shreddy below, above becoming greener 

 and more glutinous; leaves rigid, entire, 3-nerved, linear- 

 lanceolate, acuminate and aristate, 3 cm. long, 3 mm. 

 wide, diminishing upwards to the bracts of the involucre, 

 vertical by a twist at the base which forms a cup -shaped 

 cavity to hold the bud; heads corymbose, 15 mm. long,
