%2 RypBERG: Rocky MOUNTAIN FLORA 
Pseudopteryxia longiloba Rydb. sp. nov. 
Densely cespitose perennial with a thick root and short caudex, 
covered by numerous old leaf-sheaths and petioles; leaves twice 
pinnatifid, with linear-subulate, pungent divisions; peduncles 2-3 
dm. high, stout; bractlets linear-subulate, spreading, often I cm. 
long; flowers yellow; fruit about 6 mm. long; lateral wings thick, 
narrow, some of the wings of the dorsal ribs often fully as broad; 
calyx-teeth less prominent than in P. antsata. 
This is closely related to P. anisata, differing in the larger fruit 
(in P. anisata about 4 mm. long), and longer leaf-segments. On 
account of the long leaf-segments, specimens collected in flower 
by Carlton and myself were mistaken for Cynomarathrum Nuttall 
(A. Gray) C. & R.; but good fruit was received in the summer of 
IQII.

Pseudopteryxia aletifolia Rydb. 
Pseudocymopterus aletifolius Rydb. Bull. Torrey Club 31: 574- 
1904. 
Neither can Pseudocymopterus bipinnatus be retained in the 
genus; in fact, itis still more out of place. Not only is the habit 
strikingly different from that of P. montanus, but the fruit is not, 
as Coulter and Rose described it, ‘‘moderately flattened dorsally,” 
for the fruit when well developed is moderately flattened laterally, 
which places it in the other division of the family. Furthermore, 
the seed face is concave, the bractlets broad and scarious, and a 
stylopodium, although strongly flattened, is present. Were it 
not for these characters of the fruit the plant could be placed in 
the same genus as P. anisatus. As it is, its relationship is with 
Daucophyllum and Aletes. 1 would place it in Daucophyllum 
were it not for the winged ribs, the concave seed face and the 
reflexed style. The fruit is nearer that of Aletes, but the oil tubes 
are several, the ribs winged, styles reflexed and stylopodium 
present. Ifa person were using the key given by Coulter and Rose
