Though the genus Oxytropis is not represented in the Sierra, one 

 species, 0. oreophila Gray (Proc. Am. Acad., vol. 20, p. 3. 1884), is 

 a component of the alpine floras of the mountains of Utah and re- 

 appears upon the summits of the San Bernardino Mountains in south- 

 ern California; it is not improbable that it will yet be found in the 

 alpine region of the southern Sierra Nevada.
