6 PLANTS BAKERIAN^E. 



short-peduncled loose and rather few-flowered racemes, 

 glabrous above the middle, but below it loosely ciliate with 

 simple hairs: sepals yellow; petals pale-yellow: filaments 

 abruptly and widely dilated at base ; young pods ovate, 

 acute, surmounted by a conspicuous style, few-ovuled. 



A most remarkably chaffy and grassy-looking Draba of 

 alpine habitat, found near Carson, 2 July, n. 296. Its near- 

 est affinity would seem to be D. chrysantha. 



DRABA OXYLOBA. Perennial, tufted, the several and 

 quite simple flowering stems or branches decumbent, leafy 

 to near the middle, thence racemose, 8 to 18 inches high; 

 foliage and stem not at all canescent, scarcely even pale, 

 nevertheless roughened everywhere by an sparse indument 

 of sessile and uniformly 4-parted hairs: basal leaves 1 to 

 2 inches long, oblanceolate, petiolate, remotely dentate or 

 else entire, the petioles, at least near the base, with a few 

 scattered marginal simple and setaceous hairs; cauline 

 leaves ovate to oblong-lanceolate, commonly near an inch 

 long, sessile, dentate: sepals and petals both golden-yellow, 

 the former with scattered short mostly simple (rarely forked) 

 hairs: pods not twisted, oblong-linear to elliptical, 4 or 5 

 lines long, acute at each end, pointed with a style of less 

 than one line ; pedicels slightly ascending, longer than the 

 pods. 



At Van Boxles' Ranch above Cimarron, in open parks, 

 n. 382 ; also at Sargents, in meadows, n. 351 ; distin- 

 guished from all its allies by a pubescence of cruciform 

 hairs. 



DRABA BAKERI. Rather slender yellow-flowered per- 

 ennial, the several erect stems 4 to 10 inches high: tufted 

 radical leaves about an inch long, oblanceolate, short-petio- 

 late, entire, acutish, cinereous, at least when young, with
