8 PLANTS BAKERIAN.E. 



ARABIS DEMISSA. Low and slender, the racemose steins 

 or peduncles only 5 to 8 inches high, but the caudex large 

 in comparison, stout and lignescent, not branched, or the 

 branches not obvious, bearing a' dense tuft of very narrowly 

 oblanceolate glaucescent leaves, which are glabrous except 

 for a few setose hairs on the margin at the base of the pe- 

 tiolar portion: peduncles several, with 2 or 3 subauriculate 

 sessile bracts below the raceme, this (seen in fruit only) 

 loose, the purplish and glaucous pods narrowly linear, 1 to 

 1 inches long, deflexed on very short pedicels: seeds in 

 one row, suborbicular, not winged, though with more than 

 the hint of a scarious margin on at least one side. 



A few specimens of this interesting and strongly charac- 

 terized new species were gathered from among the stones of 

 a dry river bed near Cimarron, 4 June. They bear the 

 number 16 of the collection, but are not in quantity for 

 distribution in the sets. 



ARABIS STENOLOBA. Suffrutescent as to the branching 

 caudex, the slender flowering stems less than a foot high, 

 tufted basal leaves and those of sterile branches of the 

 caudex oblanceolate, entire, less than an inch long, both 

 faces hoary with a minute stellate tomentum : floriferous 

 branches with scattered small leaves below the raceme, this 

 short and few-flowered; sepals purplish, stellate-pubescent, 

 as are also the pedicels and the stems, petals white, twice 

 the length of the sepals : pods very narrowly linear, 1 to 1| 

 inches long, obtuse, glabrous, suberect on almost filiform 

 pedicels of to J inch. 



On stony hillsides above Cimarrou, n. 21. Plant with 

 much the habits and foliage of A. eremophila, but the pubes- 

 cence different, the fruit more so. 



THELYPODIUM BAKERI. Biennial, with several widely
