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 

 1J 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-

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

 jariYnbie? 1fr,;'of .the collection, but are not in quantity for 

 distribution in the sets. 



ARABIS STENOLOBA. SufTrutescent 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 1J 

 inches long, obtuse, glabrous, suberect on almost filiform 

 pedicels of J to J inch. 



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

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

 cence different, the fruit more so.
