Lemmon found it growing spontaneously along the banks of 

 the Rio Grande on the island of Isleta (opposite El Paso). 

 It is a small, slender annual 3 to 10 in. high, with long fili- 

 form leaflets and similar involucre and involucels, awl-shaped 

 sepals, rose-colored petals, fruit with long hairs and bristles, 

 and oil-tubes solitary under the secondary ribs. The genus 



is near Trefiocarpus. 



Angelica arguta Nutt. was found in the M Coast Moun- 

 tains n of Oregon, July, 1888 (Howell ^g) n and on Mt. Rain-

near Seattle, Washington Territory, collected September, 

 1888 ( C. V. Piper 631). Mr. Piper writes that it grows "just 

 above high tide mark on the seashore." The plant attains 

 4 feet in height ; the lower leaves are often very large, and 3 

 to 4-pinnate ; the rays become over \\ inch long; and the 

 fruit is sometimes 3 or 4 lines long. 



Tiedkm annia Fendlbri C & R. Prof. E. L. Greene 

 has sent some robust specimens collected along Bear Creek, 

 Colorado, July 2, 1889, which have some of the leaves II- 

 foliolate, and the leaflets incisely dentate rather than " m- 



cisely serrate." 



Lki'tot^bnia anomala C. & R. was collected during the 

 past season by T. S. Brandegee, at Carbondale, California. 

 The type specimens of this very distinct species showed fruit 

 only and the leaves were very imperfect. The specimens 

 of Mr. Brandegee supplement our information and enable 

 us to complete the description. The leaves are first ternate, 

 then pinnate into distant narrowly linear segments, and the 

 flowers are yellow. The plant blooms in April and perfects 



fruit in June. _ TT . . . .
