Two new plants from Colorado 
Gro. E. OSTERHOUT 
’ Draba alpicola sp. nov. 
A small many-stemmed, perennial, alpine Draba; the 
root-stock. much branched, the stems 2-4 cm. high, hispidly 
pubescent, very slender, carrying one or two leaves, these 5- 
mm. long, scant 2 mm. wide, sessile by a narrow base; root 
leaves many, oblanceolate, or narrowly spatulate, widest near 
the top, 1.5 cm. long, about 2 mm. wide near the top, hispid 
ne pubescence; the inflorescence congested at the ends of the 
stems, consisting of three to six flowers on pedicels 2-4 mm. long; 
the sepals ovate, hispid, 2 mm. long, I mm. wide; the petals 
white nearly 4 mm. long, 2 mm. wide at the top, narrowed to 
a claw; the silique 3-4 mm. long, 2 mm. wide; the style I mm. 
long. 
The only specimens I have of this Draba were collected 
July 22, 1903, No. 2842, on the mountains of Estes Park, 
Larimer County, on the range beyond “ Windy Gulch.” From 
the fact that it had a moss clinging about the roots it is very 
likely that it grew in the shade and shelter of rocks, probably 
on the western rim of the mountain, where it slopes toward the 
canyon of the Thompson River. A portion of the type specimen 
is in the herbarium of the University of Wyoming. 
“Oreocarya stricta sp. nov. 
very short, the upper of two to four flowers and about I cm. 
long, more crowded at the top of the stem; the calyx 4-5 mm. 
long, becoming 6-8 mm. long in fruit, the lobes narrowly lanceo- 
late, with a midrib, hispid like the leaves; the corolla the length
