There seems to be no good reason for continuing the name A. marcissiflora 
for this plant of the central Rocky Mountains. That Arctic species is white: 
flowered, the flowers very closely umbelled in the involucre, and the leaves ar 
cleft into many more lobes than ours. The proposed species probably include 
all the specimens from the Rocky Mountains of the United States distribute 
as A. narcissiflora or A. albomerus (ined.). 
Anemone stylosa, n. sp.—Low from a thickened simple ot 
branched caudex densely covered with the dead sheathing petioles: 
basal leaves pale green, glabrous, biternate, segments 3-parted, 
again incised into linear-lanceolate acute lobes; involucral leaves 
short-petioled, otherwise quite similar: stems and petioles sparsely 
long-pilose, the hairs spreading or refracted: sepals oval or oblong, 
purplish red or greenish red: achenes pubescent, with rather long 
straight glabrous persistent styles hooked at the tip. 
This I take it is the plant referred to A. tetonensis in Syn. Fl. N. A. 1:10 
As yet reported only from type locality, Fish Lake, Utah, M. E. Jones, no 
5763 and 5764, Aug. 7, 1894. 
Clematis plattensis, n. sp.—Stems clustered on the crown of ! 
thick woody root, 12-18°™ high, terminated by the single stoul 
peduncle of nearly equal length in fruit, sparsely short-villous: basal 
leaves small, scale-like and entire: foliage proper of about 3 pails 
of nearly simply pinnate short- petioled leaves ; pinnae 7-9, the 
lowest pair sometimes ternate, all distinctly petiolulate (petiolule 
3-10™™ long) and long-villous: achenes long-tailed, hairy-plumose: 
flowers not known, presumably much like those of C. Douglasit. 
Type from the North Platte Cafion, in eastern Wyoming, Aven Nelson,

This it turns out is R. digitatus Hook. , an untenable name, as it is antedated 
by R. digitatus Willd. R. Jovis will therefore have to stand for Hooker’s plant
