A NEW KRYNITZKIA 
Mr. W. N. Suxsporr, who for a number of years has made quite 
extensive collections of plants in the northwest, more especially in the 
state of Washington, sent recently to the Gray Herbarium a consignment 
of specimens containing several species of particular interest. Among 
these rarities is a Krynitzkia which deserves an early record. Flowering 
specimens of this plant were first secured in the spring of 1901; and es 
June of the past season fruiting material was obtained. These collect 
have been placed at the disposal of the writer for study, and a careful 
comparison with the entire representation of the genus in the Gray Her 
barium shows that the Suksdorf plant is most nearly related to K. oxycary@ 
Benth. and K. rostellata Greene. From type material of both these 
species the Suksdorf plant differs in several important characters, at 
seems best, therefore, to regard it as specifically distinct. The writer tan 
pleasure in dedicating the new species to its collector. The plant sea) . 
characterized as follows: at,
