120 BOTANY. 
LYTHRARIEZ. 
Cuprnea Wricutu, Gray (Pl. Wright. 2, p. 56).—Annual, 6-12’ high, 
unbranched; stem, pedicels, and capsules viscidly pubescent or hispid; 
leaves lanceolate to oblong, 6-10” long, petioled, gradually reduced to 
bracts, glabrous or nearly so; flowers either solitary or two or three in the 
axils; calyx with an inconspicuous spur, 3’’ long, naked in the throat; pedi- 
cels 3’ long; purple petals hardly 2’’ long; stamens included; anthers, 
style, and seed smooth —Sanoita Valley, Arizona (630). ~ 
LyrnruM aLatum, Pursh, var. LancEoLatum, T. & G.—“ Leaves lan- 
ceolate or elliptical, mostly opposite or whorled, acute at the base, often a 
little petioled, the upper ones much crowded, often shorter than the flowers” 
_(T. & G. Fl. N. Am. p. 481).—Nevada. : 
Var. LINEARIFOLIUM, Gray. (LZ. Californicum, T. & G.)—I have a set of 
specimens (309) from Ash Creek, Arizona, differing, so far as I can see, 
from this form in nothing except that the accessory calyx-teeth are not 
quite obsolete. 
ONAGRARIEZ. 
EpiLopium aNneustiroLtium, L.—Colorado (143); Mount Graham, 
Arizona, at 9,000 feet altitude (438). 
ipinopium Latiroyium, L.—Twin Lakes. Altitude, 9,600 feet. Wet, 
rocky places. August. We have in the collection the extreme forms of 
broadly lanceolate and narrow, lanceolate-linear leaves, with all gradations 
between. (142.) 
Epitopium TETRAGONUM, L—Twin Lakes, Colorado (145, 153, 156); 
Nevada and Utah. 
Epitosium coLoratum, Muhl.—Colorado (154). 
Epitopium paLustre, L. var. 4. auBirtorum, T. & G.—(156 bis.) 
These specimens were intermixed with 156 in the retained collection. So 
plainly marked were their characteristics—i. ¢., leaves entire, lance-linear, 
obtuse; stem few-flowered; flowers almost white; capsule hoary, at first almost 
sessile, afterward with a long pedicel—that I am half inclined to keep the 
form distinct as a species. Except for its manifesting little or no tendency 
to branch, it would be exactly EL. rosmarinifolium of Pursh, Fl. 1, p. 259.— 
South Park, Colorado. Altitude, 9,900 feet.
