46 DIAGNOSES SPECIERUM NOVARUM. 
corolla is, however, about 13 mm.long. Ward No. 637, a shrub 
of 6-8 ft., in open places on screes at 14,000 ft., from the same 
area, is very similar, except for the glabrous style—perhaps 
that will prove to be at most only a varietal distinction. 
The affinity of these last is more with L. saccata than with 
L. chlamydata.
