style also) aurea. I must, however, say that the fruit is in no instance so 
much twisted as in the original specimens on which streptocarpa was founded. 
That differences sufficient to constitute distinct species exist between the 
extreme forms, no one will probably deny. It is equally certain that they 
_ shade into each other until at times all tests are doubtful and justify a place 
under either name. In this instance, I have named as streptocarpa all speci- 
mens having leaves “beset and especially ciliate, with long and rigid, 
shaggy, spreading, simple or simply forked hairs, far more bristly than in 
D. aurea, and with no fine stellular pubescence intermixed.” I rely more on 
this character in deciding between interloping specimens than on any other. 
Dragsa rncana, L., var. conrusa, Hook.—I have from Colorado (num- 
ber mislaid) a plant similar to herbarium specimens that are authentically 
named, and that bear the above name. 
Drasa montana, Watson.—‘ Annual, hoary-villous, with simple or 
branching rigid hairs, rather stout, erect, simple or sparingly branched 
from near the base, becoming a span high or less; leaves rosulate and 
rather crowded at and above the base of the stem, oblanceolate and oblong- 
lanceolate, acutish, sparingly toothed, half an inch long or less; flowers 
small, the yellow or yellowish petals 1-14” long, exceeding the sepals; 
pods linear-oblong, obtusish, roughly puberulent, about 4” long, nearly 
erect upon the spreading pedicels, which are 2’ or 3” long; style none.— 
Collected in Colorado by Hall and Harbour, without number; in South 
Park by Wolf (637), and near Empire by Rev. E. L. Greene. It is distin- 
guished from D. nemorosa by its stouter and less branching habit and its more 
erect pods on stouter pedicels, and from D. stenoloba by its stouter habit, 
greater pubescence, and somewhat broader and obtuser pods.”—Warsoy, MS. 
Drapa NeEMoRosA, L., var. LUTEA, Gray.—Georgetown, Colo. Stems 
less leafy and pedicels shorter. (628.) 
Numbers 635 and 636 of the Colorado collection I had named D. 
nemorosa, L., var. crassifolia, Watson, from the resemblance to Draba crassi- 
folia, Graham, in Hall and Harbour’s 1862 collection. Brewer and Watson 
(FL. Cal. 1, p. 28) speak of this, however, as having a naked and scape- 
like stem, whereas my specimens.are leafy. I therefore leave them simply 
under D. nemorosa, 1.
