sessile, a line and a half long: filaments and pubescent style slightly 

 exserted : pod 3 or 4 lines long, attenuate at base. — New Mexico and 

 . Arizona, rarely collected; near Santa F6, Rothrock (91). Plate II. * 



Amoepha fruticosa, Linn. — In its various forms from Winnipeg Valley 

 to Texas and New Mexico and eastward to the Atlantic ; at Willow Spring, 

 Ariz., at 7,200 feet altitude, Rothrock (244), apparently the typical broad- 

 leaved form, in flower, and resembling specimens collected at San Diego, Cal., 

 by Palmer (65), in 1875. Only the fruit will determine positively whether 

 it be not A. Califomica, Nutt, which has a shorter and broader pod than 

 the Eastern species, and usually more slender and acute calyx-teeth.

 Rothrock (248), and Cosino Caves, Loew (102).

 nial, branching, pubescent or glabrate, low : leaflets 3 to 5, linear or revo- 

 lute-filiform, 3 to fi lines long, about equalling the petiole, sparingly gland- 

 ular : spikes ovate to cylindrical, dense, rather long-pedunculate; bracts 

 ovate, rather abruptly attenuate into a long awn, densely silky-villous as well 

 as the calyx : calyx-teeth lanceolate, attenuate, equalling the tube : petals 

 rose-colored ; standard round-cordate, hooded. — Western Arkansas to New 

 Mexico; Arizona, Rothrock (81). Plate II. f 



Dalea alopecueoides, Willd. — From Sonorato Colorado and eastward
