ing from the root; radical leaves on petioles an inch long, ternately divided 

 and many-cleft; segments linear, obtuse, cauline, 3-5-parted. Petals small, 

 1-2" long, spatulate, equalling or exceeding the sepals —Colorado (703, 

 876). 



Ageimonia Eupatoeia, L.— Collected by Professor Loew, but neither 

 date nor locality given. Probably from Arizona or New Mexico. 



Rosa blanda, Ait. Colorado (391) ; Utah. Var. j3 (Fl. N. Am. T. & 

 G. 1, p. 460).— With leaflets smaller and some of them puberulent beneath ; 

 appendages to the calyx-lobes are also somewhat smaller than in the average 

 B. blanda. From the solitary specimen I have I should be inclined to con- 

 sider it a distinct species. — Willow Spring, Arizona, at an altitude of 7,195 

 feet (236). 



Rosa Aekansana, Porter (Fl. Col., p. 38).— "Stem stout, erect, leafy, 1° 

 high, glabrous and glaucous, armed with weak, deciduous, bristly prickles ; 

 leaflets 9-11, ovate and oblong-ovate, 1' or more in length, acute or 

 obtuse, glabrous, sharply serrate ; midrib and long stipules somewhat prickly 

 and minutely glandular ; flowers numerous, terminal, corymbed on pedun- 

 cles, about 1' long; fruit globose, smooth, glaucous; calyx-segments 

 ovate, reflexed in fruit, with terminal and sometimes lateral appendages, 

 more or less glandular and tomentose-pubescent on the margins ; petals 

 broadly obcordate or emarginate, longer than the calyx-segments ; flower 

 2' in diameter" (Porter, I. c). This, as remarked by Professor Porter, 

 may only be an extreme form of B. blanda; to which it has been referred 

 by Crepin —Twin Lakes, Colorado (390). 



Rosa feaxinifolia, Bork.— Differs from B. blanda chiefly in the greater 

 size of its leaflets and fruit; the former being sometimes 1£' long and 

 1' wide, and the latter "6-8" in diameter". The flowers are also larger 

 and the pubescence greater, though in these respects this species varies 

 widely. I am indebted to Dr. Vasey for calling my attention to the fact 

 that this (393), which I had placed under B. blanda in the Enumeration of 

 Colorado Plants (1874), is a different species. This is now placed by Mr. 

 Watson, in Index Am. Bot. p. 312, under B. Nutkana, Presl.— Colorado. 



capitate, single ovule ascending from the base of the cell; radicle superior-Glandular pilose herbs" 

 with woody bases, and with short, leafy branches. Stipules adnate to the petiole. Flowers white or 

 purple.— Benttum & Hooker.
