136 BOTANY. 



generally the largest, oblong, irregularly serrate to within 6" of the acute tip; 

 inflorescence corymbose, "corymb 5-rayed"; stamens two-thirds as long as 

 the petals; anthers oval or somewhat cordate. Fruit I have not seen. (712.) 



Sambucus racemosa, L., var. pubens, Watson. — Clear Creek Canon, 

 Colorado. 



Symphoricarpus rotundifolius, Gray (PL Wright. 2, 66). — " Leaves 

 orbicular, or ovate-rotund, small and with the branches softly pubescent; 

 flowers solitary in the axils ; bracteoles shorter than the ovary, and with 

 the teeth of the cup-shaped calyx ovate, obtuse and glabrous ; corolla 

 funnel-shaped, smooth within, lobes longer than the stamens. 3-4° high, 

 much branched; leaves 5-9" long and nearly as wide, entire or often 

 repand, petiole a line or less in length." — Nevada. Not having access to 

 the specimen, I quote the above original description bodily from PI. Wright. 

 In vol. v, King's Report, Mr. Watson places this under S. montanas, H. B. 

 K. Later, however, he keeps them apart in his catalogue published by this 

 Survey in 1874, p. 10. 



Symphoricarpus oreophilus, Gray (Revis. Symph. Jour. Linn. Soc. 

 vol. xiv, p. 12). — Low, branching shrub, with a loose, grayish epidermis; 

 leaves oblong, obtuse, sessile or nearly so, thickish, somewhat glaucous below, 

 entire or slightly undulate ; principal veins below more or less pubescent, 

 6-12" long and half as wide; inflorescence racemose along the short, lateral, 

 leafy branchlets ; flowers rising from the axils of the leaves on short pedicels, 

 which are terminated by a pair of minute bracts one-fourth as long as the 

 mature capsule ; ovary oval, constricted under the persistent calyx-lobes, 

 which are J" long and very obtuse ; corolla cylindrical, 4-6" long, lobes £" 

 long, rounded, naked in the throat, but a little hairy inside toward the 

 bottom ; stamens included, on very short filaments rising just above the 

 sinuses; anthers oblong, apiculate; stigma 2-lobed and one-third as long as 

 the corolla-tube. — South Park, Colorado (18). Leaves smaller, but plant 

 bearing a general resemblance to S. racemosus. 



Linn^ea borealis, Gronov. — Twin Lakes, Colorado, at 11,000 feet 

 altitude. 



Lonicera involucrata, Banks. — Colorado (19).
