126 Muhlenbergia, Volume 7 



Along the roadside was a colony of Hymenoxys, the stems 

 tall, about 6 dm. high, and rather flaccid, with few leaves below. 

 The heads are small, i cm. high, and about as wide, the pale 

 yellow rays short and inconspicuous. The involucral bracts 

 are glandular punctate, the inner differing but little in shape 

 from the outer, but are somewhat hyaline. The hairs of the 

 achenes are not ferruginous, and the pappus is a clear bright 

 white. 



On the morning of August 4th our road led for a number 

 of miles through the lower end of Lamoille valley, a region of 

 natural meadows and alfalfa fields, some of the meadows more 

 or less alkaline. Careful search in them would no doubt have 

 brought to light many interesting species. As it was, we had 

 to be content with what was visible along the immediate road- 

 side. 



Pneiimonanthe remota Greene, was fairly common, but was 

 not found at Deeth, the type locality. Watson apparently did 

 not collect this, as his description of Gentiana afinis from Ruby, 

 Huntington and Goose Creek valleys does not agree. 



A plant referred with considerable doubt to Veronica Ana- 

 gallis-aquatica was plentiful in running streams at two places. 

 The flowers are white, the three upper petals lined with pink at 

 the base, the smaller lower ones unmarked. Our herbarium 

 contains no eastern specimens for comparison, but I am inclined 

 to think that our Nevada plant is different from the eastern one. 

 What we need is a paper on this group of Veronicas with illus- 

 trations of flowers and fruit by some one who has access to 

 typical material. 



Ibidiiim sh-ictum (Rydb. ) House, was plentiful in grassy 

 meadows, the specimens collected rather taller with larger leaves 

 than in specimens from the Rocky mountains in our herbarium. 

 An undescribed species of Ivesia was common in nlkaline soil. 



/ Ivesia halophila n sp. 



Perennial {%Eremicae), white villous, especially the leaves 

 and inflorescence: stems erect or the outer ones decumbent at 

 base, about 3 dm. high, numerous from a short, erect woodv can-
