128 Muhlenbergia, Volume 7 



This species is perhaps more related to /. eremica than to 

 /. Kingii^ especially in the matter of pubescence. Coville orig- 

 inally described /. ere^nica as "villous-canescent throughout," 

 but Rydberg in N. A. Flora says "finely grayish-puberulent or 

 glabrate." In appearance the plant is more like /. Kmgii^ for 

 the leaves do not "at first sight closely resemble those oi P.\^oten- 

 tilla] santolinoides.'^'' The leaflets are not "broadly ovate," but 

 either narrowly obovate or elliptical. There were no flowers on 

 the type of /. eremica. I. Kmgii has flowers considerably smal- 

 ler than are those of I. halophila. Rydberg's description of 

 § Eremicae on page 286 of N. A. Flora should be revised to 

 read "plants glabrous or villous." 



Distegia involncrata (Rich.) Cockerell, in fruit, was con)- 

 "mon along streams in the meadows, and was also plentiful about 

 Lamoille. A second species of Hymenoxys with much larger 

 bright yellow rays was plentiful in alkaline soil along the road. 

 Like the one mentioned above, it does not seem to aofree with 

 any species heretofore reported from Nevada. 



On August 5th, work was begun about Lamoille, part of 

 the day being spent along and near Lamoille creek up to the 

 foot of the range, a distance of a mile or more. The creek is a 

 fairly large stream, carrying as much or more water than does 

 the Humboldt at Elko. The following .species were collected, 

 the altitude ranging from 6050 to 6250 feet: 



Agrostis exarata Epilobium paniculatum 



Carex aurea Svida stolonifera 



Limnorchis leucostachys Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi 

 Alsine longipes Phacelia leucophylla 



Thalictrum Fendleri Lappula calycosa 



Ribes inebrians Orthocarpus luteus 



Amelanchier oreophila .'Vgastache urticaefolia 



Trifolium microcephalum Galium boreale 

 monanthum Aster adscendens 



. Tium alpinnm Tetradymia cane.scens 



Chamaenirion latifolium 



Of these, excepting the several recentlv described species, 

 Trifolium monanthum, Chamaenirion lafi/o/ium and Phacelia
