the sides of Truchas Peak and Pecos Baldy were other flowers 

 equally beautiful if not so gaudy. Acres and acres of blue col- 

 umbine seemed like patches fallen from the sky itself. Above tim- 

 ber line the colors were often even more intense; purple pole- 

 moniums, the golden, fnr-capped flowers of Ranunculus Macau- 

 hyi\ the star-like heads of the Senecios, rose-colored clovers, 

 white-and-blue Calthas, masses of bine Mertensias, the bright 

 spikes of the Elephantella, and many others, furnished as strik- 

 ing combinations of color as the larger and more gaudy but not 

 more beautiful plants of the lower meadows. 



Following is a list of those plants collected which appear 

 not to have been reported from the Territory before. A few 

 that have been collected in other parts of the Territory are men- 

 tioned because of their special interest. Several of the plants 

 collected seem to be undescribed, and descriptions of them are 

 included here; their types are in the herbarium of the New 

 Mexico Agricultural College. The plants previously enumer- 

 ated by Mrs. Cockerell are not mentioned in this list. A num- 

 ber of other names assigned to plants of the collection are new 

 to the flora of Xew Mexico, but the determinations are so uncer- 

 tain that no mention is made of them. Of the plants collected 

 by Mrs. Bartlett and by Maltby and Coghill in the forest, all 

 except two were collected by the writer. These exceptions are 

 Oxyria digyna and Scnecio blitoides Greene. Probably two- 

 thirds of the plants collected this year were not secured by these 

 earlier collectors. 



List of the more Interesting Plants Collected 

 4802. SELAGINELLA DENSA Rydb. Truchas Peak; also on 

 rocks just below Winsor's. The only other specimens that we 

 have from the Territory were collected in the Black Range, 

 more than two hundred miles away, by Mr. Metcalf. 



4286. Pints akistata Engelm. On Pecos Baldy above 

 timber line and at its edge. Here the small tree> or more prop- 

 erly shrubs, were much distorted by the force of the wind, but 

 on the top of Grass Mountain at 10000 feet, the trees were con- 

 siderably la:.
