While the flowers of this Cymopterus are white, in this 

 respect resembling C. acaulis, the leaves have a closer likeness 

 to C. Fendleri. The longer and differently lobed leaflets sepa- 

 rate it from C. Parryi Collected in good fruit about four miles 

 west of Las Animas, Bent county, Colorado, June 16, 1909, no. 

 3905. The flowers appear early in April. 



When I published Aiilospermiim Betheli on page 46 of this 

 volume, the color of the flowers could not be determined from 

 the material at hand, and I wrotr "flowers purple (?)". I col- 

 lected it on May 26, 1910, at the type locality, DeBeque, Colo- 

 rado, and found the flowess to be greenish-yellow. It was an 

 unfavorable season for early flowering plants, having been warm 

 and very dry, and I was able to get but little material of it — two 

 or three fruiting specimens and a single plant in flower.
