in part. 



Our specimens have shorter capsules than are assigned to 



J. interior by its author, and smaller flowers and slenderer stems 



than typical/, arizonicus. These, and perhaps/, neo-mexicauus 



are probably confluent, and might advantageously be united in 



a species of more comprehensive definition.
