 Morton E. Peck 



The following new species and varieties are to be added to 

 the flora of Oregon. The type material is in the Herbarium of 

 Willamette University. 



Brodiaea dissimulata sp. nov., bulbo fere globoso 15-20 mm. 

 lato lamina externa fibrata tenua; scapis tenuis 3-4.5 dm. altis; 

 foliis viridibus usque ad anthesem brevioribus quam scapis 

 2.5-5 mm. latis; umbellis5-13floris, bractiisinvolucri lanceolatis 

 albo-scariosis pedicellis 8-16 mm. longis; perianthio lato-cam- 

 panulato 12-15 mm. longo fere per longitudinem partito pallide 

 croceo vel purpureo-tincto, lobis oblongis vel anguste ovatis 

 medionervis nigroviridibus valde notatis; staminibus 6 albis 

 omnibus similibus, filamentis lato-deltoideis basi confluentibus, 

 antheris fere basifixis 2.5-3 mm. longis paullo brevioribus quam 

 filamentis; ovariis capsulisque brevistipitatis. — Type Airs. Lilla 

 Leach, 2945, in dry rocky ground along the Illinois River, near 

 Selma, Curry County, June 3, 1930. 



This species is most nearly related to B. Hendersoni Wats, 

 but differs in the smaller size, narrower leaves, smaller flowers 

 and shorter, more dilated filaments. It is locally plentiful. 



Brodiaea Leachiae sp. nov., bulbo ovoideo 1.5-2 cm. alto 

 lamina fibrata crassa; scapa tenuissima scabriuscula obscure 

 purpurea 1.5-2.5 dm. alta; foliis plerumque 2 scapam aequanti- 

 bus vel superantibus 4-7 mm. latis valde complicatis, ante in- 

 florescentiam non naccescentibus; umbellis 4-7-floris, bractiis 

 anguste subulato-lanceolatis, pedicellis filiformis 12-25 mm. 

 longis; perianthio 1.5-2 cm. longo campanulato-infundibuli- 

 formi vel lobis valde patentibus paullo plus ^ longitudinem par- 

 tito tubo in basin angustissimam gradatim contracto albo vel 

 caeruleo-tincto, lobis linea lata caerulea saturatius vel purpureo- 

 caerulea distinctis usque ad basin tubi excurrenti; staminibus 

 omnibus similibus, antheris versatilibus coeruleis 2.5-3 mm. 

 longis, filamentis aliquid longioribus anguste subulatis non 

 valde ad basin dilatatis, ovario stipitato stipo bis longiori quam 

 corpore. — Type Airs. Lilla Leach 3260 on a dry hillside along 

 the Illinois River, near Agnes, Curry Co., May 5, 1931, deposited 

 in the Herbarium of Willamette University. A handsome species 

 probably very local. Not closely related to any hitherto de- 

 scribed.
