This species is near i?. nevadense Kellogg-, but the racemes 

 are ascending when in flower. The floral organs also differ in 

 shape.

 in the same vicinity, and from Coburn's Mills in Fresno County,

 sepals and petals are more orbicular, tlie filaments are shorter, 

 and the anthers broader and more orbicular. It is named in 

 honor of Mrs. William Jasper, who sent the specimens from San 

 Emidio Canon, Kern County, California, May, 1895.
