obtuse, thickish; main calyx lobes ovate to triangular and 

 acute; seeds 1-2, orbicular, nearly equaling the calyx, 

 smooth; receptacle very setose: whole plant glabrous 

 (but not glaucous) except the sparingly hairy upper stems 

 and calyx tube; leaves 1^-3' long, linear, with broad, 

 thick, densely imbricated sheaths below and thus forming 

 close mats. 



This plant abounds in pine forests at the head of the 

 Sevier River, at about 8000 ft. alt., growing in very poor, 

 somewhat gravelly, clay soil.

No. 56950. July 27, 1894, Bromide Pass, Henry 

 Mountains, Utah, 10,000° alt., in gravel.

 Mountains, Utah, 10,000° alt., in gravel. 



Densely covered throughout with a yellowish, viscous 

 pubescence, as well as soft hairs. This is the common 

 form throughout the mountain region of Utah and Ne- 

 vada, the pubescence being so viscous as to stain the 

 sheets yellow in which the plants are collected. It is pos- 

 sible that the glutinous pubescence was overlooked in 

 Gray's type of var. inolle, in that case this will be ident- 

 ical with it.
