flowers in bud are oval, about i^" long, with a nearly 

 linear tube, i" long, which sometimes becomes obconical; 

 the petals are obovate to nearly oval, yellow, rounded, 

 about 2-2" long; stigmas globular and style nearly as long 

 as the petals. This is one of the most unique species in 

 the genus, and is very noticeable on account of its size and 

 delicacy. It grows only in barren clay soil.

This plant has the habit of C . montanus and is the 

 same as the variety ^tir^ttrascens of Watson in the Botany 

 of California, but not of Gray in the Botany of Ives' Ex- 

 pedition. Peduncles in' fruit always as long or longer 

 than the leaves, nearly erect, rarely decumbent; flowers 

 purple ; involucels thin, hyaline, with 1—3 narrow and green 

 nerves but otherwise white and papery or sometmies pur- 

 plish; involucres also large and similar; lobes of both m- 

 volucres and involucels variable but usually roundish to 

 oblong and rounded at tip ; fruit large, oval, with very wide 

 wings, at least 4" long and with the wings nearly as wide,
