No. 5758m. August 6, 1894, Fish Lake, Utah, in 

 gravel, 9000° alt. 



This shrub has the habit of B. Doiiglasii, but all the ■* 

 low^er leaves are spatulate to oblanceolate, while the upper 

 leaves are linear, acute, and generally a little twisted, thus 

 approaching B. Vascyi on the one hand, and B. Doiiglasii 

 on the other; the flowers are a little glutinous, and the 

 leaves sparsely ciliate on the margin; the stem is scabrous, 

 otherwise nearly glabrous; the heads are sometimes 

 slightly floccose ; scales usually in threes, never more, 

 obtuse or barely acute, not at all keeled, the outer ones 

 green towards the apex and oblong, and the inner ones 

 linear and almost wholly hyaline ; corolla lobes reflexed 

 and triangular; style branches much exserted, and hispid 

 not quite half their length; akenes pubescent through- 

 out.
