CONTRIBUTIONS TO WESTERN BOTANY. 69! 



To this I also refer the two doubtful specimens : 



No. 5095aj. April 23, 1894, four miles above Pagum- 



pa, Arizona, 5000° alt., in gravel. 



No. 5264c. May 19, 1894, near Smithsonian Butte, 



Utah, 5000° alt., in gravel. 



BiGELOVIA TURBINATA. 



No. 6066c. September 24, 1894, Canaan Ranch, 

 Utah, 5000° alt., in gravel. 



This species seems to be next to B . jiincea. Bracts 

 5-6 in each row, the lowest minute and often loose, all 

 obtuse or only apiculate, and all with a darker center, as 

 if keeled, oblong to linear, innermost 4" long and 2" wide, 

 shorter than the flowers ; pappus white ; corolla oblanceo- 

 late-cylindrical, with minute, ovate, appressed lobes; 

 style appendages filiform; anther tips nearly linear; 

 plants glabrous and a little glutinous even to the flowers ; 

 leaves sparse, long, canaliculate, uppermost reduced to 

 mere rudiments. This has the habit of the allied species, 

 being about 4° high, in a rounded, bushy tuft or shrub, 

 and grows on clay soil on the borders of an old sink. 



BiGELOVIA HOWARDI Var. ATTENUATA. 



No. 5847a. August 21, 1894, Marysvale, Utah, 6500°

 Utah, 7000° alt.

 Arizona, 9000^ alt., in gravel.

 alt., in clay. 



Usually with green stems, rarely whitened; heads 

 viscous; leaves linear to filiform; all the bracts long- 

 attenuate, not coriaceous, passing into green and similar 

 involucral leaves; flowers rather inclined to occur in 

 heads or short corymbs, fully equaling the leaves, light-
