No. 5560. July 2, Provo, Utah, in gravel, 6500° alt., 

 among oak brush on mountain sides. 



Plants erect; branches widely spreading, 2° long; 

 leaves elliptical-ovate, 1' long, i' wide; flowers many, 

 cymose-panicled at the ends of the branches, purple, cam- 

 panulate, 2-2" long; calyx lobes triangular, acute; corolla 

 lobes triangular, i" long. This is intermediate between 

 A. cannabinum and A. androscBinifoliitin. It is the only 

 form of this species which Fhave seen in the West. It 

 grows in more open places along roadsides in the mount- 

 ains, but never grows in meadows or in moist places fre- 

 quented by A. cannabinum, nor can it be a hybrid with 

 that species. This seems to be ^. jioribundum Greene, 

 Erythea, i, 151. . ,

No. 5650. July 19, 1894, Capitol Wash, near the 

 Henry Mts., Utah, 5000" alt., in sandy gulch. 



Erect, glabrous except the floccose- woolly pedicels; 

 leaves thick and leathery and all but the lowermost alter-

 lanceolate and tapering from the base to the shortly-acute 

 apex, 1-3" wide, 3-5' long, overtopping the short-pedun- 

 cled umbels (peduncle 6" long), umbel with many fibform 

 bracts; pedicels about 9" long, slender, about 20; calyx 

 green, lobes ovate to elliptical, i" long; corolla lobes 

 oval, white, 2" long; column |" long; hoods oblong, trun- 

 cate, greenish white, with a green midrib, just equalling 

 the anther tube; horns much exserted, touching or over- 

 lapping in the center; anther wings very broad at base 

 and truncate, then quickly narrowing above; pods on re- 

 curved pedicels, mostly erect, glabrous, ovate-oblong, 

 taper-pointed, 15-20" long. 



Phacelia glechomcBfolia Gray, P. -perityloides Coville 

 in Death Valley Rep. Mr. Coville's plants seem to be 

 identical with Gray's.
