This belongs to the section Giliaiidra, biennial, erect, 

 2-2i° high, branched above into a very wide, open, 

 corymbose panicle, which is often 2° across, and some- 

 times practically flat-topped; all the upper leaves are 

 reduced to arcuate bracts, the root leave and lower stem 

 leaves are pinnatifid with oblong, entire, rounded, acutish 

 lobes, leaves 2-3' long; glabrous throughout, except the 

 glandular, campanulate, very short pediceled calyx; calyx 

 tube about i" long, the blunt lobes minute; corolla about 

 6" long, sky blue, tube 3—5" long, rather ampliate above 

 and campanulate, with oval lobes, which are i|" long and 

 surpass the widened upper tube, and are rotate-spreading; 

 filaments long-exserted, double the tube, blue, crowned 

 with oval, minute anthers, filaments spreading. This 

 plant has the habit of very robust forms of G. latijlora 

 and G. inconspicua. It is a very beautiful plant, and was 

 first discovered some ten years ago by Miss Kelley, now 

 Mrs. McVic,ker, of Salt Lake City, at Panguitch Lake, 

 Utah. Her specimen was without the root leaves. I sent
