easily separable from E. reniforme by the pubescent 

 flowers. 



Eriogonum longilobum. 



No. 5590J. July 5, 1894, near Price, Utah, in clay, 

 6000° alt. 



Densely c^spitose in large perennial mats, very woolly- 

 hairy throughout, except the glabrous tips of the flowers ; 

 leaves broadly oblanceolate, all on a petiole nearly as long 

 as the blade, 1-2' loiigj thick, margins inclined to be 

 revolute or at least the leaf convex, obtuse; peduncle 

 scapose, 1—2' long, with 3—5 sessile involucres in a dense 

 head; involucres parted nearly to the base, lobes 2" long, 

 leaf-like, triangular, erect, equaling the flowers; flowers 

 abruptly contracted and with a minute prolongation above 

 the joints; pedicels i" long, but the flowers seem to be 

 sessile; lobes of the flowers obovate-oblong, rounded, 

 barely erose, yellow, with darker or green midrid, often 

 tinged with red, barely li" long; heads not bracteate; 

 akenes very woolly. This appears nearest to E . villi- 

 Jlorum, but somewhat resembles E. ovalifoliiini in habit 

 and leaves. 



RUMEX SUBALPINA. 



No. 5957. August 29, 1894, Brigham Peak, near 

 Marysvale, Utah, 10,500° alt., in gravel, in the bed of a 

 subalpine stream. 



No. 5893ai. August 23, 1894, near the head of Bullion 

 Creek, above Marysvale, Utah, 11,000° alt., in gravelly 

 soil, along the bed of a subalpine stream. 



Erect in large clumps, 3-5° high, smooth throughout, 

 stems i' thick or less, coarsely sulcate ; root leaves 1° or 

 less long, 2-5' wide, on petioles nearly as long, oblong- 

 lanceolate, smooth, entire, truncate at base or abruptly 

 contracted, hardly acute at apex, petiole stout and margin- 

 less, stem leaves similar but narrower, uppermost often
