S- PUNCTATA, L. {8. wstivalisj Fisch.) Twin Lakes. Moist, shady ra- 

 vines. Altitude, 11,000 feet. (803.) 



S. NIVALIS, L. Under this I would merge 8, Virginiensis Michx. I cau 

 s«e no propriety whatever in keeping up the distinction. South 



Park. July. (795.) 



S. NIVALIS, L., var. Grayil Exactly 193 of the Parry, Hall, and Har- 

 bour collection. Dr. Gray states that the '^ limits between 8, nivalis^ 

 Virgiuiensis, and integrifolia are not obvious." For this variety I an- 

 ticipate, (as we know it better,) the rank of a distinct species. Half- 

 Moon Creek; altitude, 11,000 feet. August. (796.) 



S. ABSCENDENS, L. 196 of the Parry, Hall, and Harbour collection. 

 From the old leaves at the roots of my specimen I incline to regard 



this as biennial, though the roots do have an annual appearance.

 2 to 4 feet high. Neither prickly nor spiny. Moderately branching. 

 Young branches light-brown; minutely glandular-pubescent; some- 

 what angular by two ridges continued from the edges of the expanded 

 bases of the petioles above. Branches of the previous year ashy- 

 gray, with a deciduous epidermis, which, on being shed, shows the 

 bark underneath dark brown. 



Leaves cordate-orbicular, deeply 5 cleft ; lobes rather obtuse, un- 

 equally serrate, though Jiardly doubly-serrate (average diameter of 

 the largest leaves 2 to 2i inches; depth of sinus at base in largest 

 leaves, J inch) ; slightly viscid ; under surface with a few glandular 

 hairs, pale-green ; upper surface smoother and deeper green ; petioles 

 in fully developed leaves from 1 to 1^ inches long, margined by a con- 

 tinuation of the veins of the blade, expanded at base and becoming 

 semi ami>lexicau], frequently strongly peetinately ciliate and glandu- 

 lar. 



Peduncles 1 to 2 inches long, decidedly glandular-pubescent, 4 to 

 lO-fiowered; bracts ovate-spatulate, obtuse, yellowish-white (occa- 

 sionally verging towards red), 1 to IJ lines long and 1 line shorter 

 than the pedicels, which are a little longer than the flower. 



Sepals red, lanceolate, obtuse, IJ lines long, never reflexed; petals 

 red, ovate-spatulate, half as long as the sepals, equaling the stamens ; 

 styles, two, distinctly conical from the top of the ovary, red for half
