Mr. Jones found his form on a Pinus ponderosa area at a 
elevation of 2100 m., near Cannonville, Southern Utah, but 
our plant belongs to a region over at miles northward and 
grows at an elevation of nearly 310 
July d Logs while riding over ge Wasatch Plateau 
towards E , Utah, I had the good fortune of traversing 
territory parcit hitherto has lain outside of the beaten path 
of botanists. While the plants of the plateau are fairly well 
known, since many species range northward and abound in 
more accessible regions; a great deal remains to be done in 
exploring the rugged regions immediately to the east and be- 
low the plateau. This region is marked by most rugged 
“box-cañons,” of which “Muddy Creek Cañon” might be cited 
as a fair example. A little to oo south of the latter lies one 
of the most inaccessible and, up to within two years, impass- 
able, steep and very a abrupt canons. A trail, recently con- 
structed by the Forest Service, enables one now to pass 
through this interesting region. 
From the plateau (approximately 300 m. alt.) one descends 
the Muddy Creek onto a lower, smaller plateau-like area which 
is open for a distance of some six or seven miles and covered 
with a dense Pinus scopulorum forest eastward to a line where 
the “slope” is almost precipitous. 
The cafion referred to above is er of the few means of 
descent from the plateau to the “eastern” desert. Here I 
run a number of interesting mea among which is the fol- 
owing: 
Aquilegia rubicunda nov. sp. 
Herba perennis pubescens, 1-3 dm. alta; caules pauci e 
radice crassa; folia basilaria petiolis elongatis 3-ternati-secta ; 
petioluli filiformes; foliola 1 cm. plus minusve longa, basi 
truncata v. cuneata, segmentis cuneata tridentata v. varie lo- 
bata, lobis rotundatis: caulinia simpliciora; flores luteirubi- 
cundique; sepala avata acuta, rubicunda, 1 cm. plus minusve 
longa; petala spatulata, pallide lutea, apice rotundata 5-7 mm. 
longa, calearibus gracilibus 2 em. longis; stamina petalis du- 
plo longiora; ovaria glabra, styli tenues; follieuli ignoti. 
Hab. Among rocks along the“‘Link Trail," Manti Nat. Forest, 
Utah, near Emery. (elev. 2400 m.) 
This form, which I at first referred to A. elegantula is dis- 
tinguished from the latter by its uniformly tapering spurs 
and pink-colored sepals.
