 R. Br. 



This fine species was discovered by Columbus I. Huddle, supervisor of 

 the Lemhi National Forest, Mackay, Idaho. It was growing in the loose 

 black-limestone slide-rock, in Bear Canyon, altitude about 10,000 feet. The 

 specimens, secured in good quantity, were in full fruit. The species is named 

 for its discoverer, to whose courtesy the writer owes the memory of a glorious 

 summer day's splendid collecting in the forest, under Mr. Huddle's watchful 

 supervision, July 30, 191 1. Distributed under Nelson and Macbride s 



no. 1466.
