and especially in the leaves, which also have the bristle-points. It differs mainly in the 

 more open, purely cymose inflorescence and smaller and more decidedly angular flowers. 

 The range and habitat are about the same as those of the preceding.

Caudex somewhat cespitose from a more slender root. Stems several, decumbent 

 or ascending, 1-3 dm. long, finely pubescent or glabrate, somewhat leafy. Stipules ob- 

 ovate, entire, about .5 cm. long. Basal leaves many, 1-2 dm. long, pinnate ; leaflets 4-6 

 rather distant pairs, finely pubescent or glabrate, .5-1 cm. long, thin, obovate or orbicular, 

 generally oblique, deeply incised into rounded obovate segments. Stem leaves smaller 

 with 2-3 pairs. Infiorescence rather open and truly cymose, with slender pedicels. 

 Hypanthium 4-5 mm. broad, slightly glandular-villous, saucer-shaped, in fruit evidently 

 5-angled ; bractlets linear-oblong, one-third to two-thirds the length of the broadly ovate 

 sepals. Petals yellow, spatulate, shorter than the sepals. Stamens 5 with short fila- 

 ments, which incline toward the 4 to 8 pistils. 



In the flowers and inflorescence, H. Baileyi much resembles the preceding, but the 

 leaves have much fewer and larger leaflets, which are not at all imbricated. The leaves in 

 this and the next species do not suggest a Horkelia-Ioesia at all, but the following variety 

 with bristle-pointed leaf-segments approaches H. Shockleyi. Specimens :
