the Arctic Coast to Behring Strait ; also collected by Parry in Colorado, 

 and by Brewer in the Sierra Nevada. Numerous specimens were collected 

 in Nevada and Utah, varying much, but belonging to one species. Those 

 distributed under this niimber are 3-4' high, with the large flowers and fruit 

 in a loose raceme ; leaves spatulate or obovate, nearly veinless, stellately pu- 

 bescent ; scape nearly glabrous ; pods glabrous or pubescent. East Hum- 

 boldt Mountains, Nevada; 8-9,000 feet altitude ; July. (84.) 



Var. Somewhat more densely matted, and crowded with the leaves of 

 previous seasons ; 2-4' high ; leaves linear-lanceolate, with a more or less 

 prominent mid-vein; pubescence occasionally wanting. East Humboldt 

 Mountains, Nevada; 8-10,000 feet altitude; July, August. (85.) 



Var. (=i?. glacialis, Adams.) A dwarf and more alpine form, still more 

 compact, and the scapes but an inch high, 1-several-flowered ; leaves densely 

 crowded, more rigid and strongly midveined, densely pubescent or nearly 

 glabrous, not ciliate. Lyall collected similar specimens on the northwestern 

 boundary, and Brewer in California. Clover Mountains, Nevada, and the 

 Uintas ; 10-12,000 feet altitude ; August, September. (86.) 



Var. (near D. glacialis, Var. r, Hook.) Very dwarf and matted ; scapes, 

 pedicels, and silicles hirsute-pubescent, while the rigid linear keeled leaves 

 are strongly ciliate, but otherwise glabrous. Similar to 2716 Brewer. East 

 Humboldt Mountains, Nevada; 10,000 feet altitude; August. (87.) 



Var. {=D. algida, Adams.) Dwarf and matted ; scape very short, 1-3- 

 flowered, and with the silicles glabrous ; leaves ovate, glabrous, ciliate, less 

 rigid, and scarcely nerved. Resembles specimens of Bongard from Altai, 

 and of Hooker and Thompson from Tibet. East Humboldt Mountains, 

 Nevada, and Uinta Mountains, Utah; 10-12,000 feet altitude. August. (88.) 



Deaba stellata, Jacq. Perennial ; scape with a single leaf, pubescent ; 

 leaves oblong-oval, tomentose with a short stellate pubescence; pedicels 

 puberulent; silicles oblong. Var. hebecaepa; with the silicles pubescent. 

 Scape mostly leafless ; lower leaves lanceolate-obovate ; flowers white. A 

 reduced (1-2' high) and rather unsatisfactory form. Arctic America. East 

 Humboldt and Uinta Mountains; 9-11,000 feet; July, August. (89.) 



Dkaba mueicella, Wahl. (!) Scape naked, velvety; leaves oblong, 

 entire, canescent, with a soft stellate pubescence ; silicles oblong-lanceolate, 

 glabrous ; flowers white. — Labrador and A-rctic America. Considered by 

 Hooker distinct from the last. The specimens vary considerably from the
