 acute; scape slender, (1-1 J° high,) the peduncles and pedicels of the usually 

 open panicle glandular ; bracts small, linear ; petals white, oval or orbicular, 

 unguiculate, obtuse, exceeding the obtuse ovate-oblong reflexed sepals ; fila-

 Nevada, and the Uintas; 8-9,000 feet altitude ; July, August. (360.) 



Saxifkaga flagellaris, Willd. Perennial, glandular-pubescent ; stems 

 ^-6' high, simple, leafy, 1-5-flowered ; stolons from the axils of the radical 

 leaves long and filiform, naked, rooting at the extremity ; leaves obovate- 

 spatulate, ciliate, the lower much crowded, the upper oblong or linear ; 

 sepals very glandular, united at base, and slightly coherent with the ovary ; 

 petals persistent, yellow, 3-4" long, exceeding the capsule. — Arctic America 

 from Greenland to Behring Strait, and on the summits of the Rocky Moun- 

 tains to Colorado. On the Uintas ; 11,000 feet altitude; August. (361.) 



Tellima^ paeviflora. Hook. Scabrous-hirsute ; leaves ternately divided 

 or lobed, the segments 3-cleft ; pedicels suberect, usually shorter than the 

 calyx which is obconic, elongating in fruit, and densely glandular-hirsute ; 

 petals much exserted, deeply 5-cleft with narrow segments ; ovary adnate 

 above the middle ; seeds oblong, minutely roughened. — Root more or less 

 granulate; stems 6-15' high, with 1-2 leaves, 4-8-flowered, occasionally 



■ TELLIMA, Bkown. Calyx campanalate, dilated, prolonged beyond tlie ovary and adherent to

 with the 10 small included stamens. Ovary half-superior, conical, 1-celled, with 2-3 parietal many- 

 ovuled placentsB ; styles 2-3, short. Capsule wholly or half inferior, membranous, 2-3 valved, many- 

 seeded. — Erect simple pilose or glandular herbs, with petioled rounded-cordate lobed leaves and 

 terminal racemes. The section Lithopliragma is distinguished by a turbinate 5-lobed calyx, unguiculate 

 3-lobed or pinnati&d petals, and minute seeds. Benth. & Hook.
