bulb-bearing; leaves ^-2' in diameter; petals white, projecting 1-3" beyond 

 the calyx. The seeds are described as smooth, but in these specimens are 

 minutely muriculate. From Washington Territory to Northern California, 

 and in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Found in the West Humboldt, 

 Toyabe, and East Humboldt Mountains, Nevada, and in the Wahsatch; 

 5-10,000 feet altitude ; May-August. (362.) 



Tellima tenella. Hook. & Benth. {Lithophragma, Nutt.) Root and 

 stem with often numerous bulblets ; glandular-hirsute; leaves temately 

 divided, the segments 3-cleft ; pedicels about equaling the campanulate calyx ; 

 calyx adherent to the base of the ovary, lobes pubescent within ; petals pink 

 or white, irregularly 5-7-lobed, lobes linear, acute; seeds small, oval, 

 smooth. — Smaller than the last in every respect ; stems 2-10' high and about 

 3-5-flowered; leaves |-1' in diameter; petals 2" long ; bulblets usually numer- 

 ous and often taking the place of flowers in the raceme. There can scarcely be 

 a doubt that this is Nuttall's species, described from very poor and scanty 

 specimens. Collected by him in Southwestern Wyoming, by Burke in 

 Southern Idaho, and by Ives in Western j^rizona; it is also 413 Fremont 

 (1846) and 62 Anderson. Frequent in the Washoe and West Humboldt 

 Mountains, Nevada, and in the Wahsatch and Uintas ; 5-9,000 feet altitude;

 boldt Mountains, Nevada, at 9,000 feet altitude, and in the Wahsatch, at
