Var. A more alpine form, with small leaves, ^-1' broad, glabrous or 

 somewhat glandular-pubescent, the racemes short, 3-5-flowered ; fruit hispid ; 

 the younger branches often very prickly. This, according to Dr. Gray, is 

 the R. setosum of Douglas from the Saskatchewan. Frequent in the Rocky 

 Mountains of Colorado and ' collected by Prof Brewer in the Sierras of 

 California. In the East Humboldt Mountains, Nevada, and in the Uintas ;

 and few-flowered. New England to Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, north to

 Sitka ; Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Wahsatch Mountains ; 9,000 feet 

 altitude; July. (377.) 



Rises beacteosum, Dougl. Unarmed, glabrous; leaves on long petioles,

 black, resinous-dotted and scarcely eatable. — Stems 4-8° high, rather weak ; 

 leaves often large, 3-7' broad; the elongated fruiting racemes 4-10' long. 

 Nearly allied to the last but distinguished by the longer nearly sessile
