Calochoetus eueycarpus. Capsule 10" long, 6" broad, ovate, broadl}/ 

 winged ; seeds in two rows ; otherwise like the last. — East Humboldt Mount- 

 ains, Nevada ; 7-9,500 feet altitude ; August. The characters of the pod 

 and the altitude of the localities indicate a distinct species, but there is noth- 

 ing whatever in the flower or habit to separate it from the last ; where the 

 ovary is young the two are indistinguishable. (1,173.) 



Calochoetus Gunnisoni. (C. venustus, Var. ?, Torr. Bot. Gunni- 

 son's Rep., Pac. R. R. Surv. 2. 130.) Habit as in the last; petals rounded 

 at the apex, white above, yellowish-green below the middle and dark-purple 

 at base, strongly bearded with longish gland-tipped hairs, which are also dark- 

 purple at base, the densely hairy gland transverse and occupying nearly the 

 whole width of the petal ; anthers 5" long, rather exceeding the somewhat 

 dilated filaments, oblong-lanceolate, subcordate at base, narrowed above into 

 an awn-like termination or acute ; immature capsule narrowly oblong, atten- 

 uate above. — Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Collected also in Utah by 

 Gunnison. 



Lloydia^ seeotina, Reich. KuntKs Enum. 4. 244 Stem 1- (rarely 

 2-) flowered, slender, erect or ascendijig, 2-5' high ; radical leaves fihform, 

 equaling or exceeding the stem, triangular, semi-terete or teretish, the cau- 

 line ones short and diminishing upward, linear-lanceolate, amplexicaul or 

 somewhat sheathing ; sepals 4-5" long, obovate, with three purplish lines. — 

 Arctic Coast and Unalaska ; Rocky Mountains of Colorado. East Humboldt 

 and Clover Mountains, Nevada; 10,000 feet altitude; August, September. 

 The present specimens, like those from Colorado, resemble Var. /3., R. & S., 

 from Unalaska, in their somewhat rigid leaves and in the rounded apex of the 

 sepals. (1,174.) 



Eeytheonium geandifloeum, Pursh. Flora, 1. 231. {E. giganteum, 

 Lindl.) Leaves 4-8' long, 1-2J' wide, oblong or elliptic-lanceolate, some- 

 what rough-margined, not spotted nor punctate ; scape 6-15' high, 1-10-flow- 

 ered, peduncles racemed or subumbeled ; segments yellow, 9-15" long, 



' LLOYDIA, Salis. Perianth. 6-parted, regular, persistent ; sepals distinct, subequal, spreading, 

 with a transverse margined nectariferous fold above the base, imbricate in aestivation. Stamens 6, 

 inserted at the base of the sepals, erect-spreading ; filaments subulate-filiform ; anthers oblong, rounded 

 at apex, deeply perforated at the emarginate base for the insertion of the filament, erect, versatile, longi- 

 tudinally dehiscent along each margin. Ovary free, clavate-oblong, triangular, 3-ceUed, the ovules 

 numerous, in two rows, horizontal, anatropous. Style persistent ; stigma rather thick, shortly 3-lobed. 

 Capsule obovate-elUptlcal, triangular, papyraceous, loculicidaUy 3-valved at the apex. Seeds in two 

 rows in each cell, flattened, with a brown membranously margined testa and very small embryo. — Bulb- 

 ous herbs ; stem simple, leafy ; leaves narrow and grass-like ; flowers erect, white, with purple or green- 

 ish veins. - *
