76 LEAFLETS. 



basal ones similar to these, but the outer short, oblanceolate, 

 acute; both stem and foliage retrorsely puberulent: calyx cleft 

 below the middle, and at least in anthesis expanding to open- 

 campanulate, only the segments herbaceous and even these with 

 scarious margin, the broad and nearly saucer-shaped tubular 

 part scarious, but with several green nerves : corolla greenish, 

 twice the length of the calyx and salverform, the petals as to 

 their expanded portion cuneate-obcordate : fruit not known. 



Hackett's Meadows, at 8600 feet, 16 July, n. 4498 of Baker's 

 distribution. Species with calyx so deeply cleft and so remark- 

 ably open as to render doubtful the propriety of its consignment 

 to this genus. 



Aquilegia paucijlora. Scarlet-flowered and an ally of 

 A. truncata, but subacaulescent, little exceeding a foot in 

 height, only the subligneous and fibrous-coated caudex leafy, 

 the nearly naked and very erect pedunculiform stem bearing 

 from 1 to 6 flowers near the summit : leaves of half the height 

 of the flower-stalk or less, pale and minutely hirtellous beneath, 

 very dark-green and glabrous above, the pedicels and spurs 

 glandular-pubescent : flower IJ inches long from tip to tip of 

 spurs and anthers ; sepals oval, obtuse, spreading or reflexed, 

 not equalling the spurs ; blade of petal distinct but short ; 

 filaments puberulent. 



Hackett's Meadows, 16 July, in flower only ; Baker's n. 4460. 

 The almost stemless habit and peculiar pubescence of the 

 lower leaf face distinguish this subalpine plant well from its 

 large widely branched and many-flowered kindred of the coast. 



Delphinittm luporum. Koot apparently woody-fibrous : 

 solitary stem more than a foot high, slender, sparsely leafy 

 except at base, very light-green, glabrous and shining ; lowest 

 leaves 5-parted, the segments round obovate and with 3 or 3 broad 

 rounded and rather deep lobes, those of the stem with more cunei- 

 form divisions aud acute lobes, or the divisions simple and entire 

 and oblong-lanceolate cut in those next below the rather naked 

 peduncled raceme; this very lax, made up of only 5 to 7 large 

 flowers on long and slender ascending pedicels ; the pedicels and 

 the long straight slender-conical spur loosely villous-pubescent :
