GENUS AN0XITB8. 99 



base, 6 or 8 inches high, leafy below, the cyme nearly naked : 

 leaves deep green, oblanceolate-elliptic, acute, 1 to li inches 

 long, surpassing the internodes and suberect, both faces some- 

 what glandular and retrorse-hirtellous: stem clothed throughout 

 with very viscid gland-tipped hairs widely spreading, but the 

 lower internodes with also a minute glandless deflexed pubes- 

 cence under the other kind : cyme contracted, the short pedicels 

 subtended by small bracts: calyx-teeth deltoid-ovate, merely 

 acute or scarcely so : petals small. 



Blue Mountains, Columbia Co., Washington, E. M. Horner, 

 17 July, 1896 ; type in U. S. Herb. 



4. A. DIFFUSA. Low, diffusely branched from the base, rather 

 rigid, the plant 5 or 6 inches high, 7 to 10 in breath, not de- 

 pressed, internodes shorter than the leaves, the latter broadly 

 oblanceolate to elliptical, acute, spreading, bright green and 

 glabrous or merely scaberulous above, beneath rough with short 

 retrorse hairs, these more numerous on midvein and margin ; 

 lower internodes rather densely retrorse-pnbescent, all from the 

 middle parts of the pliint upwards as densely glandular-hirtel- 

 lous only ; leafy bracts of the copious inflorescence not small, 

 elliptic-lanceolate, surpassed by the filiform pedicels; mature 

 calyx turbinate, the lube 10-angled ; teeth deltoid, acute. 



Type specimens in my own herbarium from Sugarloaf Hill, 

 Modoc Co., Calif., 1894; younger material from the same place 

 in 1895 ; both by Mrs. Austin. 



6. A. AL8IN0IDES. Low, compact, diffuse, the branches 5 to 8 

 inches long, very leafy below, floriferous from below the middle, 

 the inflorescence leafy with only small leaves or bracts ; stem 

 and branches all weak and slender, retrorsely villous, the pedi- 

 cels minutely glandular and hirtellous : stem leaves oblong-lan- 

 ceolate to elliptic, f to li inches long, those of the cyme less 

 than half as large, obovate, all acute, thin, nerveless, glabrous on 

 both faces, marginally retrorse-ciliolate : pedicels very short, 

 mostly of twice the length of the calyx, this large for the plant, 

 hirtellous, the deltoid acutish teeth villous-ciliate: lobes of the 

 petals broad, nearly obovate.
