176 LEAFLETS. 



save as to the notably pilose-ciliate margin, of the same deep 

 green as both the foregoing : calyx of the largest, deep red and 

 only moderately pubescent, the lance-linear bractlets large, 

 surpassing the erect petals : plume of achenes If inches long. 



In meadows near BanfE, Alberta, Canada, June and July, 1899, 

 W. C. McCalla, n. 2,073, as in U. S. Herb. 



E. ATJ8TKALIS. Large, IJ feet high when mature J leaves not 

 large in proportion, deep green as in the foregoing, foliage more 

 dissected, far less pubescent, minutely and viscidly so under- 

 neath a very sparse clothing of long pilose hairs ; segments 

 usually cleft to the middle, with one lobe entire and small, the 

 other longer and 2 or 3-toothed, all teeth and lobes obtuse, cal- 

 lous-tipped : flowers mostly 3 only, long-peduncled : bractlets 

 lance-linear, exceeding the calyx-segments, not rarely bifid at

At 8,500 feet in the mountains of southern Colorado above 

 Cimarron, C. F. Baker, n. 314 as in my herbarium. 



E. BEEViFOLiA. Seldom a foot high, the two interdodes of 

 the short stems each bounded by a whorl of unusually large 

 pinnatisect leaves : proper foliage short and compact, the leaflets 

 crowned, nearly divaricate, very broadly cuneate or cuueate- 

 obovate, much dissected, the ultimate lobes acutish or obtuse, 

 both faces of mature foliage almost glabrous under the sparse 

 clothing of slender and not long pilose hairs, these not notably 

 appearing as a marginal ciliation : segments of calyx oblong- 

 lanceolate, bractlets uncommonly small and not exceeding them, 

 the whole calyx fully equalled by the quite broad obtuse petals : 

 plume fine and short, IJ inches long. 



Subalpine in the mountains of middle Utah ; collected by 

 M. E. Jones (3 sheets in U. S. Herb.), and Lester F. Ward ; 

 S. Watsons' n. 318 probably the same, but taller and with less 

 abbreviate foliage.
