I have seen no Oreocarya with nutlets that approach so nearly a 
disk in shape. The keeled ventral face of the nutlets and the sub- 
globose fruit suggest a relationship to O. oblata, but the nutlets 
touch at the edges and the aspect of the plant is rather that of O. 
Wetherillii. I have named this attractive plant in recognition of 
the special trips Mr. Edwin Payson made for me to the type- 
localities of rare Oreocaryas. His collections have been valuable, 
not only in this work but in that on related genera, so that it seems 
peculiarly fitting to connect his name with this group.
