Trifolium uintense 
Trifolium dasyphyllum S. Wats. Bot. King Exp. 60, in part. 1871, 
Not 7. dasyphyllum Torr. 
Cespitose, subacaulescent perennial ; stipules large and scarious ; 
petioles 1-4 cm. long, sparingly strigose ; leaflets oblanceolate, 
broadest above the middle, acute ‘and mucronate, entire, 1-2 cm. 
long, sparingly pubescent or glabrate above; peduncle about 6 
cm. long, sparingly strigose ; head obovate, rather few-flowered ; 
bracts lanceolate, s—8 mm. long, 3-nerved, slightly if at all 
Scarious-margined ; calyx only slightly pubescent ; tube 2.5 mm. 
long; teeth subulate-setaceous, about 7 mm. long; corolla purple, 
about 15 mm. long; ovary pubescent, about 6-ovuled. 
This is a member of the 7: dasyphyllum group, but differs from 
its relatives in the broader, decidedly oblanceolate leaflets and the 
3-nerved bracts. |

Trifolium inaequale 
Cespitose glabrous perennial, with very short stems; stipules 
Ovate, short-acuminate, about 1 cm. long; petioles 3-10 cm. 
long, glabrous ; leaflets oblanceolate or oblong, acute or obtuse, 
minutely denticulate, rather fleshy, 1.5-3 cm. long; peduncles 
I-2 dm. long; heads sub-globose ; bracts ovate or lanceolate, 
5-7 mm. long, usually shorter than the calyces, usually cleft or 
toothed at the apex ; calyx glabrous; tube 3 mm. long; teeth 
unequal, the upper 2-2.5 mm., the lower 3.5—4 mm. long, lance- 
subulate ; corolla purple, about 1.5 cm. long; ovary 4-ovuled ; 
legume glabrous, stipitate. 
This is related to ZT. Parryi and 7. montanense. From the 
former, it differs in the decidedly unequal calyx-teeth, the nar- 
lower and smaller, ovate instead of obovate, bracts and stipules, 
and the less sharply denticulate leaflets; from the latter in the 
larger size and the ovate instead of obovate bracts.
