serrulate : flowers in dense ovate spikes, at length reflexed, ochro/eucous : calyx-

Var. ( ? ) latifolium, Hooker. Often low : leaflets broader : flowers 

 pedicellate in loose heads. — With the species. 



4. T. Kingii, Watson. Glabrous throughout : leaflets oblong to oblanceolate, 

 very acute, sharply denticulate : peduncles exceeding the leaves : heads naked, 

 the purplish flowers at length reflexed; the rachis often produced above the 

 head, with a few spinescent bracts : calyx-teeth about one third the length of the 

 corolla. — Bot. King's Exp. 59. T. Haydeni, Porter in Hayd. Rep. 1871. 

 From Montana through Idaho and Utah to N. E. California. 



-i- -f- Dwarf, cespitose, acaulescent or nearly so. 

 ++ Glabrous : flowers large : ovary smooth, linear, 4 to 7-ovided. 



5. T. nanum, Torr. Leaflets small, oblanceolate, serrulate, strongly veined : 

 peduncles very short, radical : flowers 1 to 3, dark purple : calyx-teeth broad, 

 acute, shorter than the tube : ovary 4 to 5-ovuled. — Mountains of Colorado and 

 Utah. 



6. T. Brandegei, Watson. Leaflets elliptic-oblong, thin, entire : peduncles 

 about equalling the leaves : flowers spicate in a loose naked head, purplish : calyx- 

 teeth lanceolate, acuminate, a little longer than the tube : ovary stipitate, 1-ovuled. — 

 Proc. Am. Acad, xi. 130. S. W. Colorado and N. W. New Mexico. 



++ ++ Pubescent : flowers small: ovary obovate, densely villous, 2-ovu/ed, at length 

 exserted from the calyx. 



7. T. gymnoearpon, Nutt. Leaflets ovate-oblong to oblanceolate, ser- 

 rate : peduncles shorter than the leaves : flowers 2 to 6, in rather close heads, 

 on short pedicels : calyx-teeth equalling the tube. — Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 320. 

 Bot. King's Exp. 62, t. 8. W. Wyoming and the Wasatch. 



* * * Leaflets 3 : heads subtended by a mostly mono phyl Ions usually many-cleft 



involucre, axillary : flowers in whorls, sessile or nearly so, not reflexed. 

 •*- Low or dwarf perennials, acaulescent or nearly so: flowers rather large: invo- 

 lucre parted, somewhat scarious.

9. T. dasyphyllum, Torr. & Gray. Cespitose : leaves, peduncles, and 

 calyx more or less silky : leaflets linear-lanceolate, entire : head globose, on a long 

 radical peduncle : bracts very small, unequal, lanceolate : calyx-teeth linear, 

 much longer than the, tube. — Mountains of Colorado, and the Uintas. 



10. T. andinum, Nutt. Cespitose, silky-can escent : leaflets rigid, cuneate-
