about half an inch long, on slender pedi- 
cels, in a loose cluster. The spurs give 
them a quaint and pert effect. The style stays on the tip 
of the long curved capsule, which looks like a bean-pod, 
drooping or sticking out at an awkward angle from the 
stem. This is especially fine in some of the mountain 
valleys in Utah, making beautiful clumps of foliage; it is 
widely distributed and is also found in the East. In the 
West it is sometimes called Dutchman’s Breeches and 
confused with that plant, but rather absurdly so, for the 
Dutchman could have only one leg!
