Jepson cites Heller 11047 from the Charlestons ( see later) as 
C. intricatus. 
At Pomona only plants to match 7547 are from the Charlestons. 
Othe* plants have larger, less tightly rolled leaves and larger 
hypanthiums. 
At Field Museum only plant to match 7547 is Heller’s 11047 
from the Charlestons. This is also at Missouri Botanical Garden. 
At the Missouri Botanical Garden the only specimen to match this 
is Heller 11047 from the Charlestons. What I feel are the most 
dependable specimens of C. Intricatus at the Mo. Eot. Garden, are 
the following. 
E. J. Palmer 38000 July 26, 1030. (Plants of Utah from the 
Arnold Arboritum) 
C. C. Parry 28 Flora of Central. Utah 1875 
C. C. Parry 159, Flora of Southern Utah 1874 
The last two are annotated by Camilla Karl Schneider as C. 
intricatus Wats, tjrpicus. 
These three show the following

If xhe above Palmer and Parry plants match the type I would 
consider 7547 as a new species based on leaf and hynanthiuir characters 
elevation and isolation.
