Perenne, amplum multis ramis intricatis et divaricatis suberectis, praeter fibres omnino dense floccoso-tomentosum ; pedunculis multo et obtuse ramosis ; bracteis parvis, acutis ; foliis late ovatis, 1-3 cm. longis et paulo angustioribus, petiolis brevioribus ; involucris sessilibus, soils in axillis. apice ramulorum subcapitatis et dense confertis, dentibus invertis, majoribus 2 mm. diametro ; floribus 1.5-2 mm. longis, fere inclusis in involucris, basi obtusis, segmentis perianthii obtusis, pallidis.

Type : Herb. Calif. Acad. Sci. No. 298959, collected Aug. 7, 1938, at the summit of the Sherwin Grade, Mono County, California, by J. T. Howell, No. 14362. It was collected also by Mark Kerr, No. 453, on Mt. Whitney Road. 6000 ft. elev. The subspecies is founded upon the small involucres and flowers and the subcapitate arrangement of the involucres (Stokes, 1943).

Polygonaceae Eriogonum kearneyi Tidestr. Var. monoense (S.Stokes) Reveal -- Leafl. W. Bot. 10: 334. 1966 (GCI)

The concept of E. nodosum has, at least mainly in California, been applied to ssp. monoense S. Stokes (described in Leaft. West. Bot. 3: 201, —1943). This taxon seems better treated as E. kearneyi Tidest. var. monoense (S. Stokes) Reveal, stat. & comb. nov. The var. kearneyi ranges from western Utah and adjacent northwestern Arizona westward across central Nevada to Washoe Co., and enters California in the Mono Lake Basin. The var. monoense extends southward from the Sierra Nevada above Owens Valley to the San Bernardino Mountains, and differs in its longer, more clustered involucres and in the larger, more robust habit of the plants (Reveal, 1966).

CALIFORNIA : near Crestview, Mono Co., 10 Aug. 1938, J. T. Howell No. 14500. Type in Herb. Calif. Acad. Sci., No. 313539. Hills north of Mammoth, sandy plain, alt. 7900 ft., Peirson No. 6093. Valley north of Mammoth and east of Inyo Crater Lake, Mono Co., alt. 7500 ft., Ripley & Barneby No. 5833. Fig. 7-15.

Astragalus monoensis was first collected nearly twenty years ago by Mr. F. W. Peirson, to whom the writer is indebted for a portion of his original material. Since then it has been collected twice, always in the region immediately north of Mammoth, the three stations lying but a few miles apart. Mr. J. T. Howell, who kindly communicated the fine specimens selected as the type, alone has obtained the mature fruit.

The species is a remarkable one in that it exhibits a combination of characters not previously met with in North America. If the pod were considered the sole criterion of affinity in the genus — a course which Rydberg followed to unfortunate lengths — A. monoensis would be included quite naturally in Tium sensu Rydb., the falcate, obcompressed and imperfectly bilocular legume being not unlike that of A. salmonis Jones (though with the ventral, not the dorsal, suture concave) or that of A. inyoensis (though sessile). By the same system it might equally well be classified with certain varieties of A. lentiginosus Dougl. (Cystium Rydb.), though differing in the campanulate calyx. It departs, however, from all these species and their close allies in the connate stipules, a character which has proved of fundamental import almost throughout the genus, both in Asia as well as in the New World. Yet an attempt to attach the species to some natural group characterized by connate stipules is scarcely more successful. In general aspect A. monoensis is likely to recall A. sonorae Gray (sect. Ocreati Gray), but in that species, as well as its relatives, the stipules are scarious throughout, and the pod has no vestige of dissepiment. Perhaps more closely allied are the Chaetodontes (A. Austinae Gray etc.), but these are of rather different aspect, the long-villous, compressed pod is but little exserted from the calyx, and the keel of different shape. The species most closely resembling A. monoensis in the form of the stipules, in pubescence and in general habit is the singular A. striatiflorus Jones (sect. Cystiella Barneby), confined to a small area about Zion Park in southern Utah; but this species, with its attenuate keel, exserted style and membranous legume, seems otherwise remote. Yet again, in the general structure of the pod as well as in the obscurely bibracteolate calyx, A. monoensis may be linked with the very different A. iodanthus var. diaphanoides Barneby. It is probable that the species will eventually constitute a section apart.

In a narrow valley surrounded by pinewoods on the east slope of the Sierra Nevada north of Mammoth, A. monoensis is found in flat open places where the soil is composed of fine white gravel mixed with sand. Here, in a xerophytic association of low herbs which includes Hulsea vestita Gray, Oenothera xylocarpa Cov., and Eriogonum esmeraldense Wats., the species occurs locally but in some quantity, forming mats of silvery herbage closely pressed to the ground, or more often climbing up through the twigs of a dwarf Artemisia, where the whole plant becomes more lax and green. The numerous stems, filiform below but branched and stouter above, arise from the culticipital, subterranean crown of a slender taproot, rather in the manner of A. lentiginosus var. ineptus (Gray) Jones which grows nearby. The short leaves with their congested leaflets vested in villous hairs, the subcapitate racemes of proportionately large ochroleucous flowers, and the peculiar stipules are characteristic (Barneby, 1944).

Eriophyllum monoense Rydb.

The collection was described as Eriophyllum monoense Rydb. In N. Amer. Fl. 34(2): 87. 1915 [28 Jul 1915] (IK), as follows:

8. Eriophyllum monoense Rydberg, sp. Nov.

A perennial, with a decumbent cespitose base; stems about 1 dm. high, densely white- tomentose, very leafy; leaves obovate, 1 cm. long or less, with 3 rounded lobes at the apex, rather thick, densely white- tomentose on both sides; heads solitary at the ends of the stems; peduncles 3-4 cm. long; involucre nearly hemispheric, about , mm. high, 8-10 mm. broad, tomentose; bracts 8-10, elliptic, rounded or obtuse at the apex; ray-flowers 8-10; Hgules yellow, 7-8 mm. long, about 5 mm. wide; disk-corollas 4 mm. long; tube glandidar-hirsute, somewhat shorter than the puberulent throat ; achenes glabrous, striate, 3 mm. long; squamellae 8, unequal, the longer about 1.5 mm. long.

Type collected south of Mono Lake. July 8. 1863, Brewer 1823 (U. S. Nat. Herb. 323165).

Distribution: Middle Sierra Nevada, California.

The taxon was apparently first placed in synonomy with Eriophyllum lanatum var. integrifolium (Hook.) Smiley in Smiley's 1921 Flora of the Sierra Nevada of California, Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot. 9 378 1921.

The variety differs from the species in having the leaves nearly entire, a few usually completely so in some plants, though, as a rule, the apex at least is distinctly lobed. The white woolly indument characteristic of this species is often so reduced in amount as to make the stems and leaves appear green rather than the typical cottony color. The several different aspects have been assigned specific values in the North American Flora.

The taxon was retained but reduced in rank to a variety by Jepson:

Lupinus lepidus has been shown to consist of varieties best described as ecotypes. Low genetic differentiation among varieties paired with high within population variation indicates that gene transfer between populations can be high, and that reproductive barriers between varieties either do not exist or have formed so recently as to not be detectable.

The varieties of L. lepidus can be viewed as divergent ecotypes, in which morphological differences may correlate with habitat differences, coupled with few barriers to reproduction between taxa (Clausen et al. 1939).

Clausen et al. (1939) accepted that ecotypes should be named as separate taxonomic entities and similarly it is recommended here that varieties of Lupinus lepidus retain recognition at the varietal rank.

Hesperochiron californicus collected in Alkali Valley.  

Watson (1871) recognized that our plant was not a Scroph, but then placed it in Menyanthaceae the Buckbean family, as being similar to genus Villarsia.

Hesperochiron Californicus. (Ourisia Californica, Benth. Plant. Hartwg., p. 327.) More or less hirsute-pubescent; leaves clustered upon the summit of a short fusiform root, oblong or ovate, attenuate into a somewhat dilated fleshy petiole, obtuse, entire or obscurely repand-dentate, ciliate, 1-2' long; peduncles naked, 1-flowered, shorter than the leaves; calyx-segments 3" long, oblong, pubescent; corolla 5-8" long, more or less deeply cleft, the limb somewhat oblique, the tube and filaments somewhat hairy. —Pubescence rather variable, the surface of the leaves and sepals occasionally smoothish. An abnormal genus in some of its characters, its aestivation and the inequality of the corolla-lobes and stamens suggesting an affinity to the Scrophulariaceae, with which it was placed by Bentham without an examination of the ovary. It is, however, doubtless more nearly a Villarsia. Indeed, the V. pumila of Grisebach, (Hook. Flor. Bor.-Amer. 2. 70, t. 157; the corolla more open and somewhat rotate, the tube densely hairy within, and the leaves and calyx more glabrous,) is very similar and is probably either a second species or may prove to be but a form of the present one. From the Columbia River to the Sacramento, (1875 Hartweg, 379 Fremont, Cronkhite, and Lyall,) the " Snake Country," (Tolmie,) and near Carson City, (Anderson.) Found in the latter locality, in grassy meadows; 5,000 feet altitude; April. PLATE XXX. Fig. 1. A rather large plant; natural size. Figs. 2, 3. Flowers, different forms. Fig. 4.

(956.)

In the process, though, Watson published the genus name Hesperochiron in a footnote at the bottom of page 327:

HESPEROCHIRON. Calyx 5- (sometimes 6-7-) parted, the segments unequal. Corolla rather narrow campanulate, without either glands, corona or folds, the limb 5- (sometimes 6-7-) cleft, slightly bilablate and more or less spreading, the segments subequal, imbricate in aestivation. Stamens as many as the corolla-lobes, inserted at the base of the tube, unequal; filaments fleshy, attenuated upward; anthers oval, erect, cordate at base, 2-celled, cells laterally dehiscent. Ovary 1-celled, surrounded at base by 5 obscure glands, the numerous ovules attached in 2 rows to the sutural placentae. Styles united nearly to the apex, persistent; stigmas entire. Capsule 1-celled, loculicidally dehiscent, 2-valved, valves entire. Seeds wingless, ovate, roughened. —A perennial or biennial acaulescent herb,

I don't know yet who first placed the genus in Hydrophyllaceae.

Phacelia humilis Torr. & A. Gray

PHACELIA HUMILIS (n. sp.): annual, low, much branched from the base; leaves oblong, spatulate or lanceolate, all simple and entire, indistinctly veined, minutely hirsute-pubescent like the branches, and glandular dotted; racemes densely-flowered; segments of the calyx linear, obtuse, hispid, a little shorter than the (deep violet-colored) corolla; stamens exerted. Near the summit of the Sierra Nevada, California; June. A well-marked species, three or four inches high, somewhat cinereous, with a fine pubescence, except the inflorescence, and especially the calyx, which is hispid with rigid white hairs. Leaves an inch or less in length, shortpetioled. Corolla short, when expanded three lines in diameter; the base biplicate between the stamens. Filaments sparingly hispid above. Style glabrous. Ovules two in each cell. Capsule 2-3-seeded. This can hardly be the P. canescens of Nuttall, in P1. Gambell., which accords better with some states of P. circinata.

(Howell, 1943b) … in the key, uses "filaments long hairy" …

Munz (1965) does not use filament hairiness in his key, but does describe "… the fils. Pubescent …" in the description.

Taylor (2010) does not use filament hairiness in his key, nor does the character appear in his description.

TJM2 (Baldwin, 2012) in the key to Phacelia, couplet 18-18' says, "Filaments short-hairy," and describes P. humilis as "stamens short-hairy." No statement is made regarding hairiness for the varieties.

Discussion of this new species in Clausen, Keck, and Heisey (1940h, p. 265).

Penstemon cinicola Keck is a newly described species (described [above]). It occurs only on volcanis ash in that great region of lava flows east of the Cascade Mountains in central Oregon and probably south to the lava beds of northern California. Its precise boundaries must be worked out with the aid of cytology, for certain outstanding characters, such as the diminuitive calyx, which were thought to mark this unit clearly have been discovered in the diploid forms of P. procerus from the borders of this region. Also, the peculiar habit of the plant, in failing to develop a basal rosette as do the meadow-dwelling members of P. procerus, must be verified a number of times by chromosome sounts before it can ne accepted as correlated with the tetraploid chromosome number. We have counted chromosomes in plants (thereby verified as procerus) from the meadows in the same local region in which P. cinicola is found growing on ash. Hybrids between the two have not been discovered.

Mimulus glabratus var. utahensis

Section II. SIMIOLUS Greene

Mimulus, Sect.Simiolus Greene, in Bull. Calif. Acad. Sci. 1: 109. 1885. In this section, Dr. E. L. Greene placed all yellow-flowered species of Mimulus, and his diagnosis is sufficiently inclusive to apply to all. I follow Mrs. Grant in her restriction of the name to the present distinctive group of species although it must be noted that Greene's first species M. dentatus does not belong here; however, that species with its wide-throated corolla hardly agrees with the immediate group (defined as “corollas strongly bilabiate”) in which Greene placed it, so that, except on rigid grounds of text-priority, we may pass by it to the next-ensuing M. tilingii Regel and M. guttatus DC. It is the last wide- spread and abundant species for which the name Simiolus seems especially apt and which I consider as the logical type for the section.

Simiolus is a natural group of western North America and of Chile; it is highly variable and Dr. Greene and other workers have recognized many component species, while Mrs. Grant reduces them to sixteen.

Key to Species

A. Corolla 20-40 min. long, the throat much wider than high, the orifice nearly or quite closed by the uparching anterior lip; calyx-lobes all developed, at least the lateral acute; leaf blades ovate or oval, irregularly dentate; stems erect, or some- times slightly decumbent and rooting at the lower nodes . . . . . . . . . . . 2. M. guttatus

AA. Corolla 9-18 mm. long, the throat little wider than high, the orifice only partially closed; calyx-lobes usually blunter and the anterior tending to become obsolete; stems decumbent, extensively spreading and rooting at the nodes . . . . . . . . . . . . 3. M. glabratus

2. Mimulus guttatus Fischer

3. Mimulus glabratus Humboldt, Bonpland & Kunth (Map 23)

Like Mimulus guttatus and perhaps all species of Simiolus, the present species varies greatly in size, especially as to the leaves but also as to the calyx and corolla. The petioles may be well developed, or the leaf-blades may be nearly sessile. The leaf-blades may be acute or broadly rounded, dentate to entire, while the plants may be wholly glabrous or (as indicated by Dr. Grant) they may bear varying though slight amounts of pubescence. The species has a long meridian distribution from Manitoba to Chile, the typical subspecies growing at higher elevations from Mexico to Bolivia, replaced southward by the more pubescent subsp. parviflorus (Lindl.) Grant of middle Chile and Argentina, and northward by the following three subspecies.

The recognition of these Nearctic subspecies makes possible a reasonable geographic assignment of material, nearly all specimens falling satisfactorily into them. But intergradation is evident, and some specimens show characters of several subspecies; thus, E. J. Palmer 34325 and E. L. Reed 1819 from Alpine, Brewster County, Texas, classed below as subs. typicus, have uniform slightly denticulate leaf-blades as in subsp. fremontii; also, Pilsbry's plant from Buckeye, Arizona, classed below as subsp. fremontii, shows especially strongly dentate leaf-blades although the calyces are only 8-9 mm. long and the corolla only 9 mm. long. An actual study of all the biotypes of M. glabratus would evidently become an involved genetical problem. Of all its component elements the most remarkable appears to be the plant now being described as subsp. michiganensis; its large corollas and sinuate-dentate leaf-blades are unexpected in a form of very local occurrence within an area presumably heavily glaciated. Instead of intergradation to the neighboring subsp. fremontii, the plant has in accentuated degree characters elsewhere present only in subsp. typicus.

The Nearctic subspecies of Mimulus glabratus may be distinguished as follows:

A. Fruiting pedicels 10-20(-30) mm. long, twice as long as the subtending bracts; calyx 5-13 mm. long; leaf-blades usually at least denticulate.

B. Leaf-blades ovate or oval, denticulate or dentate; corolla usually over 12 mm. Long; calyx usually 10-13 mm. long; stems strongly ascending distally.

C. Corolla usually 12-16 mm. long, usually spotted within anteriorly; leaf- blades undulate-denticulate or -dentate . . . . . . . . . . . . 3a. M. g. typicus

CC. Corolla 15-22 mm. long, unspotted; leaf-blades sinuate-dentate. . . . . . . . . . . . . 3b. M. g. michiganensis

BB. Leaf-blades widely oval to suborbicular or uniform, undulate-denticulate to entire; corolla usually 8-12 mm. long, not spotted within anteriorly; calyx 5-10 mm. long; plant diffusely spreading . . . . . . . . . . . . 3c. M. g. fremontii

AA. Fruiting pedicels 25-50 mm. long, more than twice as long as. The subtending bracts; calyx 10-15 mm. long; leaf-blades oval to reniform, denticulate to entire. . . . . . . . . . . . . 3d. M. g. utahensis

3d. Mimulus glabrous utahensis Pennell, subsp. Nov.

Stem 4-5 dm. long, stout, finely pubescent at the nodes or more so on the distal portions of branches and on petioles. Leaf-blades cordate-orbicular, varying to oval or reniform, undulate-denticulate to usually nearly or quite entire. Pedicels 25-50 mm. long. Calyx becoming 12-15 min. long. Corolla usually 15-18 mm. long.

(Caulis robustior; folia cordato-orbicularia, saepe integra; pedicelli 25- 50 mm. Longi; calyx 12-15 mm. longus; corolla saepissime 15-18 mm. longa.)

Stem simple and herbaceous; lower leaves incise, subpinnatifid, the upper lanceolate and entire, on both sides pubescent, beneath tomentose; flowers ovate, erect and sessile; calix pubescent, panicle simple — Hab. On the banks of the Missisippi, near St. Louis; also on the alluvial plains of the Missouri. Obs. Perennial. Stem about 2 feet high. Lower stem leaves lanceolate, irregularly and divaricately laciniate, segments entire, oblong-lanceolate and acute.

Artemisia ludoviciana Nutt. ssp. incompta (Nutt.) Keck

Literature Cited:
- Nuttall, Thomas, 1840-1841.  

Artemisia incompta; herbaceous ; smooth, except the under surface of the leaves, which is a little tomentose; leaves almost simply pinnatifid, trifid or laciniate, sessile, the segments rather broad, linear and acute; flowers panicu- lated; capituli subglobose, pedicellate, erect; sepals ovate and scariose; florets numerous, smooth.

Hab. In the central chain of the Rocky Mountains, in Thornberg's Pass, near the great passage to the plains of the Oregon. At first sight it somewhat resembles some variety of A. vulgaris, but is very distinct. Remarkable for its smoothness. Height one to two feet; segments of the leaves a line wide.

(Clausen, Keck, and Heisey, 1940):

Representatives of Artemisia ludoviciana Nutt. are shown in figure 129. Plant 1324-3 on the left, from near Timberline station, is referable to A. ludoviciana ssp. incompta (Nutt.) Keck comb. nov. (A. incompta Nutt. Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. II, 7:400, 1841). This subspecies has passed frequently under the name A. vulgaris ssp. discolor (Dougl.) H. & C., which is now thought referable to a more northern species, A. Michauxiana Bess. Subspecies incompta is the subalpine and alpine form of ludoviciana, distinguished by the deeply and twice cut divisions of the lower leaves. Much variation and doubtless more than a single ecotype are included in this subspecies, which occurs in the mountains of Montana and Idaho, southward to Utah, Nevada, and California.

Clausen, Keck, and Heisey (1940) continue with this discussion of ssp. ludoviciana

The remaining plants in figure 129 belong to A. ludoviciana ssp. typica Keck nom.nov. (A. ludoviciana Gen, 2: 143, 1918). We believe this form, except in the high mountains, where it is replaced by the preceding subspecies, and in the Northwest, where a larger-headed form intervenes, is the principal one found from the Great Basin to the Mississippi River. Rather locally it extends westward to the eastern flanks of the Cascades and Sierras. It is chiefly confined to the region bounded by the thirty-fifth and fifty-first parallels, but its exact boundaries fluctuate considerably. The Great Basin form of the subspecies came from Leevining, Mono County, California; the Rocky Mountain plants are from the east flank of Pikes Peak, Colorado. In 1328-1 the leaves are tomentose on both sides, and this form is widely known as A. gnaphalodes Nutt.; in 1329-1 the leaves are prominently discolored, almost glabrous above, and densely tomentose beneath, and this matches the type of A. ludoviciana Nutt. We consider these forms inseparable into natural subunits, for both sorts occur together intermittently almost throughout the range of the species and obviously intermix. In this instance these characters do not even mark ecotypical differences.
