B. holopterum, Gray. About a foot high, perhaps from an annual root, loosely pan- iculate-branched, rather slender : leaves linear, an inch or so long, very rough with the papilliform bases of the rigid short bristles ⢠paniculate spikes rather few- and at length loosely flowered: calyx and corolla about a line (and the former becoming 2 lines) long: immature nutlets ovate-trigonous, a line long, muriculate on the convex back, abruptly wing-margined (the wing nearly the breadth of the dorsal disk), attached for nearly the whole length to the conical-subulate gynobase. â Proc. Am. Acad. xii. 81. â Ehrenberg, Arizona, Palmer. "E. setosissimum, Gray. Stem robust, 2 feet or more high from an apparently biennial root, nearly simple, very hispid (as is the whole plant) with long and stiff hut slender spreading bristles (with or without papilliform base), also cinereous with fine spreading hairs: leaves lanceolate-spatulate, the lower 4 or 5 inches long (including the tapering base or margined petiole): spikes in fruit elongated (3 or 4 inches long), dense and strict in a naked thyrsus: corolla 2 or hardly 3 lines long : anthers on short and thickened inflexed filaments ; fructiferous calyx fully 3 lines long; the lobes oblong-lanceolate, carinate by a strong midrib: nutlets obcompressed, almost 3 lines long, broadly ovate in outline, dull, merely scabrous on the back; the conspicuous wing much narrower than the disk and ex- tended round the base ; the scar narrow at base: gynobase elongated-subulate. â Proc. Am. Acad. 1. c. â Shores of Fish Lake, Utah, at the elevation of 8,700 feet, L. F. Ward
