. The botanical works of the late George Engelmann, collected for Henry Shaw, esq. Botany. 480 PAPERS ON GENTIANE^. tabum corollae longe excedentibus, exterioribus paulo latioribus margine membranaceo ssepius dentatis; coroUae laciniis lineaii-oblongis obtusis erecto- /. patulis margine medio breviter cUiatis versus apicem dentatis tu- be profunde cauipanulato intus ad basira filamentorum ciliato glandulifero fere duplo longiori- bus ; ovario nvato basi attenuate, stigmatibus seniiorbiculatis sessi- libus; seminibus squaniulosis. On the alpine summit of Mount Flora, in the Snowy Range, Colorado, Dr. Parry; flowers September. — A perenni- al, 2—4 inches high; radical leaves 1 inch long and 3—4 lines wide ; single pair of cauline leaves on the lower half of the short stem l^lf inches long, narrowed at base ; the 2—4 upper involucral leaves much broader at base ; ca- lyx about 1 inch and corollse 1| inches long ; lobes of corolla deep azure blue, about 1 inch long, 3 lines wide ; tube inside greenish yellow, with short purplish-brown filaments ; lower part of the fila- ments attached in the middle, the free edges beset with long and slender fringes ; oblong glands between the bases of the fila- ments very marked ; seeds (un- ripe) veiy similar to those of the allied G. crinita, rough from scales, which properly aTe desic- cated vesicles, protruding epider- mis-cells. Our species is in many respects the American representa- tive of the European G. ciliata; both are perennials with short peduncles, with ciliated bases of the filaments and short oval ova- ries, but the seeds are very dif- ferent. * Gentiana (Chondro [217] phtlla) prostrata, var. Americana : foliis erecto-patulis ovatis obtusis mucronulatis seu.
