ears and short ligines do not agree with the deser.

Leamade. I have 2 specimens of either please

6097! Stipa Kingii Bth. Sp. nov.
In honor of Clarence King my gallant chief in

6091! Vifla (Sporotulus)
[ Vilfa deparperata Torr., var. filiformis.
Brenner collected this in the Sierra Nevada & 2 Men
put it with V. depamperatu and on examining it now
I can do nothing else with it. It is just the
Sporotulus filiformis Mutt. Herb. Acad. Vifl deparperata
was founded upon a very diminutive specimen; it varies
greatly, & the largest form has been called V. latius
by Forey. He must better regard the present as one
of its forms, or make a half dozen or more
