4861! Melica aristata, Sp. nov. 6118! Festuca microstachys var. ciliata 6073. Festuca pumiflora, Thunb. 6100! 5067? 5066! Festi violaceus, Gaud.?? [This is called F. rubra in Berry's Rocky Mt. Plants & is the F. rubra of Bourgeous collection. Bentham puts F. rubra under F. ovina & very properly as I puts F. rubra under F. ovina var. rubra or violacea Write. This should be F. ovina var. rubra or violaceus if it more nearly resembles that form.] Old Danm all. 11,000 ft. 6085! Elymus condensatus Reel. 6080! Elymus libricens Lo. 5023! Triticum caninum, Scrib. [This is what I have called from description only, Triticum violaceum Hornem. Vide Anderson Gram. Scanl. p. 5- We have no root to these species] 6468 Triticum aegilopoites Could it be T. dingseni of Jovey. [I have no specimens in either Breems or the State Set] Boulder's Specimen of an un-determined Festuca, "It is the last Festuca in my lot and 4704 of Cate" In all cases I have no specimens to identify it by, though I probably have it from Breems Collection - 4669. is a Lecturus which he thinks of working out. So I will leave it for him. It is quite distinct from F. paniculata in its simple spike, the position of the panicle with a tuft of hairs at its glumes, armed palea with a tuft of hairs) the base. & - It should be compared with Scot's (Rais) 6110! Triticum sebesan mixed with T. aegilopoites 792
