Transcription
nearly sessile (SVK contra. Cate v BH & II disagree
as to size flos). Most entire, a few slightly crenate.
Lowest bracts are 4 x 2 cm whence much longer
than flo. The uppermost bearing opened fls are
1½ cm hence only slightly longer than flo. Possibly
the shorter bracts now subtending buds would
be no longer than flo. All the bracts except the
very lowest are very def. 3-lobed (Cate v ill 4)
the middle lobe being much broader & longer.
This clear v locus (not subalpina as fol. pyramidalis SVKI)
makes L. genumeisis seem the best guess. Bracts
the same green as the los. Thes does not resemble
either # 297 or 298 of BH & II - this c.olla idea seems nearly
as in # 298.

B8H 314 WII 255, SVKI 532 Fl. Brought by Dr. Rendel from
"the pears". Note: 2 of the scaly lobes are always ± larger
than the other 3 as desc BH & II - this effect is not like
L. Campylotrichis. Of the 16 fls on the one plant one had
calyx and corolla 4-lobed [9-30-34 Fl on scaly slope on west
side of trail leading from to Sanderson. Cd wht 9-23-34, no doubt
did but R.B.K had thought this species not in this vicinity]
