PREFACE
During the summer of 1906 I was employed by the Depart-
ment of Botany of the University of Missouri to collect plants
in Colorado for the Herbarium of the University. I spent,
therefore, a period of two months and a half in this work. I
arrived at Boulder, Colorado, June eighteenth, and departed
thence September third. All the collecting was done in Boul-
der County, and the greater part of it within a radius of five
miles from the city of Boulder. I collected altogether about
1,036 species of flowering plants and ferns. The vernal plants,
of course, had blossomed before my arrival, but except for
these the flora of Boulder is fairly well shown in the collection.
In the list of plants here given there have been included
all that are known to occur in Boulder County; but inasmuch
as the boundary between Grand and Boulder Counties lies
along the summits of the main range of mountains it is impos-
sible often to tell in what county a given plant has been col-
lected. Similarly Long's Peak lies partly in Larimer County
and partly in Boulder County. In all cases in which plants
have been cited from a mountain lying partly in Boulder Coun-
ty, these have been included in the list, unless a definite locali-
ty in the other county is given. Plants admitted to the list
because of the citations given in Rydberg's Flora of Colorado
xii PREFACE
are ascribed to Rydberg; it is of course understood that this
ascription does not imply that these plants were collected by
Rydberg in the localities named, but merely that by examina-
tion of the plants or otherwise he is satisfied that they occur
in those places. In the case of plants collected by myself I
have added the collection number, so that these can be identi-
fied at any time. I may add that besides the set of Boulder
plants in the Herbarium of the University of Missouri, there
is a duplicate set in the Herbarium of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College; there is also a set in my own possession. The
Herbarium of the Missouri Botanical Garden has an incom-
plete set. As the numbers are the same for all plants of the
same species, the identification of any of these plants can be
made out from the number given in the list.
In the introduction I have sought to present what knowl-
edge I have of the distribution of plants in Boulder County.
I have tried to present them in their natural plant-societies.
I saw, however, too little of the montane, subalpine, and the
alpine floras to be able to give a comprehensive account of these,
and it must be remembered that I did not see the vernal facies
of any portion of the vegetation.
As to nomenclature I have followed, except where plainly
deficient in the light of later investigation, that of Rydberg's
Flora of Colorado. While I feel that in the case of both
genera and species there has been an over-multiplication — as
for instance the splitting up of such a natural group as the
pines into several genera, yet at the time of the preparation
of this Flora the only convenient guide was Rydberg's work.
It is to Professor T. D. A. Cockerell of the University of
Colorado to whom I am most indebted for assistance in this
work. Remote both from the vegetation itself and from an
PREFACE Xlll
adequate library, I could not have carried on the work at all
without his cheerful cooperation. He has examined every
page of the manuscript, and I owe much to his apt suggestions
and kindly criticism. My thanks are also due to Professor
Francis Ramaley for his kindness in examining the proof-
sheets, and to Professor J. Henderson who has perused the
article on the physiography. Both have given me notes of
much value.

INTRODUCTION
I. PHYSIOGRAPHY
Boulder, Colorado, lies nestling close to the Rocky Moun-
tains just north of the 40th parallel. There the foot-
hills are strikingly beautiful and high, and only twenty miles
away Arapahoe Peak, clasping to its bosom the best glacier
of the southern Rockies, gleams whitely in full view, while
twenty- four miles to the northwest towers jaggedly Long's
Peak, 14,271 ft. high, the highest point in Boulder County, and
one of the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Away to
the eastward the plain stretches unbrokenly, save for an oc-
casional butte, till lost to vision. There is then room for a
great diversity of vegetation, ranging from the semi-desert
plants of the arid plains to the arctic plants that grow at the
wasting edge of the perpetual snow.
The Continental Divide, which, due west of Boulder,
touches its easternmost point in North America, is only from
twenty to twenty-four miles away. It rises as a vast snow-
covered wall of rock to an average height of from 11,000 to
12,000 feet; the highest points in the Divide in this region
are Long's Peak, 14,271 ft., Mt. Audubon, 13,173 ft., Mt.
Baldy, 11,470 ft., Arapahoe Peak, 13,520 ft., and James'
Peak, 13,283 ft. Due west of Boulder Arapahoe Pass
crosses the Divide at an altitude of 12,000 feet. It
will be seen, therefore, that there is an almost impassable
barrier between the vegetation of the Pacific slope and that of
149] I
2 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [ 1 50
the Atlantic. Since this barrier is ahnost everywhere above
timberhne, only a few Pacific species are found on the Atlantic
side of the slope within the region about Boulder. Perhaps
the most interesting exception is the occurrence of one of the
orchids, Piperia Unalaschcnsis (Spreng.) Rydb., a few indi-
viduals of which I found in the foot-hills near Boulder, and
which is not known to occur elsewhere east of the mountains
of Utah, it having its main range from Alaska to California.
All the streams of Boulder County flow ultimately into the
South Fork of the Platte river, and thence into the Missouri
and the Mississippi. Boulder creek, the chief stream of the
region, and one of the headwaters of the Platte, is fed from the
snows of the Divide, especially between Arapahoe and James'
Peaks. Just over the other side of the Divide are some of the
headwaters of Grand river, which flows into the Colorado,
and thence into the Gulf of California.
All the main streams in Boulder County have their sources
in the wasting snows of the Main Range. These have cut gor-
ges, in most cases over a thousand feet deep, into the elevated
plateau between the main range and the foot-hills proper, and
by means of these deep valleys have transformed this plateau
into what are now really mountain masses, having an average
altitude of about 8,000 feet, the eastern and western slopes of
which are long longitudinal valleys, and the northern and
southern ones the precipitous gorges cut by the streams. Be-
tween Boulder and the Main Range there are about four of
these mountain ridges, the first, or that of the foot-hills proper,
rising to a height of from 7,000 to 8,600 feet, the others slightly
lower, having an altitude of about 7,500 to 8,000 feet. Among
these Sugarloaf Mountain stands out prominently as an
isolated peak a thousand feet higher, it being a por-
151] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 3
phyry dike, and thus weathering more slowly than the
granitic peaks. This whole elevated plateau, cut by
streams into what now appear as definite mountain
ridges, we shall call the foot-hills, although the foot-hills
proper are the ridges of sandstone at the edge of this granite
plateau. The flora, however, is the same, save for
a few ferns and other rock-plants which are confined to cer-
tain kinds of rocks, some to the limestones, others to the sand-
stones, still others to the granite.
The main range of mountains as well as the high plateau
at its base is composed of granite, granite-porphyry, and
granite-gneiss, gray or reddish in color. Dikes are frequent,
either of pegmatite or of felsitic porphyry. When the uplift
or uplifts occurred, which made the Rocky Mountains, the
sedimentary rocks resting upon the basement of granite, were
tilted untilthey stood nearly on end. The jagged crags of the
foot-hills proper are, then, the ends of these sedimentary layers.
Thus it happens, too, that the oldest beds lie next the granite,
while the younger underlie the plains.
The oldest and lowest, that is, the one lying directly upon,
or rather against the granite, is a layer of quartzite 550 feet
thick, and of Algonkin age. This, however, is absent in front
of Boulder and occurs in but two places in the county.
The next, and of Pennsylvanian (Carboniferous) age,
is the red Fountain sandstone, 500 to 1,500 feet thick.
In the immediate vicinity of Boulder it lies directly
upon the granite. On the east slope of Green Moun-
tain it hangs in five triangular blocks of about 500 feet
in thickness at an angle of about 52 °. These, called the
Flat-irons, are each about 1,000 feet high and about 1,500
feet wide; the third Flat-iron, however, rises to an altitude
of nearly 8,000 feet, or about 2,000 feet above the mesa. At
4 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [152
Boulder Canon the red sandstone walls are vertical. These
perpendicular sandstone crags are the most striking feature
of the scenery of the foot-hills.
Lying next to the Fountain sandstone, and also of Pennsyl-
vanian age, is the creamy Lyons sandstone, which is quarried
in large amounts. It has a maximum thickness of almost 300
feet.
Next in order, and still of Pennsylvanian age, is the Lykins
formation, about 800 feet thick and consisting of sandstones,
sandy shales, and a little limestone. It is easily weathered and
is consequently thickly covered with waste.
The Morrison formation occurs next, and consists of sand-
stone, clays, and limestone, and is a little less than 600 feet
thick. It is of Jurassic age.
Then come various Cretaceous beds, the first of which,
the "Dakota," is a firm sandstone of about 350 feet in thickness.
Its resistance to weathering causes the characteristic hogback
of the foot-hills, consisting of one, two, or even three distinct
combs, or crags. .
Then follow in succession the Benton shales, 500 feet
thick ; the Niobrara shales and limestones, 400 feet thick ; the
Pierre shales, 5,000 feet thick; the Fox Hills shales, 1,300 feet
thick; and the Laramie beds, which are coal-bearing and about
115 feet thick. Lastly are the Quaternary deposits of allu-
vium and terrace gravels. The various shales have weathered
and eroded rapidly and underlie the plain, while the more
resistant beds next the granite persist as crags, while the high
mesas at the base of the foot-hills are shale outliers left by
stream-erosion and are really stream terraces.
The soil of the region, outside of the alluvium and ter-
race gravels, is granitic in the mountains, while in the foot-
hills it is apt to be brick-red from the detritus of the red
153] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 5
sandstones. The soft Lykins formation yields a very red soil.
The Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks have layers of sand and
clay.
II. CLIMATE AND RAINFALL*
The climate of Boulder, however enjoyable it may be to
human beings, can hardly be said to be highly favorable to
plant-life. At least this is true of the foot-hills, the mesas,
and the plains. The Alain Range, however, is well watered,
but here the high elevation and the low temperature repress
plant-life. The montane and subalpine slopes have a dense vege-
tation, and yet even here the shallow soil and the rapid run-ofif
of the water cause portions of them to have the aspect of
deserts. A subalpine meadow has an opulent luxuriance ; an
adjoining slope may be gray with sage brush. In part the ap-
parent thinness of vegetation in the mountains may be due to
the superabundance of naked rock. In many portions of the
Rockies the greater part of the surface has no soil whatever,
and only a cranny-and-crevice vegetation is possible. The
Rocky Mountains are new; their rocks are sharp and jagged;
even lichens are rare on their surfaces. About Eldora and
Arapahoe Peak, however, the rocks are beautifully rounded
by glacial action.
In the summer of 1906 there were rains almost daily, many
of them soaking rains, but their distribution was uneven and
capricious. In general the rainfall decreases as the distance
from the snowy range increases. The alpine and subalpine
*For the climatology of the region, consult the article by Professor
Ramaley on the Climatology of the Mesas near Boulder, Univ. of Colo.
Studies, 6, 19-35, also, the paper by Ramaley and Robbins on Redrock
lake near Ward, Univ. of Colo. Studies, 6, 13S-147.
6 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [154
regions receive most ; the foot-hills less ; the mesas receive
some from every shower; the plains for five or six miles get
a portion of the larger showers ; but beyond that for several
hundred miles good rains are very few. The summer
of 1906 was exceptional,* for even the plains about Boulder
seemed to receive more water than do many parts of the
eastern United States in midsummer. When I left Boulder
the third of September, the native vegetation for five or six
miles out on the plain was as green as a prevailingly gray
vegetation well can be; there was no sign of drouth^ while
when I reached Missouri and Iowa, the pastures were parched.
In fact what I shall remember most about Colorado is its
exuberance of water. It courses down all the mountain
caiions, roaring and bubbling and dashing into foam. Springs
are frequent and of a pureness and coolness that make them
perfect. On the plains everywhere that one goes, a ditch full
to the brim runs beside one. From the top of Green Mountain
a hundred lakes may be seen gleaming on the plain. It is
plainly a land of abundant rain and water.
And yet why this feverish haste to irrigate the fields, why
these ditches, these sluices, these storage-reservoirs? Why
is land with a water-right worth several hundred dollars an
acre, and land without one but five dollars? And why, to ask
a still deeper question, why does nearly every kind of native
plant have some means of conserving water, or some contriv-
ance for preventing too rapid transpiration? Why do desert
plants meet one at every hand: cacti, yuccae, sages, and
xerophytic grasses? No, this region cannot be a land of
abundant rain and water, in spite of the fact that I have never
•In 190C Uie greatest rainfall was recorded (26.17 inches), while 1901
was the driest vear (13.67 inches).
155] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO J
seen so much anywhere else, nor anywhere else have had such
drenchings to the skin. It is a semi-arid land, parched and
thirsty. And the farmer, whom I saw flooding his land the
morning after an all night's pouring rain, knew from long
experience that there could not be too much water. The
rapid drainage, the light dry air, the fierce light of the high
elevation, the hot sun, the soil unfitted for the retention of
water, all these things parch and wither our cultural plants,
for while the native vegetation has organs for storing water
and for diminishing transpiration, the cultivated plants have
none of these. Nevertheless for the native vegetation in
1906 there was ample water-supply; it grew with an almost
incredible luxuriance, so much so that I found the measure-
ments given in the manuals were often valueless for my pur-
pose, as many of my plants were taller and larger than the
books say that they grow. I was told that after the first of
July there would be no botanizing as everything on the plains
and foot-hills would dry up; but I remained till September
first and the plants did not dry up, and I was able to collect
over a thousand species in about two months and a half.
The following table, vi^hich I use by the kind permission of
Professor Ramaley, will furnish the data requisite to an under-
standing of the temperature and rainfall of the region. The
data holds true only for the city of Boulder.

Ill ZONES OF VEGETATION*
There are six great zones of vegetation about Boulder,
which, proceeding from east to west, are : A. The Zone of
*These zones of vegetation are practically those of Robbins (Cli-
matology and Vegetation in Colorado, Bot. Gaz., 49, 256-280), who rec-
ognized (i) plains, (2) eastern lower foothills and mesas, (3) eastern
upper foothills, 6,000 to 8,000 feet, (4) montane zone, (5) subalpine
zone, (6) alpine zone. Professor Ramaley, however, would unite the
mesas and foothills into one zone (Univ. of Colo. Studies, 6, 50-51).
157] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 9
the Plains, CAMPESTRES; B. The Zone of the Mesas,
MENS ALES; C. The Zone of the Foot-hills and Mountain
Plateau, SUBMONTANAE; fourth, The Zone of the Lower
Mountain Slopes, MONT AN AE; fifth, The Zone of the Sub-
alpine Mountain Slopes, SUBALPESTRES; sixth, The
Zone of the Alpine Summits, ALPESTRES. Of these the
Plains Flora, the Foot-hill Flora, the Montane Flora, the Sub-
alpine Flora, and the Alpine Flora are primary, while that of
the Mesas is a transition from the Flora of the Plains to the
Flora of the Foot-hills. The Alpine corresponds to the Arctic
Circumpolar vegetation, the Subalpine to the Hudsonian, the
Montane to the Canadian, the Foot-hill and the Mesa to the
Upper Transition, and that of the Plains to the Lower Transi-
tion with some Upper Sonoran forms.
A. CAMPESTRES
The plains are not so arid about Boulder as they are far-
ther east. In fact after riding for hundreds of miles through
a desert of dried up grass, it is with a feeling of inutterable
joy that one sees this narrow ribbon of green from six to
twelve miles wide at the foot of the mountains. This green-
ness and freshness is due mainly to two causes : First, this
strip receives more rain than does the rest of the Great Plains.
The clouds do not quite rain out before reaching the plains.
These rains are, however, capricious. The clouds are narrow.
The southern part of Boulder may receive a thorough drench-
ing, the northern part may not have a drop. One Sunday
there was a cloud-burst in Sunshine Canon, farms and bridges
were washed away ; from three to five feet of water came dash-
ing through the main street of Boulder, while it scarcely
sprinkled where I was a half mile to the south. The second
cause is the abundant irrigation.
lO UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [158
The Plains Flora falls into five main societies : The
Aquatic (Aquatiles); The Palustrous (Palustres); The Ri-
parian (Ripariae); The Prairie Meadow, the plains flora
proper, (Campanales); and the Alkali Flat (Alkalinae).
a. Aquatiles. The Ac^atic Flora is found in lakes and
streams. It consists of submerged or floating aquatics — pond-
weeds, duckweeds, water-milfoils, hornworts, water starworts,
besides various algae. It is seen best in Owen's lake and
Boulder lake, which while about twenty feet deep, are very
brackish. The slower streams also have aquatic plants, as do
likewise the aqueous nuclei of swamps and swales. The fol-
lowing is a list of typical species :
Potamogeton lonchites L. minor
P. heterophyllus Ceratophyllum demersum
P. foliosus Callitriche palustris
P. pectinatus C. bifida
P. Spirillus Myriophyllum spicatum
Zanichellia palustris Limosella aquatica
Lemna gibba
All the above species occur in the eastern United States.
b. Palustres, The Palustrous, or Swamp Flora is found
in bogs, in swales, along ditches, and about the miry margins
of ponds and lakes and streams. It consists of rushes, bul-
rushes, sedges, swamp grasses, sweet flags, cat-tails, stick-
tights, swamp asters, water peppers, and various other plants.
I have included here the whole subaquatic flora, since the for-
mation is so slight that it is best treated as a whole without
separation into amphibious, limose, paludose, and uliginose
societies. The follovv^ing are characteristic species :

c. Ripariae. The Riparian Flora occurs along the banks
of streams. It consists of trees, shrubs, and herbs. There
are no trees nor shrubs proper on the Great Plains, except
those that grow along the streams. Here occur various cot-
tonwoods, box-elders, and willows. The herbs are partly
marsh herbs and partly plants from the plains, especially
grasses. The following are typical riparian species :
Equisetum laevigatum
Eatonia robusta
Agropyron riparium
Elymus Canadensis
E. robustus
Populus Sargentii

proper to the greater part of the plains region. In aspect it
is a vast meadow, above which now and then a yucca rises with
l6l] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 1 3
its bayonet-like leaves and its large cluster of flowers. But
this aspect changes according to the season of the year, nor
is it uniform at any season. As various plants come into
bloom, so is it tinged red or purple, white or yellow; here it
is an upland meadow of broom-grasses with purplish leaves;
there it is dark green with meadow-grasses ; yonder it is white
and hoar with sages. In early summer it is red, or purple,
or blue with loco-weeds, beard-tongues, and thistles, yellow
with golden asters, orange with cone-flowers and gaillardias,
or white with Mexican poppies. In midsummer the psoraleas
are numerous; here and there are large clumps of lupines; the
tall porcupine grasses abound, and sunflowers rear their heads
of gold. In late summer it is yellow with gumweeds of all
kinds, with golden-rods and rabbit-brushes, or purple with
blazing-stars and turkey-foot grasses. In autumn the gray
sages put forth their inconspicuous flowers, the late composites
ripen their achenes and whiten the landscape with their pappus.
But the chief plants of this formation are those not seen —
the little bufifalo and mesquite grasses only a few inches high,
but forming the turf of these vast plains. There are no shrubs
proper in this flora. At most there are a few undershrubs
and suft'rutescent plants, such as roses, yuccas, and the like.
It should be added that the vegetation of the moister por-
tions of the plains differs, especially in aspect and also some-
what in species, from that of the drier portions; but while it
is possible to distinguish these two elements of the flora in
the extreme cases of moistness and dryness, yet in the greater
part of the area the two vegetations mingle inextricably. I
shall, however, arrange the plants typical of the Great Plains
into two classes, Humidae and Aridae, although the two
-classes occur quite commonly together:

The Flora of the Mesas is a transitional flora ; the mesas
have most of the plants of the plains and in addition many of
the plants of the foot-hills. There are, however, a considerable
number of species, which are peculiar to the mesas. These
mesas are flat tablelands rising abruptly a hundred feet or so
above the plains in successive terraces. The altitude of the
plains in Boulder County is from 5,000 to 5,500 feet. The
lowest mesa, at an altitude of about 5,600 feet, has the
flora of the plains, but at the next mesa, at an altitude of 5,700
feet, the flora begins to change, and from then on to the foot
of the crags, 6,000 feet, the plains plants gradually tend to
disappear and the foot-hill flora to come in. The highest
mesas are so filled with waste from landslips from the crags,
that they may be said to be an integral part of the foot-hills.
And so, too, the streams have made deep canons through the
mesas, the flora of which is not so very unlike that of the
cafions of the foot-hills. West of Marshall there is a high bog
on the mesa, but as its plants differ in no wise from the bog
plants of the plains, it will be dismissed with this notice.
Six plant-societies are to be found upon the mesas : a. The
meadow (Pratenses), which differs little from the plains
meadow, although certain mountain species, such as the Mari-

portance are Yucca glauca and Eriocoma cuspidata.
d. Sylvestres. A good example of the wooded mesa
lies immediately back of the Chautauqua grounds. There the
bull pine has descended from the foot-hills and taken posses-
sion of the mesa. Besides the bull pine, Pinus scopulorum,
the low juniper, Jimiperus Sibirica, is of rare occurrence.
Of herbs the most noteworthy is Arnica pedunculata, which
is frequent under the pines. I found also only there Ccntun-
culus minimus, perhaps the only known station of this plant in
Colorado, since it is not included in Rydberg's Flora of Colo-
rado. It is growing with Linaria Canadensis, which is like-
wise an eastern plant.
e. Arbustales. The brush mesa assumes various forms.
Ordinarily some one species is in control. Occasionally it con-
sists of various haws, as at the entrance of Gregory Cafion,
or of a thicket of juneberries, wax-currants, and skunk-bushes.
South of Bluebell Canon is a mesa covered with the peculiar
mountain mahogany. Wild cherries and plums are frequent,
and the hackberry occasional in these shrubby thickets. The
principal species are :

Of herbs the vetches and vetchlings are the most im-
portant :
Vicia sparsi folia V. producta
V. dissiti folia Lathyrus leucanthus
V. oregana
f. Vallicolae. The mesa caiion has a bewildering di-
versity of floral elements, now consisting of thickets of haws
with extremely vicious thorns, wild briers, the long-beaked
hazel, and dwarf maples, now with a fontinal vegetation
strikingly like our own Carolinian. One little gulch at the
base of Flagstaff Hill has a vegetation composed quite wholly
of eastern plants. Here occur Phragmites Phragmites, Sani-
cula Marilandica^ Steironema ciliatum, Veronica Americana,
Eupatorimn maculatnm, and a form of Apios Apios, the last
of which was not known to occur west of eastern Kansas
previous to this collection. Since the streams have cut deeply
into the surface, the canon of the mesa resembles greatly the
canon of the foot-hills. There are riparian, rupestrine, clivose,
and fontinal elements compressed within the space of a few
feet. Mountain forms follow these streams often for some
distance into the plain. And yet the facies of the flora is dis-
tinctly eastern. Here are haws, hazels, maples, grapes, wild
cherries, willows, cottonwoods, dogwoods, nine-barks. The
herbs, too, have an eastern look — sweet cicelies, false Solo-
mon's seals, water-leafs, fragile ferns, avens, bog-orchids. It
is true that a closer examination reveals the fact that many of
these plants belong to species which are strictly western, yet the
fact remains that there is little in the vegetation that impresses
as strange, one who is familiar only with the eastern flora,
while all about him in plain, mesa, foot-hill, and mountain are
utterly unfamiliar types of vegetation. So in this narrow

The Foot-hill Flora covers not only the true foot-hills of
the sandstone crags, but also the lower part of the mountain
plateau. The flora is rich but monotonous. In most places the
vegetation, is thin; it is mainly a forest, but the trees are
strewn but sparsely over the steep slopes. The amount of
naked rock is very great. The altitude ranges from 5,800 to
8,600 feet. Some of the main streams, such as Boulder creek,
have cut down to about 5,500 feet. Directly west of Boulder,
and lying between Boulder and Gregory Cafions, is Flagstaff
Hill with an altitude of about 6,500 feet. Southwest of Boulder
is Green Mountain, lying between Gregory and Bear Canons
and having an altitude of 8,100 feet. South of Green Moun-
tain is Bear Mountain, which attains a height of 8,600 feet,
and is the loftiest peak in the first range of foot-hills in the
vicinity of Boulder.
The Foot-hill Flora merges rather abruptly into that of the
mesas at the foot of the crags, and melts insensibly into the
Subalpine Flora as it approaches the Main Range. It reaches
its maximum development between an altitude of 6,500 and
24 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [ 172
7,000 feet. Below 6,500 feet there occur still many species be-
longing to the Great Plains ; above 7,000 feet there is a rapid
thinning out of species, and subalpine species become occas-
ional, although it is not rare for such species in cold situations
to go down to the 6,000 foot level. Yet at the summit of
Green Mountain (8,100 feet) I found the flora still consisting in
the main of the genuine foot-hill species. The Foot-hill Flora
may be gathered into four main societies : a. The wooded
slope (Sylvestres). b. The foot-hill meadow (Pratenses).
c. The foot-hill caiion (Vallicolae), d. The crevice and
cranny vegetation of the rocks (Rimosae).
a. Sylvestres.* The wooded slope society consists quite
purely of bull pine and Douglas spruce, with now and then
a few trees of other species of pine, and spruce, and fir. The
trees stand usually at wide intervals, oftenest in rows, where
some fault in the rock enables them to get a secure foothold.
Occasionally on the north slopes, which are moister than any
other, the trees stand in such close formation that it is almost
impossible to make one's way through them. Ordinarily it is
the Douglas spruce that behaves in this way, since the bull
pine prefers a more open formation. Often, two rather dis-
*Young (Bot. Gaz. 44. 321-352) finds the following forest associa-
tions about Boulder: i. Populus occidentalis — Salix fluviatilis, riparian
upon the plains, but extending somewhat up the canons. 2. Populus
angustifolia — Salix Nuttallii, riparian in the foothills. 3. Pinus scopu
lorum, sylvan on the dry slopes of the foothills. 4. Pinus Murrayana,
sylvan on the dry mountain sides. 5. Apinus flexilis, dry mountain
slopes up to timber line. 6. Pseudotsuga — Picea Engelmanni, lower
canons (submontane and montane). 7. Picea Engelmanni — Abies
lasiocarpa, upper canons (high montane and subalpine to timber line).
S. Aspen society, throughout (north slopes at low altitudes, all slopes
higher altitudes).

tinct forms of forest are discernible, the one of bull pine, the
Other of Douglas spruce; at other times the two are mixed.
The Douglas spruce is at its best in moist ravines, and ascends
to timber-line on the mountains, while the bull pine seldom gets

b. Pratenses. The foot-hill meadow is not very unhke
the mesa meadow ; the species are in part the same, but there
is no sharp Hne between the flora of the foot-hill forest and the
foot-hill meadow, on account of the openness of the former.
Only where the forest is dense enough to have a truly sylvan
floor, are the light-loving plants absent. The foot-hill meadow
society includes various grasses and certain herbs, such as
painted-cups, fleabanes, Mariposa lilies, anemones, gaillardias,
and the like. The following are the characteristic grasses and
sedges :

ders, and the like. About springs and along small rills is
found a brief fontinal vegetation, the most delicate of all the
plant-groups — mosses, liverworts, ferns, tway-blades, adder's-
mouths, twisted-stalks, mountain lilies, shooting stars, cresses,
sedges, and bog-orchids. The foot-hill canon flora differs from
28

the mesa canon principally in the absence of the chaparral ele-
ment, the haws and wild plums being absent. Most of the re-
maining shrubs and arborescent plants are identical — the

rocks consists of hchens, rupestrine ferns, ahim roots, orpines,
selaginellas, and many shrubs, such as the Jamesia, the wax-
currant, juneberries, flowering raspberries, sahnonberries,
roses, and gooseberries. The Rocky Mountain red cedar
stands often in grotesquely gnarled and twisted forms at
the verges of the crags. It mav be remarked that this flora
is of prime importance, since so large a portion of the region
consists of naked rock. In fact the foot-hill flora in general
is more or less rupestrine in character. There is gathered here
only the strictly rock-loving vegetation. These are typical

D. MONTANAE
The Montane Flora begins at about the 8,000 foot level,
though, as we have seen, on the isolated peaks of the first
range of foot-hills the Foot-hill Flora still largely persists even
to the summits, or some 600 feet higher. The Montane Flora
extends upward to the approximate altitude of 10,000 feet.
It is for the most part a forest of lodgepole pine. The zone
includes the slopes of the main range below 10,000 feet, and
also the higher portions of the adjacent mountain plateau.
Some of its characteristic species, indeed, tend to spread
throughout the mountain plateau, and in cold valleys may
even go as low as 6,000 feet. The montane as also the
subalpine slopes have abundant rainfall, showers occur-
ring nearly every afternoon. At least this was true of the sum-
mer of 1906. The ground is often boggy and springy, and
cold with snow water. On north and east slopes the snow
remains in the higher and deeper valleys till midsummer;

hence the flowering season is short. In a period of about six
weeks, from the middle of July to the first of September, the
main part of the vegetation in these cool valleys is brought to
perfection. Species, which on the mesas had bloomed before
my arrival on the eighteenth of June, I found just in blossom
at Eldora on the mountainsides August thirty-first.
I saw too little of the Montane Flora, since I spent only
six days in collections, where it occurs, to be able to separate
it definitely into plant-societies. But the chief types as I saw it
at Ward, Eldora, and Glacier lake, will be briefly described.
In the Montane Subzone there are, perhaps, six tolerably
distinct types of vegetation-association: a. The montane
forest (Sylvales). b. The montane bog (Paludosae). c.
The montane lake (Lacustres). d. The arid brush slope
(Arbustales). e. The montane meadow (Pratenses). f.
The montane stream (Amnicolae).
a. Sylvales. The montane sylva consists of a close for-
est of lodgepole pine interspersed with some bull pine and
Rocky Mountain white pine, as well as with the various
spruces and firs. The spruces and firs occur principally in the
valleys, while on the barren ridges, the pines assume a scrub-
like form. On these ridges occur many peculiar species of
dwarf herbs — golden rods, asters, fleabanes, cat's-feet, actin-
ellas, groundsels. A few of the more characteristic species of
the montane sylva are the following :
Pinus scopulorum Pseudotsuga mucronata
P. Murrayana Abies lasiocarpa
Apinus flexilis Calamagrostis purpurascens
Picea Engelmanni Trisetum subspicatum
P. Parryana Avena striata

The aspen, however, is not confined to the bogs, but forms
groves in sHght depressions throughout the mountains, and oc-
curs on Green Mountain not much, if any, above 6,000 feet.
The aspen occurs in the drier portions of the bogs along with
other uHginose plants. The bog vegetation is very rich in
species. A fine specimen of the montane bog is found just
west of Eldora at an elevation of 8,600 feet. The following
are characteristic species :

ing bur-reed, Sparganiwn angustifolium, the white water-
crowfoot, Batrachium flaccidum, and the aquatic mudwort,
Limosella aquatica. The yellow pond-lily, Nyniphaea poly-
sepala, grows also in some of these high lakes.
d. Arbustales. The arid brush slope vegetation consists
quite wholly of the true sage-brush, Artemisia tridentata. This
community is rare in the region, and I have seen it only be-
tween Glacier lake and Eldora near Bluebird mine.
e. Pratenses. The montane meadow is truly a paradise
of flowers. It is not uncommon to see acre upon acre of
meadow glorious with purple and blue and red and yellow and
white and scarlet. Never have I seen flowers anywhere else
in such profusion nor with such gorgeous hues — monkshoods,
larkspurs, louseworts, milk-vetches, locoweeds, squawweeds,
death-camasses, grasses, rushes, sedges, and blue-eyed grasses.
The following species are typical :

able to give an adequate account of it. I, however, noted the

anstromontane saxifrage, Leptasea austromontana, and the
glandular phacelia, PhaccUa glandulosa. There is also a brief
campestrian vegetation about Eldora, reproducing, in other
species, the facies of the Great Plains, Campestres;
I may instance as species : Grindelia snhalpina, G. Eldorae,
Chrysothauinus Parryi, and C. elegans.
f. Amnicolae. The montane stream vegetation is seen
at its best about small rills. Along the larger streams it as-
sumes a typical riparian aspect, much like tb.at of the canon
society of the foot-hills along the large streams. Since the
water in these streams is very cold inasmuch as they are fed
from the wasting snows of the alpine valleys, the montane
vegetation can scarcely be distinguished from the true sub-
alpine vegetation of the streams. The list of species will,
therefore, be deferred until tb.e subalpine stream vegetation
is reached.
E. SUBALPESTRES
The Subalpine zone extends from about the loooo foot
level to timberline, and hence coincides with the upper slopes
of the Main Range. It is in the main a forest of Engelmann
spruce, with occasional high meadows and bogs. Lakes, too,
are numerous.
I have personal knowledge of only two formations : a.
The subalpine forest (Sylvales). b. The subalpine stream
(Amnicolae).
a. Ses. Ival. The subalpine forest consists mainly of
Engelmann spruce, Picea Engelmanni, and balsam ^r, Abies
lasiocarpa. I have but a very slight knowledge of the herbs
characterizing this formation, but I noticed along the Arapahoe
Trail the following species, which I had not seen in the mon-
i85]

tane forest : Eriogonmn subalpinum, Arnica Parr\i, and Sene-
cio atratus. A large number of the montane sylvan species
were observed.
b. Amnicolae. The subalpine stream vegetation is very
luxuriant. It has on the one hand a very close affinity with
the montane stream vegetation, and on the other with that of
the wet alpine tundra. Not only does the snow linger late in
these high valleys, the water of the streams is also very cold.
In the list that follows the montane species are included as
well :

I am almost wholly unacquainted with the remaining sub-

trine, the subalpine summit and high ridge floras. I saw a
38 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [186
little of these at Ward and on the high slopes above Bloomer-
ville, and on Arapahoe Peak just below timberline, but I am
unable to give any clear account of the vegetation.*
F. ALPESTRESt
Between ii,ooo and 12,000 feet tree-growth ceases ab-
ruptly. The spruces and firs bend and hug the ground. The
willows branch and fork underground and rise to the height
of but a few inches. The precise altitude of the timberline
depends somewhat on the exposure, and differs, therefore,
from peak to peak, but 11,500 feet is, perhaps, on an average
the lower limit of the alpine zone. I am acquainted with this
zone only on Arapahoe Peak, where I spent one day, Septem-
ber first, and collected some no species, most of them above
timberline. The total number of species knov/n to reach an
altitude of 12,000 feet, or above, in Colorado is 386.*
The alpine flora may be conveniently gathered into two
societies: a. The wet alpine tundra (Tundrales). b. The
dry rock-desert (Alpinae) of the summits.
a. Tundrales. The wet tundra occupies the region of
cold water-soaked soil. The water from the wasting snows
collects in depressions, streams are formed, and along these the
*I refer the reader to the excellent paper on Redrock lake near
Ward, by Ramaley and Robbins (Univ. of Colo. Studies, 6, 133-168).
fConsult for the Alpine Flora Cooper's Alpine vegetation in the vi-
cinity of Long's Peak, Colorado (Bot. Gaz., 45, 319-337)- He recog-
nizes three plant formations: I. The dry meadow. 2. The wet mead-
ow. 3. The Krummholtz. The latter, while striking enough, is rather
but the upper level of the spruce forest, striving to persist in Alpine con-
ditions.
JFor a list of these see the article by Cockerell on the Alpine Flora
of Colorado (Am. Nat., 40, 86-873).

vegetation clings. Often the streams flow concealed under the
dwarf spruces and firs, their existence there being known
only by their roaring underneath. Parry's primrose, saxi-
frages, globeflowers, white cowslips, gentians, red elephants,
several sedges, grasses, and rushes are examples of the wet
tundra vegetation. The Krummholtz of spruce and fir at the
timberline consists chiefly of Engelmann spruce, Picea Engel-
manni, and balsam fir, Abies lasiocarpa. The wet tundra con-
tinues down to the lower edge of the alpine zone, whence it de-
scends and coalesces with the subalpine stream vegetation.
The following are characteristic species :

b. Alpinae. The dry rock-desert lies mingled with or
above the wet tundra and extends to the summit, wherever there
is soil not covered with snow. The vegetation suffers from ex-
treme exposure, and grows close to the ground, seldom, unless
sheltered by rocks, rising more than an inch or two in height.
In sheltered places under rocks, even at this extreme altitude,
I found several beautiful clusters of the blue columbine, the
state flower of Colorado, with stems twelve to eighteen inches
high, and with blossoms two inches across. The wooly-headed
thistle, too, was found of the same height. But in general
the vegetation is much dwarfed. Next to the wet tundra the
Krummholtz of spruce and fir still persists, under which I
detected some fine specimens of club-moss ; but farther up
there is no shrubby vegetation except the underground wil-
lows. The vegetation grows in little rounded tussocks, and
consists of the alpine catch-fly, rock-primrose scarcely half
an inch high, sibbaldia, dryas, alpine clovers, dwarf sedges,
grasses, and rushes, and, last of all, the little yellow saxi-
frages and the snowflowers, which are often blossoming at the
snow-line. Now and then on the high exposed ridges the
beautiful rydbergia rises five or six inches above the mountain
turf, its stems and leaves and large yellow flowers swathed
in dense wool. For what must be the tribulations of this

alpine vegetation at the line of perpetual snow, with the alter-
nate freezing by night and thawing by day, with the keen light,
and bleak winds, and the fierce fury of the storms? And yet
the alpine flora is exquisitely beautiful. It shares the fascina-
tion of its sublime mountain home, to which it lends the only
touch of delicate grace. I append a list of alpine summit

IV. SPECIAL CLASSES OF PLANTS
Independent of the five great zones of vegetation are two
special classes of plants : A. The saprophytic and parasi-
tic plants (SAPROPHYTICALES ET PARASITI-
CALES). B. The plants which largely owe their presence to
human agency (ANTHROPOPHYTICALES). These
consist of the various cultural plants, of weeds, and of es-
capes.
A. SAPROPHYTICALES ET PARASITICALES
Besides the saprophytic and parasitic fungi there are a
few phanerogams, which are destitute of chlorophyl and are
true saprophytes or parasites. The following are known to
occur in the region :
Corallorrhiza Corallorrhiza (saprophytic in rich soil)
C. multiflora (saprophytic in rich soil)
Razoumofskya Americana (parasitic on lodgepole pine)
R. cryptopoda (parasitic on bull pine)
Pterospora Andromedea (parasitic on the roots of bull
pine)
Cuscuta curta (parasitic on Iva xanthifolia and other
coarse herbs)
C. indecora (parasitic on Thennopsis pinetorum and other
legumes)
Thalesia fasciculata (parasitic on Artemisia frigida and
other Composites)
There are also a few root-parasites with green foliage,
notably Comandra pallida, Gerardia Besseyana, and the Cas-
tillejas.
B. ANTHBOPOPHYTICALES
Only three kinds of anthropophytic plants need concern
us here: a. Forage plants (Faenales), which have become
44
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
[192
thoroughly naturalized, b. Weeds (Ruderales). c. Cul-
tural and ornamental plants that have escaped (Fugitivae).
a. Faenales. Most of the common forage grasses and
clovers have become thoroughly established about Boulder.
I have noted the following:
Phleum pratense
Agrostis alba
Dactylis glomerata
Poa pratensis
P. compressa
P. trivialis
Festuca elatior
Lolium Italicum
Tri folium pratense
T. repens
T. hybridura
Medica sativa
b. Ruderales. In the appended list of weeds only those
that have been introduced from elsewhere, or^ if native, are
also common weeds in many parts of the United States, have
been included. However, many native species, such as the
various gum-weeds and spurges, must often be bad weeds in
cultivated grounds. But to do justice to the ruderal aspects
of the native flora would require much special study, such as
one is unable to make in the course of a few weeks, and es-
pecially one who is unfamiliar with agriculture as carried on
in Colorado. I noted the following weeds :
Syntherisma sanguinale B. secalinus
Panicum capillare
Echinochloa Crus-galli
Chaetochloa glauca
C. viridis

APPENDIX A.
Tidestrom in the Am. Midi. Nat. 2, 35, has described as a new
species this aspen under the name of P. aurea Tidestrom, with
the remark that it forms forests throughout Colorado, Utah, and
adjoining territory. But the differences relied upon to separate it
from Michaux's species seem to me to be at most varietal, and
hence I prefer to call the Colorado tree P. tremuloides aurea (Tide-
strom) Daniels. See page 98.
