‘Washington, D. C., June 8, 1874.

Str: I have the honor to forward herewith reports upon portions of
the botanical collections made in the years 1871, 1872, and 1873, by Mr.
Sereno Watson, and Dr. J. T. Rothrock, acting assistant surgeon United
States Army, and suggest the propriety of their separate publication.

The manuscript material already gathered for the natural-history
volume of the survey reports is so voluminous that the parts referring
alone to the collections of animals, birds, insects, &c., will occupy more
than 400 quarto pages.

The interest evinced by the numerous requests received for the re-
ports upon the various subjects intrusted to the survey for examination
leads to this request.

Very respectfully, your obedient gh

THALICTRUM OCCIDENTALE, Gray (?), Proc. Amer. Acad. 8. 372. “Stam-
inate specimens were collected in the Wahsatch Mountains near Provo
City that may belong to this species. The foliage and habit are the
same as in the Oregon plants; panicle leafy ; anthers long-mucron-
ate, asiv 7. Fendleri.

RANUNCULUS ANDERSONH, Gray. Belmont, Nevada.

RANUNCULUS CYMBALARIA, Pursh. ah.

AQUILEGIA CANADENSIS, L. In the Southern Wahsatch. With the
short sepals of the eastern plant and with much more dissected and
smaller leaflets than the next.

AQUILEGIA FORMOSA, Fisch. (A. Canadensis, var. formosa, Torr.) Dis-
tinguishable from the last by its elongated sepals, nearly or quite
equaling the spurs, and by its stouter habit, growing only on stream-
banks in the mountains and flowering from July to September. Ne-
vada and Utah; ranging from the Rocky Mountains to Oregon and
Sitka, but not found in California.

AQUILEGIA CAIRULEA, James. Near Provo City, Utah. <A reduced
form of this species, with bright blue flowers, was collected at Kanab
in Southern Utah, by Mrs. kK. P. Thompson, in 1872. It has also
‘recently been found i in the Sierras near Mount Whitney.

AQUILEGIA CHRYSANTHA, Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. 8. 621. This plant
differs from A. sence in its pure yellow flowers with narrower
in its stouter and more branched habit, and in its much longer con-
tinuance in flower, blooming ~~ until September. Arizona. =~

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10, 1874.

Sm: I have the honor to transmit herewith my report on the botan-
ical results of the field-season of 1873 in Central Colorado. The party
of your command under which this collection was made was in ohne
of Lieut. Wm. L. Marshall, Corps of Engineers. The plants collected
in Arizona and New Mexico w es a enumerated and commented upon
at the close of the present se

It could hardly be expected that ‘the Colorado collection should con-
tain many new species, as the ground had been already so poe
botanized over by Parry, Hall, Harbour, Vasey, Porter, Canby
others. , The collection, however, is large and valuable, and not eatinens
devoid of novelties.

names of several of our most eminent botanists appear over the
orders, the a ae of which they have been kind enough to
esides this, ave received valued assistance from the
same gentlemen, of anh a character that I could not well specifically
allude to it at each instance, and I would here state that especial thanks
are due to Prof. Asa Gray, Mr. Sereno Watson, Prof. D. C. Eaton, Mr.
Thomas P. James, Dr. George bose Dr. George Thurber, and Mr. Jo-
siah Hoopes, for their generous a

I have elsewhere alluded to ie activity of Professor Wolf in the
labor of collecting.

It is also a pleasant duty to say that, but for the interest manifested
by Lieut. Wm. L. Marshall in the work, so fine a collection could not
have been made.

1 have the honor to be, respectfully, your obedient servant,

PRELIMINARY. REPORT ON THE BOTANY OF CENTRAL COLO-

Leaving Denver June 12, 187 ri a few of the plants of the plains bor-
dering the foot-hills had already passed the proper period for collecting.
On all sides of us, however, were enough just ready to burst into bloom
to suggest abundant work for the indefatigable botanist of the party,
Prof. John Wolf. Just here 1 would remark that it is thought there were
but few plants in proper condition to collect that escaped his observa-
tion, and the good state of preservation in which the botanical stores
reached Washington is due entirely to the unusual care he bestowed
upon them.

ains may be considered as clearly defined at Apex. After leaving this
place, we began the ascent of the foot-hills, which in their estimated

m
from Central Europe to the heart of our continent, being the equivalent
of nearly 17° of latitude, going north from our starting-poiut. From
some collateral evidence I am led to think the estimate is not far from
correct.

During the latter part of June and most of July the botanist was
busily engaged in South Park, having there the flat portion of the park,

from the plains, this portion of the park in some respects represented
ills.

p
9,300 feet above the sea. From this height up to almost 14,000 feet the
botanist could range through successive alpine zones of vegetation in
a single day.

July 22, we left South Park, and on the 23d crossed Mosquito Pass,
thus allowing the observations taken on the Argentine Pass to be
repeated a month and a half later in the season.

July 24, we camped at Twin Lakes, the altitude of which is about
9,400 feet. This was a specially fortunate center for botanical investi-
gation, allowing the quiet water on thelake-shore, the mountain-streams
pouring into the lake, the barren stretches of open ground along the
Arkansas, and the mountains to the west of camp, all to be readily
reached. The deep, shaded ravines, filled with moisture from the
streams, which rushed with headlong speed from precipice into chasm,
were favorite retreats for the mosses and well repaid the investigation

24

of Professor Wolf. There was a whole group of plants, indeed, which
we found nowhere else. Among them were Primula Parryi, Saxifraga
estivalis, Moneses uniflora, and Adoxa Moschatellina. ;

n September this camp was broken up and the party moved to the
San Luis Valley, via the valley of the Upper Arkansas and Poncho
Pass. Though late in the season, a fair number of plants not hitherto
found by us were collected.

mained several weeks in the valley, adding largely to the col-
lection, and toward the last of September started for Loma, on the head-
waters of the Rio Grande. Owing to the lateness of the season, but
few plants were obtained here. Among them were some novelties to
the collection. I would especially name Loma as a point worthy of fur-
ther botanical work. At this place plant-collecting was abandoned for
the season.

FLORA OF THE OPEN GROUND.

plains, which has not escaped the notice of casual observers. The
hoary, dry, stunted plants, with the great preponderance of yellow and
red flowers, when compared with the more living aspect of the mount-
ain-flora, actually compels a contrast in the mind.
0 what is this difference due? Meteorological statistics from Colo-
rado are as yet meager in the extreme. Up to 1872 from only three
ints did we have observations for a period of over one year. Such
at least is the showing of Mr. Schott’s “ Tables and results of the pre-
cipitation in rain and snow in the United States,” and neither of these
points was fairly within the grasp of the mountains, so that any com-
parison must be somewhat lame. If, however, we sum up, and average

é taken as an approximate: estimate for the more open country just
east of the main divide, beiug probably greater than the fall farther
east, and certainly less than that west.

ompare this with 39.87 inches, which is the mean precipitation for a
series of years in West Virginia. This State is selected because it has
some points of similarity to Central Colorado, and because its precipi-

is far from excessive. The difference is so great as to suggest

_ ated back into space at night. I cannot better illustrate the full import
_ of this fact than by a quotation at second hand from Tyndall : “Aqueous

net ee to man. Remove for a single summer-night the aqueous
vapor from the air which pediabooads ‘this co ountry, ‘and every plant

The warmth of our fields and gardens would pour itself unrequited

hak being the climatic conditions, somewhat, of the soe
dur sce ‘the growing ‘period of the year, it does not seem strange that t
portion of the flora should be as peculiar. The diurnal range of ie
perature during the summer-months is at times immense. In South

ile, more dwarfed, more villous, and oa Perce tissues than those of
m

of water in their tissues, retaining that which they possess under the
double guard of villosity and contraction. I am aware that Mr. Wat-
son, in his most valuable report on the Botany of the Fortieth Parallel,
is prepared to admit a large evaporation from the more succulent por-
tions of t a
mo natonoua character of the flora of the driér Aiceage does, in

some measure, disappear, when, on examination of these plants, so
uniform in general appearance, we find a large number of genera and
species differing from one another by the small amounts compatible ee
their surroundings. This (the surroundings) in part at eu Haas

At Twin Lakes the timber begins at about 9,500 feet. In the San Luis
Valley it is much lower, about 6,500 feet above the sea. Here, owever,
the lowland coniferous growth is made up entirely of Pinus monophyl-
lus * and Juniperus Virginiana.

It seems that where the hills begin fairly, they have been seized at
once by some tree. Cottonwood-trees appear both on the plains and

e tree
remains at intevals, these disappearing, and then only the half-decayed

the young trees out. A notable example of this was seen in one portion
of the foot-hills, where a whole forest of Pinus monophyllus lay prostrate,

N-
is is especially marked at the lowest limit of the trees. Per-
haps mere “ rotation of crop” may serve to explain the change.

The timber-belt ends at about the greatest center of development of
the nutritious bunch-grasses, though these do extend in magnificent

In this belt (from 9,500 to 10,500 feet) Berberis aquifolium formed a
lly in the more open woods.
The herbaceous vegetation of the same zone is well represented by Cas-
tilleja pallida, Parnassia parviflora, Pedicularis Grenlandica, Habenaria
dilatata, Polygonum bistorta, Trifolium dasyphyllum, Senecio triangularis,
Gentiana detonsa and acuta, with several species of Pentstemon.
From 10,500 feet to timber-line, (approximate estimate, 11,500 feet,) a
change more or less marked occurs in the vegetation. This zone em-

mountain-strea
flora should be found here. Pinus flexilis, continuing over from the lower

orm rbaceous

vegetation is represented by Primula Parryi, Adoxa Moschatellina, Trol-
lius laxus, var. albiflorus, Caltha leptosepala, and Trifolium Parryi ; the
first four finding in the cold streams and snow-fed bogs most congenial
jomes. '
At timber-line a most complete change comes over the landscape and
with it over the flora. Pinus Balfouriana, after becoming more and

full force upon the tree, it lies prostrate, with the top always pointing
eastward, and having just enough of leaves, often, on its stunted branches

Pinus contorta, Dougl.—(“‘ Twisted-branched Pine;” “Red Pine.”)—
This tree grows 40 feet high and has a diameter of about a foot; wood

is coarse-grained. Where nothing better offers, it may be sawed into
ards. © -
‘Pinus flevilis, James.—(“American Cembran Pine.”)}—Attains in Cen-

28

tral Colorado a height of 50 feet in its best situations, with a diameter

of a foot and a half. The shape and color of the cones as well as the

pliable character and white wood of the young shoots are, as Dr. Parry

has already noted, strikingly suggestive of the White Pine of the East.

inus ponderosa, Dougl.— West.)—This is the
largest and most valuable of the trees in the region surveyed during
the past season. It makes the best lumber the country affords, and,
besides, is quite abundant, though this fact will probably be the reason
why it will be the first to be extirpated before the growing needs of an
Increasing population. In the valley of the Conejos River it was found
growing 60 to 70 feet high, with a diameter of hearly a yard.

Abies Douglasii, Lind|.—Tree 60 to 90 feet high, though becoming
much smaller as it ascends the mountain-sides. As a timber it is only
middling in quality. It does well for beams, &c. It becomes much
larger and more valuable on our northwest coast and has fewer knots
than on the Rocky Montain ranges. It is known according to Mr, Wat-
Son in the Uintah Mountains as “ Bear River or Swamp Pine.”

Abies Menziesii, Lindl.—This tree attains an average height of from
50 to 60 feet. Timber hard and coarse-grained, but is serviceable for
rough work.

It may be well to remark that, on almost any if not all of the ranches

increasing toward the south. Grasses and sedges suitable for grazing
purposes flourish in greater or less abundance, especially as the foot-

between the two classes of herdsmen. An equitable division of the
public lands would be to confine the Sheep to the region of the shorter
grasses, and giving cattle and horses the range of the taller bunch-
grass. Of course, when the land was definitely settled, surveyed, and
paid for, the proprietor would consult his own individual interest.
Along our route the possibilities of agriculture died out as ‘we ap-
proached Georgetown, though here and there an acre under cultivation
showed that the farmer must have received some return for his labor.
The valleys still furnished a fair quantity and quality of bunch-grass.
We leave the country between Georgetown and South Park ont of
the question for ‘agricultural purposes. There were, as usual, some

main valley at right angles all produced abundance of bunch-grass,
though not so luxuriantly as South Park. In crossing into this valley
from South Park, we had made adescent of some 400 feet, and found as

ew large enough to be eaten before the early frosts destroyed the tops.
It is not improbable that some of the hardier grains might be raised at
this point. By September, the yellow leaves on the cottonwood-trees

along the mountain-slopes indicated plainly enough that we had reached
the limit of the “ growing-season” there.
_ _ Reports reached us of fertile valleys with abundant pasturage west of
Twin Lakes.
The first fairly good farm we saw after leaving Denver was that of

belt of fertile land that the ranches were often over a mile long, and
hence, to include the legal one hundred and sixty acres, could not have
been wide at any point.

Following down this valley, we saw the first flouring-mill at Chalk
Creek. It was probably the best indication that we were not far from
the northern limit of successful cultivation of the ordinary cereals.

Leaving the Arkansas Valley at McPherson’s ranch, we crossed the.

Saguache Mountains via the Poncho Pass, which is reported as 8,600
feet high. It is probably somewhat over this estimate, though still far
below timber-line. South of us lay San Luis Valley, concerning the
agricultural value of which there are so many contradictory reports.

in their disparagement of it. It may he premised that snow seldom

M. Srpirica , Don. Sixteen inches high, leaves all ovate- -lanceolate ;
a. with petioles two inches long; stem-leaves with petioles one

neh long, and upper ones sessile; calyx-lobes obtuse, one-third as
ae as the corolla-tube. (709b.)

M. PANICULATA, Don. These specimens evidently were an nocuionte
species ; doubtless intended for a good M. Sibirica (in the immedi-
ate company of which they were growing). A deep oye caused
them to lengthen out, in search of sunlight, into the real paniculate
form; to which I add, Vidi vivam spontaneam. 09.) The well-
marked M. brevistyla, S. Watson, does not appear in this collection,
which is remarkable.

T. WoLFH, x. sp. Apparently cespitose, and from a running root-stock ;
culms erect, 1 to 1 t high, smooth; culm-leaves short, 2 to 4
inches; lower leaves and sheaths somewhat scabrous; ligule lacerate ;
flowers in an upright, close panicle, which is 2 to 4 inches long, 1 to 2
rays at each joint; spikelets lanceolate, 2-flowered, and with a rudi-
mentor continuation of the rachis half as long as the uppor flower ;
the rachis and rudiment villous hairy; glumes lanceolate, membra-
naceous, acuminate, equaling the flowers, which have a few hairs at
the base; lower palet lanceolate, acuminate, slightly split or 2-
toothed at the apex, obscurely 5-nerved, bearing near the point a
straight appressed awn, which extends to the apex of the palet, or a
little beyond it; upper palet shorter; grain oblong or linear, nearly
as long as the palets. Collected at Twin Lakes, Colorado. .
similar, if not identical, species was collected in the Rocky Mountains
in 1868 onthe expedition of Major Powell, and distributed as No.
693 of Vasey’s collection. This species might easily be mistaken for
Graphephorum melicoides, but _a close examination discovers the short
awn on the back of the palet. Butsome specimens of G. melicoides from
near Mount Kineo, Maine, also possess a short awn, though shorter
than these Rocky Mountain specimens. Other specimens of G. meli-
coides from Canada fail to show any awn. The question arises whether
these short-awned specimens should be considered as belonging to
Graphephorum or Trisetum. This species is dedicated to its discov-
erer, Mr. John Wolfe, of Illinois.
