Phillips ECOLOGY AND PLANT PHYSIOLOGY TELEPHONE, Lycoming 5-1211 Extension 229 or 4i4 December 15* 194Ô / fi Vjj V?* Dr* W. H. Camp New York Botanical Garden Bronx Park New York City, New York Dear Red: In my monograph of the North American Ranunculi, which mi appeared as an article entitled NA Treatise on the North American'/^ Ranunculi," forming the July issue of the American Midland / • Naturalist but actually Issued lcefce in- Novembe^f,*"there appears on pages 43 and 250 the description of a very peculiar Ranunculus fro southern Utah. Until August 29th of this year the plant was known from only one collection by Marcus S«, Jones in 1894* On August 29th I located the plant in probablyTrtfiTonly^ location—about a spring £ along the main fault in the Sevier River.Jgallgy in the midst of the x sagebrush desert* I had expected touse Jones* specimen, which was collected in fruit for the most part, as the type collection* However, since my own collection Includes more individual sheets as well as good flowering and fruiting material, I changed the status of Jones* collection while the article was still in proof, making my own collection the type. Qiie of the sheets of Jones* collection is located in your herbarium, and I am sending an identification label for it* If I have labeled your sheets otherwise, I should ap- preciate it if you would substitute this label. In the addenda on page 250 of the article I have indicated your institution as one of those which will receive an isotype of this new entity, this being my own number 13420. I am sending, also, a copy of the mono- graph, but I am waiting until after Christmas for distributing these in order to avoid the rush in the mail.
