     It seems best to keep this northwestern form specifically separate from 

that large assemblage of southern forms that have been commonly referred 

to   it。The   forms   referred   to   this   species   from   western   Kansas   ��Smyth's

forms�察    �inclining    to  simple    habit   and   ovate    form�察  �as   in  the  Colorado 

forms。The southern type ��C。 radiosus�� is distinguished from C。 viviparus

     The     smaller    straw´colored     flowers    alone    suggest    the  propriety     of 

keeping this form specifically distinct�察�but even in size and color there is 

an    occasional      tendency     toward     the   specific    character。The     obliquely 

obovate   curved   seeds   resemble   those   of   C。   viviparus。The   plant   densely 

covered with stout ashy´gray interlocking spines is easily recognized。
