branches twining ; leaves small, on short petioles, cordate, ob- 
tuse, stiff, hispid from pili as well as the branches, pale and 
glaucous beneath. kh.%.H. Native of north-west America, 
on the subalpine range of Mount Hood, in rocky, partially 
shady places, abundant; sparingly at the Grand Rapids, and on 
steep rocks near Oak Point, on the Columbia. The specimens 
examined have no flowers, but judging from the habit of the 
plant it may perhaps safely be referred to this genus, and to 
the present division of it. The leaves are hardly 6 lines long, 
uniform, exactly cordate, very villous as well as the stems with 
brown hairs.
