192 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
Type Locatity: “On the headwaters of the Missouri,” according to Pursh, but this is 
probably an error, as the Lewis specimen in the Philadelphia Academy is from the Koos- 
kooskee [Clearwater] River, Idaho. 
Rance: British Columbia to California and Utah. 
SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Klickitat’ River, lett 1114; White Salmon, Suksdorf 313;

Type vocauity: “On the headwaters of the Missouri and Columbia.’ Collected by

known range of the plant.

Our plant is clearly the &. giganteum figured in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine (pl. 5714) 
which Hooker suspects is the #. gigantewm Lindl. 
We incline to the belief that the #. revolutum Smith,e collected by Menzies on ‘“ King 
George’s Sound”’ is the plant here called . giganteum. But Mr. Carl Purdy retains that 
name for a closely allied species ranging from the Columbia River to Mendocino County, 
California, which may also range up the Washington coast to the vicinity of “ King 
George’s Sound,”’ i. e., the Gulf of Georgia. ;
