Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 10881, collected in the Sierra

oblanceolate, obscurely crenate, obtuse, thickish, sparsely pubescent on the 
midrib and margins with simple hairs, the blade 5 mm. long on a shorter 
margined petiole; cauline leaves 3 to 8 mm. long, sessile, oblong to lanceolate, 
obtuse, entire or nearly so, the margins and midribs pubescent with mostly 
simple hairs; flowers corymbose, somewhat nodding, short-pediceled; sepals 
oblong, acutish, purple-tinged, 2 mm. long; petals white, as long as the sepals; 
pods erect, narrowly linear, obtuse, glabrous, 18 to 23 mum. long on stout, 
glabrous pedicels one-fourth as long; style stout, about 0.5 mm. long. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 690787, collected near Humes 
Glacier, Mount Olympus, Washington, August 12, 1907, by J. B. Flett. 
A near ally of A. furcata 8S. Wats., but distinguished by its much smaller 
flowers and the branched pubescence of the stem. 
Cheiranthus capitatus Hook. Fl. Bor. Amer, 1: 38, 1829. 
The type of this, collected by Douglas ‘on rocky places of the Columbia 
near the sea,” is in the Kew Herbarium, and 2 duplicate is in the British 
Museum. The plant is identical with Erysimum elatum Nutt. and has nothing 
to do with Hrysimum grandifiorum Nutt., to which it has commonly been 
referred. 
Astragalus glareosus, Dougl.; Hook. Fl. Bor. Amer, 1: 52, 1830. 
Wholly on the basis of the description the writer identified this species some- 
what hesitatingly with Astragalus allanaris Sheldon. In Hooker's description 
it was said to be “plentiful on dry gravelly banks of rivers, from the con- 
fluence of Lewis and Clarkes Rivers with the Columbia to the mountains.” 
At Kew there are two sheets of Douglas’s collecting, one labeled “On barren 
sandy grounds, common, a fine plant,” and the other “Abundantly on sandy 
dry grounds in the interior of the Columbia, 1826.” A duplicate of the second 
sheet is in the British Museum. All are flowering specimens of the plant 
later called Astragalus allanaris Sheldon. The plant of Colorado and Wyoming, 
heretofore referred to Astragalus glareosus, is quite different and is properly 
named Astragalus argophyllus Nutt. 
Lysimachia terrestris (1..) B. S. P. Prel. Cat. N. Y. 34. 1888. 
Viscum terrestre L. Sp. Pl. 1028. 1758. 
This species, not before recorded from west of the Rocky Mountains, has 
been collected at Shoalwater Bay, Washington, in ditches along a cranberry 
bog by Dr. Cora B. Eaton, July 1, 1910. 
Ligusticum scothicum I. Sp. Pl. 250. 1753. 
According to Hooker’ this plant was collected by Douglas at the mouth of 
the Columbia, and Gray’ later identified one of Cooper’s plants as this 
species—“ not rare along the coast at Shoalwater Bay.” What the Cooper
