Hab. And places on the eastern summits of the Rocky Mountains, lat. 52o to 55®. Dntmmond. — This 

 is again another discovery which goes to prove how much the arctic and alpine vegetation of North 

 America assimilates ^nth that of Europe. The specimens are in every particular the same as my German 

 and Piedmontese ones; or if there be any difference worthy of notice, it is that the leaves are not so fully 

 expanded at the time of the perfection of the flower as in those of the old world. The flowers are strongly 

 tinfired with blue in most instances. Boot fusiform. 



5. A, jiemorosa ; foliis ternatis foliolis integris vel intermedio 3-fido lateralibus bipar-

Hab. Canada, and thence to the south end of Lake Winipeg; not seen to the northward of lat. 53o. 

 Dr, Richardson. Country eastward of the Rocky Mountains. Drummond, Westward of the Rocky Moun- 

 tains. Douglas. — Flowers white, varying to purple, as in Europe ; but the sepals are more constantly 5, 

 and the leaves though occasionally as broad as with us, are usually narrower and disposed to he more com- 

 pound. 



6. A, deltoidea ; parce hirsuta, foliis ternatis foliolis (involucralibus que sessilibus) rhom- 

 boideis integris trifidisve inciso-serratis acutis, sepalis b-Q obovatis. (Tab. III. A.) 



Folia radicalia, longe petiolata, temata, foliolis late-ovatis suhdeltoideis, integris, trifidisque. Scajms 

 erectus, gracilis, 8-10 pollicaris, parce pilosus, supra medium involucratus. Jnvolucrum e foliis tribus 

 sesqui-bi-uncialibus, rhomboideis, acutis vel acuminatis, subtus margineque subpilosis, sessilibus, indivisis 

 subtrifidisve hasi integerrimis vel inciso-serratis. Flos solitarius, majusculus. Sepala alba, ovalia vel obo- 

 vata, obtuse patentia, glabriuscula. Stamina numerosa, sepalis multo breviora. Pistilla ovata in stylo brevi- 

 usculo acuminata, hasi lanata. 



Hab. In thick shady M'oods of the Columbia, near its confluence with the sea. Douglas, Scouler. I 



have only seen leaves of this species since the plate was engraved, upon Dr. Scouler*s specimens. The habit 

 is that of A, nemorosa, but the involucre is very different from that and every other species with which I am 

 acquainted. The flowers are as large as those of A, Pennsylvania. 



7. A, Richardsoni; subpilosa, foliis renifortnibus 3-5 partitis, lobis subtrifidis acute 

 dentatis, involucralibus rotundato-cuneatis sessilibus trifidis dentatisque, sepalis 6 pa- 

 tentibus, carpellis compressis glabris, stylis longis deflexis uncinatis, (Tab. IV. A.)
