Labrador, (Smith, Dr. Morrison,) to the w'oods and swamps of the Rocky Mountains, between kt 52^-56°, 

 (Drumrnond); and to Kotzebue*s Soimd in Behring^s Straits. LaTf and Collie. — This is assuredly the R, 

 acaulis of Michaux, a name which, though not strictly appropriate, it is needless to change. Br. Richard- 

 son observes to iHe that his R. propinquus is the same with R. acaulis, growing in woods and producing 

 flagelli which run among mosses, not upon the surface of the ground, and that the two-lloworcd peduncle 

 appears to have been accidental. Chamisso justly observes how near this comes to JR arcticus, but I 

 think the shorter, not zigzag, and slenderer stems, fewer leaves, larger tlowers, and much longer and 

 sharper calycine segments, with the larger and differently shaped petals of the present, will suffice to koep 

 it distinct. I am not able to say whether the clustering together of the styles be constant. Flowers red, 

 fragrant, {Rich.) Young flowering plants are scarcely a finger*s length in height, but iifter blossoming, 

 the stems are (especially in the woods) a span or more high, and the leaves much increased in size. The 

 fruit, which I possess on Dr. Wright's specimens, resembles that of R. arcticus.

Har. Near Foggy Harbour, on the North-West coast of America. Menzies, (ex Smith.)— Oi tills very 

 distinct Ruhus, resembling, however, in habit and in its flowers, 7i. acaulis, but in the leaves more ap- 

 proaching R, Chamcmiorus, I am indebted for excellent specimens to Mr. Menzies, who appears to be the 

 only Botanist that ever met with it. The representation is excellent in the Icones Plantarum ineditae of Sir 



J. E. Smith.

ichardson, Dr^tmmnnd. — A Kpedes 



nearly alUed to this is described by Dr. Torrey, under the luimc of R. dclicioms, as inhabiting the more 

 southern regions of the Rocky Mountains. It appears to differ in the absence of viscid glands.
