Hab. Throughout Canada to the mouth of the Mackenzie River. Dr. Richardson. Drummond. — This 

 differs in no respect from our Europaean R. rubrum : and it is so abundant in North America, that it must

 nervium, accords sufficieutly M'ell, except that I find no evidently white or pale-coloured nerves.
