Hab. North-West coast of America. A. Menzies^ Esq, Common on the coast, and in the Rocfey 

 Mountains on the west side of the ridg-e. Douglas, Height of land near a large glacier, upon the Rocky 

 Mountains. Drummond. — This has very much the hahit of our T. unifoliata; but the leaves are constantly 

 ternate, the leaflets petiolulate, and the stem itself is sometimes a leafless scape, at other times, furnished 

 with one or two leaves, and ihe flowers are smaller. The alpine specimens, found by Mr. Drummond, differ 

 in no respect from those of the coast, except in being smaller. They are glabrous, as are many of those 

 from the coast, while others are more or less pubescenti-hirsute. Two panicles are occasionally produced on 

 the same stem.
