Hab, From Lake Huroiij Dr, Todd, throughout Canada to the Saskatehawan. Drummond, Dr. Richardson, 

 Nev\ foundland. Dr, Morrison. — This appears to be a very common species in Canada, judging from the 

 number and various localities of the specimens that have been sent to me. Some of these, indeed, so far as 

 can be judged in the dried state, seem to be very nearly allied to V. corT/mbosum, diflfering chiefly in the 

 smaller size, more frequently serrulated leaves which are most copious on the flowering branches, and the 

 shorter corollas. Berries clothed with a blue farina. 



4. V, Canadense ; foliis oblongo-lanceolatis integerrimis subtus prsecipue pubescentibus 

 ad nervos patenti-hirsutis, floribus fasciculato-racemosis, corollis ovatis. — Mich, in FrankL 

 \st Journ. ed. 2. App. p. 12. 



Hab. Throughout Canada from Lake Huron (Drumjnond,) to Bear Lake, (Z)r. Richardson^ and from 

 Missinabbie River, Hudaon^s Bay (il/n Bolton^ Douglas^ to the sources of the Columbia, (Drwwijwowrf,) 

 and thence probably to the mouth of that river, (Doufflas.) — Of this, the flowers, fruit, and the foliage, in 

 shape, very much resemble those of F. Pennsyhanicum, but the leaves, especially below, and in the oldest 

 state, are clothed with a rather copious pubescence, and the nerves are rendered more conspicuous by the 

 abundant spreading hairs. Berries as iu the preceding species,

5. V. uliginosum ; foliis obovatis obtusis integerrimis subtus glaucis venosis, floribus sub- 

 solitariis, corollis ovatis. — LAnn, — Engl, Bot. t 581, (foliis nimis acutis.) Mich. Am, v, 2.

 coast of America, probably far north of the Columbia. Mr. Menzies. Unalaschka. Chainisso. — In the low 

 lands this plant does not appear to exist south of the Saskatehawan, In the United States, the summits of 

 the White Hills of New Hampshire, where it was first detected by Dr. Bigeiow, and Dr, Boott, is the only 

 known station for it- A variety, slightly downy on the underside, found in Greenland, is the V. puhescms of 

 Hornemann in FL Dan., of which specimens are in my Herbarium.
