 are two forms of this species, both collected by Mr. Drummond,_one scarcely an inch Ion-, with 

 two or three branches, and quite identical with the G. prostrata of the German AIps,-the other three to 

 SIX inches high, with many ascending branches of equal length, and the leaves more distant; besides, the 

 flowers are larger, but they are not drooping in the specimens from the Rocky Mountains, as in those col- 

 lected by Chamisso. The latter form is peculiar to North America, but by no means specificallv

 other species, which stand next to G. humilis, have been well analyzed by Mr. Bunge. G.prostrata has 

 been found by Mr. Darn in, at the Straits of Magellan!

 Bongard though representing with great precision the specimens which had been collected by the late 

 Mr Mertens, does not well express the appearance of the common form, as those specimens were not ytt 

 quite developed: the flowers are not so crowded; the internodia are longer; the branchellnlated
