Hab. Arctic sea-coast, July, Aug., 1826. Dr. Richardson, — Flowers most abundant, and of a brilliant 

 lilac colour. It must be allowed that Dr. Richardson, and Messrs. Drummond and Douglas, have been 

 pre-emineatly successful in discovering new and beautiful species of the Genus Phlox in N. America, 

 especially if we take into account the P. Di-ummondii (from the southern extremity of that vast country), 

 which is now the pride and ornament of our gardens. It is much to be lamented that these more hardy 

 species from the north have not yet been introduced alive to our collections; for there is no doubt, from 

 the rich variety in the colour of their blossoms, and the great quantity of flowers yielded by every little 

 tuft, that they would be nearly, if not quite, as ornamental as P. DrummondiL

Hab. Sandy soils at Oakanagunca and Wallawallah, rather rare: flowers white, delicate. Douglas.- 

 Mr. Douglas afterwards saw this curious species (and another of the same section) more abundantly in Cali- 

 fornia. They and the G. pusilla have the habit of Arenaria, as observed by Mr. Bentham: perhaps still 

 more that of Spergida.

Hab. Banks of the Spokan River, N.W. America, particularly near its junction with the Columbia. 

 Douglas.— A tall and very handsome plant, but which, we fear, is now lost to our gardens. Mr. Bentham 

 has well distinguished it from the Gilia coronopifolia, Pers. {Ipomopsis elegans, Sm.) which is a native of 

 the southern United States.
