Hab. Sitcha, N.W.C. Bongard. — The specimen which M, Bongard has kindly sent to me appears to 

 differ from F. alpina ^. only in being more glabrous, and in having- the upper part of the stem drooping- ; 

 but that author rather compares it with V. Stelleri, to which he says it is " maxime afBnis, sed distincta caule 

 semper nutante, corymbo paucifloro, floribus triplo minoribus, corolla intus glabra, capsula subglabra (nee 

 pilosa), calycem vix supcrante (nee sesquilongiore), stylo calyce multo breviore terminata."
