.Hab. Arctic Islands, frequent ; from the Continent I have seen only one specimen, and that of gigantic 

 growth (a foot tall), from Bear Lake, gathered by i)r Richardson in his second journey. The '* P. hirsuta" 

 of the former journey I refer to P. Langsdorffii {arctica, Br.). The present may be at once recognised by 

 the remarkable dilatation of the petiole, of which the rachis is an equally broad continuation ; and on this, 

 at the margins, are set the little segments, or rather pinnules, like the teeth on the broad snout of a sword-fish, 

 at regular distances. This character has not escaped the notice of Wahlenberg. The flowers are smaller, 

 and much paler coloured than in the preceding.

Hab. Islands of N. W. America. (Steven.) — Except in the larger flowers and larger size, generalh% of the 

 plant, and the minute angle in front of the galea, this species comes very near P. Jiammea,

Hab. Shady alpine woods of the Rocky Mountains. Drummond, N.W. Am. Douglas (last journey) 



A very fine plant, 2 feet and more high ; some of the leaves are 6 inches, and even longer, and some of the 

 pinnEE four inches ; spike long and dense. 



Mr Pursh gives the P. recutita as a native of the N.W. Coast, on the authority of Mr Menzies, "and 

 probably throughout Canada." But, doubtless, some very different species has been mistaken for it.* 



• Among the notes on the N. American species of Pedicularis, kindly communicated to me by Mr Bentham, and 

 from which I have greatly profited, is the character of a very beautiful new species, found by Mr Douglas in North 

 California, with the flowers much resembling those of recutita ; *'
