Hab. ^. Fort Norman to Arctic Sea-shore. Dr Richardson. N. W. Coast. Menzies. — y, Pljuns of the 

 Saskatchawan, Athabasca, and Red Rivers. Dr Richardson. Douglas. Drummond. — Besides the var. 

 discovered by Dr Richardson, in the first journey, with the spike'more cylindrical, and the bracteas perhaps 

 generally obtuser, another and more remarkable variety, as I consider it, was found in the second journey, 

 in the vicinity of the Saskatchawan, with broader leaves, of a pale green colour when dry, and with the 

 8]nke generally 4-5 inches long. In other particulars the plants agree with the European P. lanceolata.
