Hab. Labrador. Kohimeister. Dr Morrison. High parts of the Rocky Mountains. Drummond, — The 

 plant thus named for me by Mr Borrer, who is probably acquainted with the original plant cultivated by Mr 

 Anderson, little deserves the appellation of cordlfolia, its leaves being more frequently acute than retuse at 

 the base. Many of the specimens approach very near to the following.

 brador. Miss Brenton. — This plant has a disposition to turn almost black in drying, and the catkins have a 

 peculiarly dingy or sooty hue, from the dark colour of the large scales and of the elongated styles and stigmas.
