 DendroL L 109. 



Hab. Canada. Pursh, Drummond.—'nus was only gathered with ripe fruit by Mr Drummond. What 

 I have received from the United States' botanists as S, caduca, does not seem to differ from this species, and 

 Dr Torrey {in Herb, nostr,) quotes the S. quadrangular is of Willd. as the same plant. 



2. S. peduncularis (Muhl.) ; herbacea subsimplex, caule inermi erecto subscandente 

 (siccitate) angulato, foliis sublonge petiolatis ovato-siibcordatis teneris glaberrimis sensitn 

 acuminatissimis 7-9-nervis subtus pallidioribus subglaucescestibus, pedunculis longis- 

 simis folium longe superantibus, umbellis multifloris, ovarii loculis biovulatis. (Tab. 

 CLXXXVIL B.)— /3- foliis basi'acutioribus.— S. herbacea. L.—Bot Mag, L 1920. 



Hab. Canada, to Lake Winipeg and Red River. DovgIas.~l think it will be found tliat S. herbacea is 

 only a var. of the present species.

 angulato, foliis cordato-rotundatis obtusis cum acuminulo 9-nerviis supra glaberrimis 

 subtus subglaucescentibus nervulis pilosis, pedunculis petiolum parum superantibus folio 

 multo brevioribus, umbella multiflora. (Tab. CLXXXVIL A.)

Hab. Carlton House Fort on the Saskatchawan. Dr Michardson.— This is an herbaceous species, and 

 allied to the last, though truly distinct, not only in the form of the leaves, and the downiness of the under- 

 surface, but in the comparatively very short peduncles.

 glaucis, pedicellis elongatis distorlis geniculatis, sepalis longe acuminatis reflexis, antheris 

 acutissimis integris, stigmata truncato. (Tab. CLXXXVIIL A.)—Ph, Am. I. p. 232. 

 Torrey, \. p, 353.— S. amplexifolius, De Ctrwe/.— Uvular i a. L. 



Hab. Canada, to the Saskatchawan, and from Newfoundland and Hudson's Bay to the Rocky Moun- 

 tains, and thence to the Columbia, and north to Fort M'Laughlin and Sitcha, on the N. W. coast. Dr 

 mchardson. Drummond, Bongard, Tolmie, &c.— The most careful comparison of this and the European 

 5. amplexifolius have satisfied me that the tNvo plants offer no specific distinction whatever. I prefer, 

 however, Michaux's name as much more characteristic.
