 at the Columbia River, but is not confined to the west coast. I have received the same state from the 

 White Hills of New Hampshire. Indeed very many of the Luzulm and Jmciy^xy in the same manner.

 west side of the Rocky Mountains. The elongated spikes of flowers, sometimes compact, sometimes remote, 

 give the appearance of a Carex to this Luzula, I have from the White Mountains, New Hampshire, a 

 var. of the pale-flowered Z. campestris, very nearly approaching this, which nevertheless seems to be a good 

 species,
