repens, O. K. Rev. Gen. ii. 674. — In boreal and arctic Europe and 
Asia. In America, definitely known only from the extreme north and 
from the Rocky Mountain region: Cumberland House, 1825 (Drum- 
mond) ; * Mountain woods of the Rocky Mountains (Drummond) and 
from the Saskatchewan to Fort Franklin, Dr. Richardson ” — accord- 
ing to Hooker; Rocky Mountains, 1858 (Bourgeau) ; in woods, lower 
slopes of Pike's Peak, Colorado, 1878 (Aubrey H. Smith). Probably 
more generally distributed in America than at present known ; but cer- 
tainly not so common in the east as the following : — 
Var. ophioides. Generally a little lower than the species: leaves 
rather smaller, the veins bordered by conspicuous broad white pencil- 
ings, strongly suggesting the markings of a serpent. —G. repens mostly

tal or oblique slightly interlacing veins ; the veins bordered by irregular
