Notes on the Flora of the Lake Superior Region, IV. ¥. J. Hill. 
(Bot. Gaz. xv. 324-331). 
The author notes that the red and blue-colored fiawers of the 
Minnesota region are very generally brighter in their hues than 
in other neighboring localities where clouds or fogs prevail and 
that white flowers show a tendency to coloration in a greater or 
less degree. This is attributed, probably, to the brighter skies 
that obtain in Minnesota, and hope is expressed that further 
observations upon the subject may be made.

seedlings, being developed from the nodes of the old stems.
