REVISION OF EPILOBIUM. 99 
and pale; flowers few, nodding; petals 5 to 8 mm. long, 
violet ; capsules 40 to 60 mm., their slender peduncles about 
half as long; seeds finely papillate, .8 x 1 mm.; coma 
dingy. — Union county, Oregon ( Cusick, 1880, No. 911, as 
to the larger plant, and 1882, no. 550). Specimens from 
the upper Flat Head River ( Canby, 1883, No. 132), with 
more pubescent stems, acuter leaves, and shorter peduncles, 
- apparently also belong here. —Plate 28. 
In delicacy of leaves, this species approaches alpinum and. 
especially Californicum, from which it differs in pubes- 
cence, innovations, etc. . 
Var. TENUE. — A span or so high, with narrow more erect. 
leaves and few pale flowers. —With the type, under the 
number 911. The unusually large turions appear to form 
fleshy but more or less green rosettes when exposed to the 
light, in this respect approaching the preceding group. 
A specimen with small turions from Washington ( Brande- 
gee, 1882, no. 284), may go here. I cannot separate from 
this variety, specimens from Gray’s Peak, Col. ( Patterson, 
Aug. 7, 1875), but these are out of the usual range of this 
species, and in that of #. saximontanum. — Plate 28. 
24. E. @LanpDULOSUM, Lehm. —Tall and rather thick 
(but soft) stemmed, the largest specimens branched, com- 
monly somewhat loosely crisp-pubescent above or with very 
flexuous glandular hairs ; leaves typically crowded near the 
summit, frequently exceeding the inflorescence, 80 to 120 
mm. long, broadly ovate or ovate-lanceolate, the upper 
acute or sub-acuminate, prominently serrulate, mostly 
abruptly rounded to the base, drying dark; flowers erect, 
near the end of the stem; petals 5 to 7 mm. long, more or 
less purple; capsules about 60 mm., short-stalked, occa- 
sionally quite pubescent; seeds coarsely hyaline-papillate 
or with the papille often entirely collapsed, very blunt 
above, .5 x usually 1.5 to 1.8 mm.; coma dingy. — Pugil- 
lus, ii. (1830),14; Haussknecht, Monogr. 273.—Alaska and 
across the islands of the northwest to Asia. Forms too 
near this also in British Columbia. — Plate 29.
