REVISION OF EPILOBIUM. 107 
Specimens of the aspect of this species, but as much as 
a foot and a half high, and some of them branched above, 
with the flower buds 8 to 10 mm. and the violet petals 12 
mm. long, and with deeply 4-lobed stigma, were collected 
on Mt. Stewart, Washington, by Mr. Brandegee (Aug. 
1883, no. 778 in Hb. Gray., Hb. Canby., etc.). They ap- 
pear to be hybrids of this species, but I do not venture to 
suggest the other parent. 
= — Seeds smooth or merely areolate. — A single species of the habit 
of Hornemanni, but passing into the following group by its smooth 
seeds. 
33. E. Boncarpt, Hausskn. — A foot or less high, erect, 
simple, with crisp-hairy lines, the apex at first nodding; 
leaves 25 to 50 mm. long, rather ascending, crowded above, 
very broadly lanceolate, the upper acute, sharply but re- 
motely denticulate, usually crisp-ciliate, gradually nar- 
rowed to the conspicuous cuneately winged base, veiny, 
drying brown; inflorescence sparingly glandular; flowers 
rather few, somewhat nodding; petals about 8 mm. long, 
pale or rosy; capsules rather slender, 40 mm. long, on 
slender peduncles much shorter than the leaves; seeds 
nearly beakless, .4 x 1.3 mm.; coma very dingy. — Oesterr. 
Bot. Zeitschr. xxix. (1879), 89; Monogr. 278. — Alaska 
and the adjacent islands. — Plate 43. 
+*4*4,7 Often more or less cespitose by leafy stolons, otherwise sim- 
ple or nearly so: sometimes apparently annual. 
++ Seeds smooth or at most undulate-areolate except in forms referred 
to Oregonense. ' 
= Habit of Z. Hornemanni, with rather ample leaves. 
34. E. Benrineranum, Hausskn. —A spanto nearly a foot 
high, sometimes with ascending branches from near the base, 
more or less nodding at apex, glabrous except for the shortly 
crisp-pubescent lines; leaves about 40 mm. long, mostly 
broadly ovate, subentire or the acutish upper ones slightly
