SILENE REPENS Patrin, in Pers. Syn. 1: 500. 1805. 
This Siberian species has been collected in Montana at the 
following stations: Spanish Basin, July 11, 1896, Flodman, no. 
412; Mystic Lake, Bozeman Cajfion, July 24, 1895, Rydberg, no. 
2635. As far as I can find, there is no reference in print regard- 
ing its occurrence in America. Dr. B. L. Robinson, to whom the 
specimens were sent for identification and who has determined it 
as well as the next following species, writes: 
‘‘Your specimens of S. repens are very interesting. I have 
seen specimens from Alaska, but never before from other parts of 
North America. I have no doubt, however, of the identity of 
your plants with the real Asiatic plant, having just made careful 
dissections of the two alongside of each other. However, the 
matter of distribution is not so surprising after the discovery of 
Stellaria dichotoma in Montana some years ago.”

This is, I think, the first time this variety is reported from 
within the United States. Only a few specimens were collected,
