Dr. Kuntze’s description of the subvariety repens is just as 
meaningless as the rest of his descriptions. He cites specimens, 
however, viz., Jones no. 1882 and 7887. We have two sheets of | 
each and they evidently do not belong together. No. 1882 in 
both the Columbia University and New York Botanical Garden 
herbaria are in fruit, have simply ternate leaves with subentire 
leaflets and must be referred to A. occidentalis. No. 1887 in 
flowers, on the contrary, has biternate leaves, and the leaflets are 
coarsely toothed. Dr. Kuntze’s subvariety is, therefore, “ eine 
zusammengesetzte’’ and according to some Germans, should be 
ruled out. After the part that belongs to A. occidentalis has been 
removed, I have adopted the name for the residue. 
Utan: American Fork, 1880, JZ. £. Jones, 1887 (type in 
herb. N. Y. Bot. Gard.). 
Wyominc: Wolf Creek Cajion, 1896, Aven Nelson, 2294, in 
part, the larger part belonging to A. senuiloba.

As stated above, the name occidentalis should be used for A. 
Columbiana Nutt. We are therefore obliged to adopt Kuntze’s 
varietal name. In the Synoptical Flora Clematis pseudoatragene 
Kuntze is given as a synonym, but from the short description 
neither of the varieties a, 8 or 6 can belong here. The var. @ 
normals is evidently partly A. Americana and partly 4. occiden- 
talis as here understood. The var. 0 sudiriternata is A. tenuiloba 
(A. Gray) Britton. What Clematis pseudoatragene var.  Wender- 
othioides * is I do not know. In the Synoptical Flora the range 
is given as extending from New Mexico to Dakota and Wash- 
ington. I have not seen any specimens from any station north of 
Vi * What a name! ‘Translated it would mean: A variety of the false Atragene
