about half a mile west of Osoyoos Lake, B.C., where it was col- 

 lected by the writer, June 17th, 1905. Herb. No. 73,168. Its

 River, B.C. No. 72,458. {W . Spreadborough). Not recorded

 l^ seasons' work in that province. 



Vaccinium Alask^nsis, Howell.

 bush was found in 1905. Herb. No. 72,467. (/. M. Macomi).

 variety. It is represented in the herbarium of the Geological
