148 The Ottawa Naturalist. [Nov. 



Elk River, Rocky Mountains. Herb. No. 17,723. {G. M. 

 Dawson). Only known Canadian station. 



Penstemon ovatus, Dougl. 



A common plant in the valleys of the Chilliwack and 

 Skagit Rivers in 1901 and 1905. Herb. Nos. 76,812-813-814. 

 (J. M. Macoun). Previous Canadian records go to other species. 



Orthocarpus pusillus, Benth. 



Douglas, B.C., April 29th, 1906. Herb. No. 76,832. 

 (W . Spreadhorough). Not before recorded from British Columbia 

 mainland. 



Plantago elongata, Pursh. 



P. pusilla, Macoun, Cat. Can. PL Vol. I: p. 394. 



Mr. E. L. Morris in a recent revision of the Plantago section 

 to which this species belongs has shown that all Canadian speci- 

 mens are P. elongata. Known in Canada only from the drier 

 parts of southern Saskatchewan and Alberta. 



Grindelia perennis, a. Nels. 



G. squarrosa of Canadian botanists, in part. 



From Manitoba to Alberta and northward to the Peace 

 River. Our specimens of G. squarrosa, from which G. perennisis 

 separated by its narrow, almost entire leaves, are all from 

 Manitoba or southern Saskatchewan. 



Myosotis laxa, Lehm. 



M. palustris, Macoun, Cat. Can. PI. Vol. I: p. 340 in part. 



Piper in his Flora of the State of Washington credits this 

 species to Oregon and Washington, but it is remarkable that a 

 plant so common on the Pacific coast should have for so long 

 remain unrecorded. No British Columbia records have been 

 made. Our specimens are from: Ladner's Landing, Eraser 

 River, B.C., No. 17,136. (Jas. Fletcher). New Westminster, 

 B.C., No. 692, and Lulu Island, Eraser River, B.C., No. 17,135. 

 (John Macoun). Lake House, Skagit River, B.C., No. 76,760. 

 (/. M. Macoun). Chilliwack River, B.C., No. 76,759, and 

 Douglas, B.C., on the coast, No. 76,758. (Wm. Spreadhorough). 

 Prof. Macoun also reports having found this plant on both the 

 east and west coasts of Vancouver Island. 



Abronia^umbellata, Lam. 



Abundant along the sea-shore at Pachena Bay, west coast 

 of Vancouver Island. Collected Sept. 10th, 1909, by Mr. George 

 Eraser. This is the first Canadian record for this species, the 

 specimens collected by Dr. Eletcher and recorded, Macoun. Cat. 

 Can. PI. Vol. I: p. 395, as A. umhellata being the next species.
