shoots; the leaves of the latter linear or subulate-linear, twice the 

 length of the internodes, spreading- or the lowest recurved, less 

 than a line wide, puberulent, or marginally somewhat villous, the 

 stem retrorsely villous: bracts of the cyme short, broadly subulate; 

 calyx glandular hirtellous and with some scattered villous hairs : 

 capsule short, only the teeth exserted and bent upward. 



Chilliwack Valley, B.C., J M. Macoun, 20 June, 1902, the 

 specimens in mature fruit ; the label bearing the number 34,023. 



Cerasxium alsophilum. Perennial, the slender and sparsely 

 leafy flowering stems a foot long or more, ending in a rather strict 

 many-flowered cyme, the sterile shoots few, long or short, only 

 loosely leafy, weaker than the others ; the whole herbage green 

 and apparently glabrous, a lens disclosing hirtellous hairs on all 

 the parts, but most obviously on the stems : leaves all spatulate- 

 linear, acute, thin, spreading : bracts of the cyme subulate : 

 pedicels filiform, the primary ones an inch long or more, minutely 

 glandular-hirtellous : sepals very acute, thin and rather faintly 

 i-nerved, sparingly glandular-villous ; petals thrice the length of 

 the sepals : capsule unknown. 



This species, very well marked in habit, foliage, pubescence, 

 etc., is also from the Chilliwack Valley, by Mr. Macoun. There 

 are two sheets of it, one bearing the number 34,020, the other 

 34,021. The thin foliage and loose habit indicate it to be an in- 

 habitant of shady places. 



Cerasxium nix dum. Perennial, 6 inches high, slender, 

 sparsely leafy, the younger stems often purplish, the older 

 whitish, shining and quite glabrous below, above more or less 

 pubescent in lines : leaves oblong-linear, acute, mostly less than 

 y^ inch long, suberect on the flowering stems, spreading on the 

 sterile shoots, glabrous in every part except for occasional long 

 hairs at the very base : inflorescence scarcely cymose, the flowers 

 often solitary, sometimes 4 or 5 : sepals thin, scarious tipped, 

 sparingly pubescent, faintly nerved : petals thrice as long, ob- 

 cordate : capsule not seen. 



Habitat of the foregoing, though of a subalpine altitude 

 (5,500 ft.); collected by Mr. Macoyn, 29 Aug., 1901. (No. 34,022.)
