70 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 



Nutt., a form of T. palustre, DC. "In the mountains, at middle elevations, 

 in wet ground ; different from T. Densleonis, which was also met with, truly 

 indigenous." (In the high alpine region were collected a few specimens of 

 another form, viz. : of a very depauperate T. Icevigatum, DC.) 



CAMPANULACE^E. 

 35S. Campanula rotuxdifolia, L., an ordinary form. 359. C- Langsdokf- 

 fiaka, Fischer ; excellent specimens of Parry's 266, exhibiting the same 

 characters. It is said to be " very common in the subalpine region and lower, 

 in wet ground." 360. C. uxiflora, L. " Pike's Peak ; high alpine. " 361. 

 C. aparinoides, Pursh, a depauperate form. 



ERICACEAE. 

 362. Vaccinium myetillus, L. "Alpine and subalpine;" in flower and 

 fruit, connecting the small-leaved form with the ordinary European plant. 

 363. V. CJBSPiTOSUM, Michx. 364. Arctostaphylos Uva-Uksi. Spreng. 365. 

 GAULTnERiA Myrsimtes, Hook. 366. Pyrola secuxda, L. 367. P. rotunli- 

 folia, L., var. uliginosa, Gray. 36S. P. ciilorantha, Swartz ; a small form. 

 369. P. (Moxeses) uxiflora, L. 370. Kalmia glauca, L., the very dwarf 

 form from the " high alpine " region. 371. Pteeospora Asdromedea, Nutt. 



PLANTAGINACEiE. 



372. Plantago eriopoda, Torr. (For the synonymy, see Proceed. Amer. 

 Acad., 6, p. 55, note.) 373. Apparently the same species, with hardly any wool 

 at the crown, which happens in other species. ' ' High alpine, near perpetual 

 snow." 374. P. Patagoxica, Lam., var. gnaphalioides, Gray. 



PEIMULACE.E. 

 375. Axdrosace filifoemis, Eetz. " Subalpine; not rare."* 376. A. sep- 

 textrionalis, L. "Below the subalpine region and also alpine."f 377. A. 

 occidentalis, Nutt. " On the plains." 202. A. Cham^ejasme, L. (A. carinata, 

 Torr.) High alpine on Pike's Peak, where Dr. James collected it. 378. Pri- 

 mula farixosa, L., var. foliis sessilibus ; umbella capitata ; calyce cylindraceo 

 tubuni corolke subasquante. P. dealbata, Engelm. in litt. But it exactly 

 accords with the left-hand figure of P.farinosa, var. Magellanica of Hooker's 

 Flora Antarctica (P. decipiens, Duby), and with my Antarctic specimens, ex- 

 cept that the calyx is perhaps a little longer, and the corolla bluish-purple. 

 Mr. Burke collected the same form on the ltocky Mountains farther north, but 

 with the tube of the corolla a little exserted. Bourgeau collected specimens 

 in the Saskatchawan district, having this elongated calyx-tube along with pedi- 

 cels of ordinary length. It is interesting thus to connect the Antarctic with 

 the northern forms, by specimens from the Piocky Mountains in about lat. 40. 

 379. P. Parryi, Gray, Enum. PI. Parry, No. 311. "Alpine and subalpine ; 

 common." This holds its characters, except that the specimens of 1862 are 

 generally less luxuriant, and the divisions of the corolla less bifid ; indeed, in 

 some of those of Dr. Parry's later collection they are barely emarginate ; and 

 in a few of thein the calyx is very little glandular, and its lobes are ovate- 

 lanceolate. The longer pedicels of the umbel are li to 2 inches, or in fruit 

 even 3 inches, in length. Capsule short-ovid, half an inch long, slightly 

 shorter than the calyx-lobes. The thick root is said by Dr. Parry to be very 



* Androsa.cejiiliform.ig, Retz., a Siberian species, of which beautiful specimens are in the collec- 

 tion, is now first recorded as ul the American flora. It has, however, long since been collected in 

 tne Rocky Mountains by Fremont, iu his first expedition (in whose report it was wrongly 

 named A. occidentalis, Nutt.); by Burke (ex. Herb. Hook.); and more recently by 11. Engcluiami, 

 in whose collection it was mistaken lor A. septentrionalis. From the latter, beyond the characters 

 assigned by authors, it is well distinguished by its almost hemispherical calyx, scarcely if at all 

 angled, and with short and flat, not fohaceous teeth. 



f Dr. Farry'B 313 a of 1SC2, is the high alpine form of this.
