 Canoe Camp, 150 ft. " Plowers pale pink to white." 



Remarkable for its small flowers appearing solitary from axillai-y tufts of bracts. The 

 male flowers of the one specimen seen are borne in tbe upper axils, the female in the 

 lower. The female flower has three inner petals in the only flower I have seen, but 

 this may not be normal. The fruit appears to have been succulent, and not winged as 

 in a. Roxburghiana, A. DC.
