da7iuvi simplex, and Leptotcenia mullifida, and a Peucedanum not 

 yet identified, were our finds in Umbelliferae. 



Cornus stoloiiifera was in full bloom along' the brooks. 



Sambuciis melanocarpa was in fine bloom upon the top of the 

 rang-e, and brought vividly to mind my honored friend Prof E. L. 

 Greene, who by this time I hope has forg"iven me for tempting him 

 one August to taste the rich fine black fruit. I took to my heels — 

 he after me. I know of no animal that uses these fine appearing' 

 berries. Probably, also, Prof Greene has discarded their use I 



Valeriana sylvaiica and edidis are just passing into fruit. 



Aplopappus acaulis var. glabratus was just beginning- to bloom, 

 while Toivnscndia Parryi was in its prime and delighted every one 

 whose good fortune it was to gather it. This plant is gorgeous and 

 makes one of the finest of bouquet flowers as well as garden plants. 

 The day is coming when horticulturists will " go wild " over it.. 



Tow7isendia sericea has wholly disappeared at this season. 



Erigeron macranthus , glabellas, covipositas var. trifidus met our

 Senecio canus and aureus. 



Microseris troximoides, Crepis elegans, runcinala, acuminata and 

 occidentalis were in bloom, as also Troximon glaucian. 



Taraxacum officinale var. alpimim grew sparingly on the top of 

 the range. 



Campanula rotundifolia was very abundant, as also Arctostaphylos 

 Uva-ursi. 



Dodecatheon Meadia in several varieties was found just going out 

 of bloom. Douglasia montana was in fruit. 



Androsace septentrionalis and occidentalis were sparingly found 

 here, though near by they grow profusely. Glaux maritima is 

 abundant on our damp plains. A few specimens were found of 

 Trasera speciosa, which grows profusely in the mountains west of 

 the main range. 



Phlox muscoides, canescefis, and Richardsoni, were all out of
