 grass & Heller, no. 670 (hb. Gr.). James Isl. : James Bay, on bluffs 

 near the beach, Snodgrass & Heller, no. 377 (hb. Gr.). Although I 

 have not seen original material of Anderssou's B. glandidosa I find plaitts 

 from Albemarle collected by Messrs. Snodgi'ass & Heller, which corre- 

 spond so closely with Andersson's description that I cannot avoid the con- 

 clusion that they represent just what Andersson had. Nevertheless the 

 plants seem to be onl}' starved and dwarfed B. viscosa, growing as 

 Andersson says /?* locis sterilissimis. Further distrib. S. W. United 

 States, Mex., W. S. Am. southward to Chili.
