BOTANICAL NOTES. 



Anogra Nuttallii (Sweet) A. Nels., Bot. Gaz. XXXIV: 368. 



CEnothera alhicaulis, Macoun, Cat. Can. PL I: 172 in part. 



A common plant of the prairies from Manitoba almost to 

 the foot-hills. A. alhicaulis does not reach Canada. 



Anogra pallida (Lindl.) Britt. 



CEnothera alhicaulis, Macoun, Cat. Can. PL I: 172 in part. 



Sandy plains near Lake Osoyoos, B.C., probably at or 

 near the place it was collected by Douglas. No. 72,804 (J. M. 

 Macoun). The plant collected by Hill near Spence's Bridge, B.C., 

 and recorded by Prof. Macoun as alhicaulis is likely this species. 

 Specimens not seen. The specimens collected at Lake Osoyoos 

 have the narrow leaves oi A.leptophylla (Nutt.), but as Douglas 

 collected around Lake Osoyoos these plants may safely be 

 referred to A . pallida. 



Epilobium Wyomingense, a. Nels., Bot. Gaz. XXX, 194. 



The chief characters by w^hich Mr. Nelson has separated 

 this species from E. palustre are its longer smooth leaves and 

 smooth stems and its smooth almost beakless seed. The only 

 specimens in our herbarium that can certainly be referred here 

 are No. 12,676 from Prince Albert, Sask. {John Macoun) and No. 

 72,371 from Little Lake Manitou, Sask. {Macoun and Herrioi). 



Erigeron Yellowstonensis, a Nels., Bot. Gaz. XXX: 198. 



E. acris, L. var. Droebachensis , Macoun, Cat. Can, PI. I: 

 547 in part. 



Easily separated from E. Drcehachensis , as it is known in 

 Canada, by the hirsute, generally densely hirsute, involucral 

 bracts. Our Rocky Mountain specimens are from Lake Louise, 

 No. 65,544, Laggan, No. 65,545 and 65,546, Crow Nest Pass, 

 No. 70,354 {John MacoMw).*^Near Banff, No. 22,162 (A^. B. 

 Sanson). Maligne River near head of Athabasca River, No. 

 19,692 (W . Spreadhorough). West of the Rockies it has been 

 collected near Cascade, Kettle River, B.C., bv J. M. Macoun, 

 No. 65,033. 



Alopecurus occidentalis, Scribn. and Tweedy. 



The only Canadian record is the one made by Prof. Macoun, 

 Cat. Can. Plants, vol. II, p. 189. It has since been collected by 

 Prof. Macoun at Milk River Ridge, Alta., No. 13,010, and Bragg's 

 Creek, Elbow River, Rocky Mountains, No. 18,626.
