slopes near the foot of Weissner's Peak, Kootenai County, 8 July, 

 1892, Sandberg, MacDougal, & Heller, no, 586, on dry hillsides of 

 Cedar Mountains, Latah County, 7 July, 1893, Piper no. 1657, and 

 near South Clearwater, 26 June, 1894, Henderson, no. 2677;

CoRDYLANTHus CANE8CENS, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. vii. 383, 

 Bot. Calif, i. 581, & Syn. Fl. ii. pt. 1, 304. Specimens agreeing in 

 all essential details with this species were collected. by William C. 

 Cusick near hot alkaline springs, Alvord Valley, southeastern 

 Oregon, 14 July, 1898, no. 2034. The occurrence of this plant at 

 the above station extends the range of the species considerably 

 northward from its hitherto recorded localities. 



TowNSENDiA Watsoni, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xvi. 84, & Syn. 

 Fl. i. pt. 2, 168. Specimens collected by William C. Cusick in the 

 Malheur region of southeastern Oregon, 17 June, 1898, no. 1935> 

 agree in all essential characters, particularly in the very short 

 pappus of the ray-flowers, with the type specimen of the above 

 species. Here also may be referred Cusick's no. 1267 (coll. of 

 1885) from the same region. Although the pappus of the ray- 

 flowers in the last cited number is somewhat variable, yet the 

 setiform squamellse rarely exceed in length the diameter of the 

 achene, thus showing its aflinity with T. Watsoni rather than with 

 T. scapigera, to which species it has been previously referred. 



Helenium Hoopesii, Gray, Proc. Acad. Philad. 1863, p. 65, 

 Bot. Calif i. 392, & Syn. Fl. i. pt. 2, 347; Dod in Garden xxix. 

 191. Excellent specimens of this characteristic species were 

 collected by William C. Ciisick along streams of the higher Stein's 

 Mountains, southeastern Oregon, 15 July, 1898, no. 2037. Al- 

 though this species has a comparatively wide distribution, it does 

 not seem to have been hitherto recorded definitely from Oregon. 



Stephanomeria pentachaeta, Eaton in Wats. Bot. King Exp. 

 199, t. 20, I 8-10; Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 63, & Syn. Fl. i. 

 pt. 2, 414. To this species may be referred specimens collected by 

 William C. Cusick on Alvord Desert, southeastern Oregon, 7 July, 

 1898, no. 2019. The species has been heretofore attributed only to 

 Nevada and California.
