of the Thames as on the rude banks of the Columbia and 

 Multnomah. 



We are informed by Mr. Douglas, that " this hand- 

 some and strongly marked species, in its native country is 

 not so plentiful as many others. In the dry, gravelly, or 

 rocky channels of mountain torrents in the Rocky Moun- 

 tains, lat. 47° north, and at the base of the Blue Moun- 

 tains on the banks of the Kooskooskee river, 6300 feet 

 above the level of the sea, it occurs frequently." 



Introduced in 1827. It flovv^ered in the Garden of the 

 Horticultural Society for the first time in June 1829, where 

 our drawing was made. 



It is a hardy perennial, increased by seeds, or division 

 of its roots. 



The following list of the Pentstemons that have been 

 found by Mr. Douglas, and which are now growing in the 

 Garden of the Horticultural Society, will shew the extent 

 to which our Gardens have been enriched with them.
