calyx ovoid^ 10-striate, finally inflated, including the petals; seeds arilled. 
— On the Arctic coast from Greenland to Behring Strait, and southward to 
Labrador and the Saskatchewan collected also in the Rocky Mountains of 
Colorado, and now on the Uinta Mountains, Utah; 12,000 feet altitude; 
August. The specimens approach closely to the typical form of the species ; 
stems, (1-flowcred, 3-4' high,) nerves of the calyx and margins of the leaves 
glandular-pubescent ; petals not exceeding the calyx ; seeds large and mar- 
gined ; filaments and claws of the petals naked. The leaves are thin, nearly 
glabrous, and scarcely at all ciliated at base. (152.) 
Lychnis Ajanensis, Regel. ("?) Bull, de Mosc, 1861, jj. 5G4. Leaves and 
stem clothed with a dense short pubescence, which becomes glandular a])()vc 
''nd upon the calyx ; leaves cihated at the base ; petals shortly cxscrted, pur- 
plish; claws and filaments ciliated ; seeds small, nearly immarginatc. — This 
plant certainly resembles closely that of Siberia, ditfering only in the less 
exserted corolla and in the glandular character of the pubescence. Like tlic 
last in size and habit, and growing with it, but distinguishable at sight. (153.) 
Lychnis Drummondi. (Silene Drummondii^ Hook. !) Glandular-pubes- 
cent and viscid ; stems erect, strict, simple ; leaves remote, hnear-lanceolate ; 
raceme loose, few-flowered, with the elongated pedicels alternate or opposite; 
calyx oblong-cylindrical, erect. — Stems several, 1-3° high; flowers 3-5; 
petals white or purpHsh, the Hmb 2-lobed or emarginate, scarcely exceeding 
the calyx, minutely crowned and narrower than the obtusely strongly auricled 
claw ; seeds reniform, uniformly tuberculated under the microscope, iuuuar- 
ginate. The species is reported from Fort Vancouver and east to the 
Saskatchewan, from Oregon and Northern CaHfornia, Western Arizona, New 
Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. The specimens in the lierbariunis of Dr. 
Gray and Dr. Torrey differ, like these, from British American specimens as 
described by Hooker and by Rohrback, in being decidedly a Lychnis, w iih 
5 (very rarely 4) styles, and a 5-(very rarely 4-) toothed capsule, whi. li is 
also more or less stipitate, and not at all 3-celled at l^asc. In the Weber 
and Bear River Valleys and in the Uintas; 6-9,000 iect altitude; June- 
August. (154.) 
Lychnis nuda. Minutely pubescent; stems erect, slender; leaves nar- 
rowly oblanceolate, the cauline nearly linear, 2-3 pairs; flowers few, (2-5,) 
on slender alternate pedicels ; calyx obovate, becoming much iuilat.'d : linil) of 
the petals 4-lobed, exceeding the calyx; capsule upon a very >hor( tliiek 
stipe; seeds tuberculately margined.-With the lia]>it of Siknr lh,a^las,..
