Bryantkm GnieliniDoiSi. — 11,910. ''Planta rarissima!" 1 found this 

 interesting species only in a single place on Bering Island, although it 

 probably is distributed over. the island. The spot where I collected 

 it is a rounded hill, about 300 feet high, just behind the fishing set- 

 tlement of Saranna, at the northern shore of the island. The hill 

 rises up from the shore of Lake Saranna, and is the first one when 

 following the track of the dog sledges to the main village. It was 

 by no means uncommon in that locality, and was flowering on the 

 date I found it, the 22d of August, 1882.
