ofMicliaux's plant is "iu excelsis moutibus Carolina'," and it Las not been found out- 

 side the Alleghany iSIountaius, although often collected there. European authori- 

 ties have held that true «S\ utellaris has never been found in America, and that name is 

 here adopted only for convenience.

Paruassia fimbriata Banks; Xoeuig and Sims, Ann. Bot. i, 391 (1805). 



Disenchantment Bay, August 5 (No. 88); abundant on the mountain slopes from 

 180 to 675 meters of altitude, 



Ribes laxiflorum Pursh, Y\. ii,731 (1814). The original specimens were collected 

 by Menzies " on the northwest coast." 



On the east side of Yakutat Bay, near Ocean Cape, May 28 (No. 5). 



The species occurs throughout the forest area in the vicinity of Yakutat Bay and 

 is abundant on the foothills of the mountains. On Mount Tebenkof it extends to an 

 altitude of 575 meters. The specimens are nearly past flowering. The use of the 

 name liihes americantim by Miller' for the plant commonly known as It. Jiuridum pre- 

 vents the use of Pallas's name It. americanum- for the present si)ecies.

Epilobium latifoliuni L. Sp. PI. i, 347 (1753). Type specimen from Siberia. 



On the west side of Yakutat Bay, about 7 miles north of Point Manby, June 28 

 (No. 49), and at Dalton Landing, August 15 (No. 128). The petals in these speci- 

 mens sometimes attain the length of 2.8 cm. The petals, which are very beautiful 

 and delicate, may be described as of a purplish, but pale, rose color. No. 128 is an 

 albino. The species occurred abundantly on the west side of Yakutat Bay, between 

 the beach and the moraine of the Malaspina (ilacier; and along the base of Mount 

 Tebenkof, occasionally rising to an altitude of nearly 500 meters. 



Epilobium luteum Pursh, Fl. i, 259 (1814). Type specimen from the "northwest 

 coast" of North America, collected by Pallas. 



On the eastern side of Yakutat Bay, about 25 kilometers north of the Mission, 

 July 14 (No. 58) ; growing along the beach just above the line of high tide. A few 

 specimens were seen afterwards in the same situation in Disenchantment Bay. 



Epilobium palustre L. Sp. PI. i, 348 (1753). Type specimen from Europe. 



Near the Mission, July 30 (No. 80); found in but one place. The filiform, subter- 

 ranean offshoots characteristic of this species are excellently shown in some of the 

 specimens. Like the similar slender organs of Circcva alp'ma, they are well adapted, 

 in this exceedingly moist climate and iu the moist, loose stratum of moss, leaves, or 

 light soil through which they push their way, to propagate the plant without the 

 loss of strength incident to a greater outlay of vegetative tissue. In a drier climate 

 or a harder soil, much stouter and better protected structures, and consequently a 

 greater expenditure of vital energy, would be required to accomplish the same result. 



Circaea alpina L. Sp. PI. i, 9 (1753). Type specimen from Europe. 



At the mouth of Disenchantment Bay, July 24 (No. 76), among the rocks along the 

 beach.
