Our plant is clearly the E. giganteum figured in Curtis's Botanical Magazine (pi. 0714) 

 which Hooker suspects is the E. giganteum Lindl. 



We incline to the belief that the E. revolutum Smith, a collected by Menzies on "King 

 George's Sound" is the plant here called E. giganteum. But Mr. Carl Purdy retains that 

 name for a closely allied species ranging from the Columbia River to Mendocino County, 

 California, which may also range up the Washington coast to the vicinity of "King 

 (ieorge's Sound," i. e., the Gulf of Georgia.
