402 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 



Epilohlum paniculatum is a very variable species, or perhaps a complex of several. Suks- 

 dorf, besides recognizing E. jucundu?)! as a valid species, proposes two others, E. aprlcum 

 and E. fasciculafum .« 



5. Epilobium. minutum Lindl.; Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. 1: 207. 1833. 



Type locality: "North-West coast of America. Fort Vancouver. Near the Grand 

 Rapids of the Columbia." Collected at these points respectively by Menzies, Scouler, and 

 Douglas. 



Range: British Columbia to California in the coast region mainly. 



Specimens examined: Seattle, Pi/?e/' 459; Whidby Island, C'a/'rfwf?' 123; Cascade Moun- 

 tains, latitude 49°, Zyai/; Silverton, Bouck; Mount Stuart, ^Zmer 1203; Nisqually Valley, 

 Allen 253; west Klickitat County, Suksdorf 81, 2108, IS; Rock Lake, Sandberg & Leiberg 

 109; Blue Mountains, Hormr 290. 



Zonal distribution: Transition. 



A rather variable species, but it will require further material and study to determine how 

 many of the forms are worthy of recognition. Torrey and Gray recognized E. minutum 

 foliosHm,b based on Nuttall's MSS. name E.foliosum. Haussknecht c recognized three sub- 

 species, namely, stenophyllum {=folioswn Nutt.), platyphyUum, and adenophorum. 



Suksdorff' considers /o/(osum a good species and also describes A. minutum canescens and 

 A. foliosum glabrum. 



6. Epilobium palustre L. Sp. PI. 1: 348. 1753. 

 Ty'pe locality. European. 



Range: Alaska to Washington, Colorado, and Canada. Europe. Asia. 

 Specimens examined: Falcon Valley, Sul-sdorf37-l. 



7. Epilobium franciscanum Barliey in Brewer & Wats. Bot. Cal. 1: 220. 1876. 

 Type locality: " Neai' San Francisco," California. 



Range: Washington to California. 



Specimens examined: Lake Kalispcl, Kreager, July 30, 1902: Spokane, Piper 2269. 

 Zonal distribution: Arid Transition. 



The specimen listed by Suksdorf as E. ivatsoni Barbey is the same as the Spokane plant 

 above mentioned. 



8. Epilobium adenocaulon Haussk. Oestr. Bot. Zeitschr. 29: 119. 1879. 

 Type locality: Ohio. 



Range: British Columbia to New Brunswick, south to California, Colorado, and Pennsyl- 

 vania. 



Specimens examined: Clallam County, Elmer 2568; Montesano, Heller 3992, 3974; 

 Mount Constitution, Henderson 24G0; Seattle, Piper 102: Sumas Prairie, Lyall in 1858-59;

 2462; Coulee City, Lake cfe Hull 174, 744: Alkali Lake, Sandberg cfc Leiberg 412; Spokane, 

 Piper 3515. 



Zonal distribution: Upper Sonoran and Transition. 



A very variable species. The specimens referred in Cooper's Report to Epilobium tetra- 

 gonum L. doubtless belong here. 



8a. Epilobium adenocaulon occidentale Trelease, Rep. Mo. Bot. Gard. 2: 95. 1891. 



Type locality: Beaver City. Utah. 



Range: Washington to California and Arizona. 



Specimens examined: Wenache, WMied in 1895, 1300; Beaver Creek, Whited 3; Spo- 

 kane, Piper, June 25, 1897; Pullman, Piper 3056, 3057, 1632; Hull 792.
