with woolly hairs. The leaves are narrower than in the next, of which it may be 

 a more hairy variety, and the bark of the branches is browner and pubescent. It 

 may also be a narrow-leafed form of C.jytibescens. 



Little Elk Canyon, altitude 1,200 m., June 28; Rochford, altitude 1,700 m., .July 11 

 (No. 735). 



Cornus stolouifera Mx. Fl. i, 92 (1803). 



The bark is purplish red. the pubescence silky. In fruit only : Sylvan Lake, alti- 

 tude 1,900 m., August 17 (No. 736). 



CAPRIFOLIACEiE. 



Adoxa moschetellina L. Sp. PI. i, 367 (1753). 



Only a few small specimens in hud were secured, below Sylvan Lake, altitude 

 2,000 m., June 3, and a few in fruit, badly damaged by rust, under a rock near Sips 

 Spring, in the Limestone District, altitude 1,900 m., July 28 (No. 737). 



Sambucus racemosa L. Sp. PI. i, 270 (1753). 



Three forms belonging here were collected. In one the annual shoot and the 

 peduncles are more or less roughish-pubescent and warty ; leaves oblong-lanceolate, 

 long acuminate, closely serrate; cyme many-dowered, roundish. The mature fruit 

 was not seen. The cyme resembles that of S. melanocarpa, but the leaves are more 

 like those of .S^. racemosa and the flowers are " dull white, drying brownish." Canyon, 

 north of Runkels, altitude 1,300 m., July 30; Custer, altitude 1,700 m., July 14 

 (No. 738). 



A form which I think is more typical has the shoots perfectly smooth and light 

 colored, leaflets ovate-lanceolate with shorter acuminatioii, cyme longer, but smaller; 

 fruit bright red as in Shepherdia argentea. Sylvan Lake, altitude 2,000 m., August 17 

 (No. 739). 



Together with this form was another in every respect like it, except that the ber- 

 ries were amber yellow, resembling and being the analogue of the amber-colored 

 variety of Shepherdia growing in western Nebraska (No. 740). 



Viburnum opulus L. Sp. PI. i, 268 (1753). 



Canyon north of Runkels, altitude 1,300 m., June 30 (No. 741). 



Viburnum lentago L. Sp. PL i, 268 (1753). 



The margined petioles are often rufous-pubescent as they should be in V. pruni- 

 folium, which is said to grow in the Black Hills. I think, however, that this has 

 been mistaken for that. Little Elk, altitude 1,200 m., June 28; Runkels, altitude 

 1,300 m., June 30 (No. 742). 



Linnaea borealis L. Sp. PL ii, 631 (1753). 



Common in the Northern Hills, but also seen in the Harney Range. Elk Canyon, 

 altitude 1,200 ni.. June 29; Lead City, altitude 1,600 m., July 6 (No. 743). 



Symphoricarpos racemosus pauciflorus Robbius, Gray, Man. ed. 5, 203 (1867). 



Common: Little Elk Canyon, altitude 1,200 m., June 28; Elk Canyon, altitude 

 1,300 m., June' 29; Lead City, altitude 1,600 m., July 6; Rochford, altitude 1,700 m., 

 July 12 (No. 744). 



Symphoricarpos occidentalis Hook. Fl. Bor. Anier. i, 285 (1834). 



Very variable; Mowers few or many; style glabrous or sparsely villose; stout or 

 slender; leaves entire or lobed, large and thick or small and thin. Some forms 

 approaching the preceding. Elk Canyon, altitude 1,200 m., June 29; Hot Springs, 

 altitude 1,100 m., August 9; Custer, altitude 1,700 m., August 12 (No. 745). 



A form with thin, ovate, acute or acuminate, or even pointed leaves, and a thin, 

 less bearded corolla was collected at the last place, August 19 (No. 746). The same 

 has been collected by Dr. Chas. E. Bessey in Colorado. 



Lonicera hirsuta glaucescens, var. nov. ; Lonicera parviflora var. ? Torr. &, Gr. 

 Fl. ii, 7 (1840), partly; Lonicera douglasii Hook. Fl. Bor. Amer. i, 282 (1833) (?), not 

 Caprifolium douglasii Liudl. Trans. Hort. Soc. vii, 244, which is L. hirsuta proper.
