1 have before me a photograph of the type of this species and some frag- 

 ments from the Kew Herbarium. Andersson's description is correct except 

 the statement " capsulis glabris," the old ovaries being hairy at the top and 

 on the pedicel. Peculiar are the rather long and thin stigmas and the styles 

 whicli measure up to 2 mm. This may partly be due to the fact tliat the 

 flowers are okl. With the exception of the uppermost the bracts are covered 

 with long straight silky hairs, but at the top of the ament there is a pu- 

 bescence of curled hairs. The gland is relatively narrow, and as long as the 

 pedicel. The leaves of the type are only half developed and are blackened 

 in drying. I have not been able to recognize stomata in the upper surface. 



The type ranges, as Coville already has said, in Alaska throughout the 

 southern coast region '* from Dixon entrance northward and westward as far 

 as Unalaska.'* The original specimens were collected in 1839 at a point 

 near Cape (ireville on Kadiak Island, Alaska, by George Barclay, the bo- 

 tanical collector of the British ship '* Sulphur." From British Columbia I 

 have seen material from Lake Atlin in the northwest, from Yellow Head 

 Pass in Caribou County, and many specimens from New Westminster and 

 Kootenay Counties. In Alberta the species occurs in Fdson (Jasper Park) 

 and Rocky Mountain Districts. In the United States typical S. Bardayi 

 is found in Washington (Clallam, Chelan, Okanogan, Kittitas, Pierce and 

 Skamania Counties), and in Montana (Teton and Cascade Counties, and 

 in the vicinity of '' Trail Lake," a locality I have not been able to identify; 

 also E. C. Shear's no. 209 from the Electric Peak in the nortliern Yel- 

 lowstone Park seems at least in part to belong to this species, as probably 

 does also no. 110 of the same collector [fr. im.; W.]), Specimens like A.Nel- 

 son's nos. 7781 and 8947 from the Albany County in Wyoming need further 

 observation and may be more closely related to S. monticola. In 1867, 

 Andersson described 3 varieties, rot undi folia, grandijolia and angustijolia 

 The first is nothing but the type which is cited under rotundifolia by the
