long- The capsules are from 5 to 7 mm., and the pedicels about 1 mm. 

 long, and from one half to twice (not 3 times) longer than the gland. 



The type was collected by Fernald & Collins in Quebec, Gasjje County, 

 at Mechins, on July 12, 190G (No. 202, fr.; G.), and the species also occurs 

 in Matane County and, as I have already said, in southern Labrador where it 

 has been found by A. C. Waghorne, at Blanc Sablon, July 27, 1893 (No. 1, 

 ex parte, fr.; W.; mkcd with S, planifolia Tursh). Fernald says in his re- 

 marks that S. lanreniiana suggests in its foliage and tomentose branchlets 

 5. amplifolia which, however, can be distinguished at once by its glabrous 

 ovaries, the long style and the absence of stipules; he compares it also with 

 S, glaucophylloides which belongs to section Adenophyllae. In my opinion 

 it comes nearest to S. Hookeriana, but the male plant as I have stated is 



iret 



the real relationship of this interesting species.
