 grass & Heller, no. 670 (hb. Gr.). James Isl. : James Bay, on blnflf's 

 near the beach, Snodg)-ass & Heller, no. 377 (hb. Gr.). Although I 

 have not seen original material of Andersson's B. glandulosa I find plants 

 from Albemarle collected by jNIessrs. Snodgrass & Heller, which corre- 

 spond so closely with Andersson's description that I cannot avoid the con- 

 clusion that they represent just what Andersson had. Nevertheless the 

 plants seem to be only starved and dwarfed B. viscosa, growing as 

 Andersson savs in loci's sterilissimis. Further distrib. S. W. United 

 States, Mex., W. S. Am. southward to Chili.
