DouGLASiA DENTATA. Rather stout, branching, canescent with 

 a fine mostly dense pubescence : leaves rosulate at the nodes, thick, 

 oblong, obtusish, mostly with 1 to 3 blunt teeth on each side toward 

 the summit, 4 to 6 lines long : peduncle (an inch long) bearing a 

 simple few-flowered umbel ; pedicels very unequal (2 to 1 2 lines long) : 

 calyx narrowed at base, 3 lines long in fruit, the acuminate lobes 

 nearly as long as the tube : capsule oblong, slightly stipitate, equalling 

 the calyx-tube. — In the Cascade INIountains, on a dry ridge above 

 Peshaston Canon, Yakimah County, Washington Territory ; collected 

 by myself, in fruit, October, 1880. Near D. Iccvigata, Gray. 



Pedicularis FuuBisiiiiE. Stem simple or sparingly branched, 

 leafy, pubescent, about 3 feet high : lower leaves on slender petioles, 

 more or less completely pinnate, with pinnatifid segments, the upper 

 sessile and pinnatifid ; lobes acutely toothed, slightly white-margined ; 

 bracts very broadly ovate, cuneate at base, irregularly laciniate : calyx 

 short (3 or 4 lines long), the five lanceolate teeth usually laciniate at 

 the apex ; corolla greenish yellow, narrow, 8 lines long, the suberect 

 galea a little exceeding the lip, its cucullate summit truncate and often 

 shortly bicuspidate : capsule ovate, oblique, about equalling the calyx: 

 seeds oblong-ovate, flattened and somewhat wing-margined, the testa 

 loose, light-colored, and finely rectangular-pitted. — On wet banks of 

 the St. John's River, at Van Buren, Arostook County, Maine, and 

 extending along the river for sixty miles. Dedicated to its discoverer, 

 Miss Kate Furbish, whose careful study of the flora of her State, and 

 perseverance and success in illustrating it by colored drawings of all 

 the species, richly deserve an appropriate recognition. The species 

 is allied to P. Canadensis and P. bracteosa. It may be worth the 

 while to note the differences in the seeds of these species, which in 

 P. Canadensis are ovate and turgid, with a close thin brownish testa, 

 and in P. bracteosa are oblong, somewhat concavo-convex, and with 

 3 to 5 strong corky longitudinal ribs. 



MiRABiLis TENUiLOBA, Viscid-pubescent, and resembling M. 

 Californica, from which it may be distinguished by its more acute 

 or somewhat acuminate cordate leaves, and by the larger involucre (4 

 or 5 lines long), cleft to or below the middle, the segments narrowly 

 lanceolate. — In San Bernardino County, California ; W. G. Wright, 

 1880. 



OxYBAPHCs LiNEARiFOLius. Slender, 2 feet high, with spreading 

 branches from alternate axils, glabrous excepting the pubescent pe- 

 duncles, involucres and flowers : leaves linear, attenuate to the base, 

 the lower 3 or 4 inches long : peduncles very slender, spreading or
