Arid places ou the eastern summits of the Rocky Mountains, lat. 52' to 55°. — T Drum- 

 mond, in Hook., Fl. Bor.-Am. 



This is a well-known plant in the Swiss Alps and other moimtainous districts of con- 

 tinental Europe, but its American record is simply that quoted above from Hooker's Flora. 

 Its southern European range is not in favour of its occurrence on the Rocky Mountains, 

 but Sir William Hooker seems to have had no doubt whatever of the identity of Drum- 

 mond's specimens with the European plant. Watson refers them to mullifida, and may be 

 correct, but I know not on what ground. 



6. — Anemone parviflora, Michaux. 



Leaves rounded tripartite, with cuneate, crenately lobed divisions. Involucre usually 

 near the middle of the stem, of 2 or 3 leaves, which are sessile or petioled. Flower solitary, 

 large, sepals 5, oval, white, or the outer surface tinged with blue. Carpels in a globose, 

 compact, woolly head. Plant variable in height, from a foot to 2 or 3 inches in the sub- 

 arctic specimens. In a specimen from the Yukon River the involucre is close to the base, 

 and hid in the radical leaves, the naked flower-stalk six inches long. In Prof Macoun's 

 specimen from North Kootauie Pass, 1883, the root leaves are almost reniform, only slightly 

 incised, not divided, involucre sessile, incisely divided into broad lobes. Hooker, Torrey 

 and G-ray, and other botanists, give the number of sepals as 6 ; they arc probably variable. 

 In all my specimens, 16 in number, in which they can be counted, the number is 5, except 

 in one monstrous flower from York Factory, which has 9 ligulate sepals.
