labeled Streptopus brevipes, Baker, which accurately agree 
with my fruiting specimens and with Baker’s description of 
S.? brevipes. As pointed out to me by Dr. Rydberg, Curator 
of the Bronx Herbarium, my fowering specimens accurately 
agree with the elaborate description of Regel. The position, 
therefore, seems to be that a fruiting plant has been named 
Streptopus? brevipes, and the flowering condition of the 
same plant has been called Kruhsea Tilingiana. Apart from 
the priority of the latter name, sufficient distinctive features 
exist in the present plant to give it generic rank. The 
slightly amplexicaul leaves, the rotate, claret and green 
flowers with their perigynous stamens, the absence of a style 
and the very rudimentary indication of a three-lobed stigma, 
all contrast with the amplexicaul leaves of Streptopus, its 
funnel-shaped, white or pink flowers, the hypogynous 
stamens and the style with three-lobed or divided stigma. 
In the “Proceedings of the American Academy” for 1879, 
Volume XIV, page 269, Dr. Sereno Watson states that 
Eschscholtz’s specimens collected at Sitka and referred to 
Kruhsea Tilingiana, belong to Sireptopus roseus, Michx. 
He continues, “On the other hand, the Streptopus roseus of 
Wright's collection in Ochotsk Sea is the same as Tiling’s 
plant (from the same locality), upon which Kruhsea was 
founded, but is properly a Streptopus (1. e., Streptopus 
ajanensis, Tiling).’”’ As Dr. Watson does not offer any 
evidence to establish his statement, the present specimens 
seem to confirm the identity of the series. From a phy- 
togeographical standpoint the present specimen acquires 
exceptional interest as the plant is now recorded from 
Glacier (Farr), Cascades (Lyall), Sitka (Esch.), Ajan 
(Tiling), Amur (Maxim.). Probably owing to lack of 
fresh material, Regel, Tiling and Maximowicz have over- 
looked the strongly recurved, green-tipped condition of the 
perianth segments, their evident differentiation into sepals 
and petals, and the sessile stigma.
