34 ERYTHEA. 
and rather distant pinnae; calyx saucer-shaped, its short 
rounded lobes greenish-yellow; stamens 5, alternate with the 
petals, filaments subulate, spreading; stigma slightly 2- 
lobed. 
Along small streams and wet places, Cascade Mountains of 
Oregon and Washington. Collected by Elihu Hall in 1871, 
n. 164, and referred to M. trifida, Graham, from which it is 
very distinct: that is a more slender plant with taller 
scapes, and white flowers in a secund cernuous spike. 
Saxifraga Oregana. Scapose stem stout, 2 to 4 feet high, 
from a short perennial caudex, sparingly pubescent with 
brownish hairs; leaves oblanceolate, 4 to 10 inches long, 
entire, acute, attenuate below to a margined petiole: inflor- 
escence viscid-glandular, flowers in panicled cymes; calyx 
attached to the ovary only at the very base; petals white, 
obovate, obtuse, 2 lines long, longer ‘than the triangular, 
acute or acuminate soon reflexed calyx-lobes; ovary pyra- 
midal, styles short, stigmas capitate; carpels distinct, seeds 
flattish, slightly winged. 
Not rare in the mountain marshes of Oregon and Wash- 
ington. This is one of the five or six species that have been 
referred to S. integrifolia but differs from that species in 
being very much larger and having more acuminate and 
deeply divided follicles. 
Ribes acerifolium. Stems ascending, 3 to 8 feet long, 
unarmed; leaves 2 to 3 inches in diameter, truncate or 
slightly cordate at base, deeply 3 to 5-lobed, the ovate lobes 
doubly incised, glabrous above, often resinuous dotted 
beneath, petioles as long or longer than the blade, rather 
abruptly dilated and ciliate at base: racemes pubescent; 
bracts linear lanceolate as long as the slender pedicels: 
petals red, narrowly spatulate, a line long; calyx limb rotate 
with broad-spatulate lobes, the tube small and saucer- 
shaped; anthers broader than long, filaments flat, a line or 
more long; style deeply cleft: fruit purple or black, spar- 
ingly glandular-bristly.
