1825, APRIL. PLANTS COLLECTED 113 



(101) Siliculosa, may prove Thlaspi ; annual ; 6 inches ; margins of 

 Columbia River ; abundant. 



(102) Sisymbrium (?), annual ; same place ; 8 to 14 inches high. 1 



(103) Cardamine (?), annual ; flowers small, white ; same situations. 



(104) Sisymbrium (?) sp. ; annual ; 18 inches to 2 feet high 2 ; flowers 

 yellow ; a fine plant, abundant in moist places. 



(105) Cerastium sp., annual ; plains in dry sandy soils ; plentiful. 



(106) Claytonia sp., annual ; flowers white ; probably not different 

 from C. sibirica ; very abundant in damp shady places, in rich vegetable 

 soil near woods and Indian villages ; very luxuriant. 



(107) Geum sp., annual ; flowers small, yellow ; 6 inches to a 

 foot high ; in dry light soil near rivulets, &c., at Point Vancouver ; 

 plentiful. S. 



(108) Does this differ from the other species of Sisymbrium ? May 

 prove the same as 104. 



(109) Rubus sp. ; stem smooth, erect, white ; petiole long ; two linear 

 bracteae at the foot of each ; leaves simple, three to five lobed, pubescent 

 on both sides ; fruit scarlet, flat like R. odoratus ; flowers large, white, 

 fragrant ; petals round or nearly so ; plentiful on the banks of Columbia 

 river, near the ocean. The whole plant differs but little from R. odoratus 

 except flowers white and fruit red. This, I have no doubt, will prove 

 a new species ; fruit rarely to be had, but of a very fine flavour. S. 



(110) Rosa sp. ; stem slender, twiggy, brown, thickly set with slender 

 straight prickles ; leaves nine to eleven, ovate, serrate, smooth ; flowers 

 small, faint pink, very fragrant ; a shrub 2 to 5 feet high ; frequent in 

 dry elevated situations. May be R. blanda, a species plentiful on all 

 elevated gravelly and rocky soils ; fruit not yet ripe. 



(111) (?), allied to Phlox ; annual ; small, low plant ; flowers 



pink and handsome ; on dry sandy soil. S. 



(112) Carex sp. ; alluvial plains, 3 one of the most conspicuous objects ; 

 perennial. 



(113) Hordeum, banks of river, in light soil. 



(114) Gramineae, annual ; same place. 



(115) Actaea sp., shady close woods in dry rich soil. 



Fraxinus, sp. ; scarce, only two trees near the river at Fort Vancouver. 



(116) Lupinus sp., perennial ; stem hirsute ; leaves digitate, leaflets 

 fourteen to seventeen, lanceolate ; flowers partly verticillate, purple and 

 faint red ; appears to differ materially from nootkatensis, to which it comes 

 nearer than any other species ; one of the most magnificent herbaceous 

 plants which have yet come under my notice ; 2 to 4 feet high, frequently 

 having a spike of 18 inches. In rich alluvial plains, abundant. S. 



(117) Lupinus sp., perennial ; leaves digitate, leaflets seven to nine, 

 lanceolate, tomentose ; this comes near Lupinus sericeus of Pursh ; both 

 species are found together in plains and banks of rivers ; on the outskirts 

 of woods, where partially shaded, in light rich soil, they thrive in the
