(141) Leontodon sp., perennial ; on the sandy shores of river. 



(142) Achillea sp., perennial; flowers white; abundant, probably 

 A. Milk folium. 



(143) ^rtewmasp., perennial; on shores of river. 



(144) Erigeron ; perennial ; the same as collected before, but in a more 

 luxuriant state. 



(145) Syngenesia ; annual ; in open dry places and on the shores of 

 river ; flowers yellow ; a very beautiful low plant, 1 foot to 18 inches high. 



(146) Stellaria sp., perennial; flowers white; in partially shaded 

 places on the edges of woods ; not uncommon. 



(147) Trifolium (?) ; (this is by no means Trifoliwn ; May 5) ; a very 

 singular small plant ; seed vessels small, short, on very short stalks, which 

 with the seeds are buried in the sand ; on Menzies Island ; obtain seeds 

 of this curiously interesting plant. S. 



(147 [bis]) Claytoniasp., may prove Claytonia perfoliata ; in all rich open 

 spots, particularly where the elk or other animals scratch the ground 

 so as to destroy the stronger herbage, this with the other species are 

 sure to take possession of the soil. 



Myosotis sp., more perfect specimens than those I had before ; agrees 

 in every other respect with them. 



Cerastium sp. ; agrees with the one collected some days ago. 



(148) Valeriana sp., annual; a small plant, 6 to 10 inches high; in 

 open dry soils on the plains ; different from the other ; flowers small, faint 

 pink. 



(149) Populus, female ; a very large tall tree, 60 to 100 feet high, to 

 12 diameter ; all the low banks of the river are covered with it. 



(150) Scrophularia sp., perennial ; 4 to 6 feet high ; margins of rivers, 

 pools, and all moist situations, plentiful. 



(151) Myosotis sp., annual ; hirsute, branching ; leaves long, entire ; 

 linear-lanceolate ; flowers bright yellow ; tube long ; mouth of the 

 corolla spreading, with a dark spot opposite the teeth ; seeds not yet 

 known ; this very interesting species was found on Menzies Island in 

 company with Mr. Scouler, who agreed with me to call it Myosotis Hookeri 

 after Dr. Hooker of Glasgow ; scarce, only three specimens of it were 

 found, two of which are in my possession. I have since found it in 

 abundance near all the Indian lodges above the Rapids of the Columbia. ~) S. 



(152) Phlox sp., annual; cauline leaves lanceolate, smooth; floral 

 stem minutely pubescent ; floral leaves lanceolate, somewhat pubescent 

 and ciliated ; flowers small, beautiful pink, in large clusters at the top ; 

 corolla-tube long ; whole plant branching, 6 to 16 inches high ; seeds 

 mucilaginous ; very abundant on Menzies Island, in open places and in 

 sandy light soils on the banks of rivers ; prefers rich moist places ; will 

 prove Cottomia of Nuttall, which is also a trifling generic distinction. S. 



(153) Veronica sp., perennial; moist places; abundant; may prove 

 F. Beccabunga. 



(154) Salix sp., male ; a large tree ; banks of rivers.
