1825, JULY. PLANTS COLLECTED 139 



little girl twelve years of age, a relation of his own) would make me some 

 hats like the chief's hats from England. I made a short stay, always 

 collecting what came under my notice ; on the 5th August I made some 

 small presents of tobacco, knives, nails, and gun fliuts, and then left for 

 my residence up the river to Fort Vancouver, which occupied two and a 

 half days. Collected the following plants : 



(419) Santolina sp. ; perennial ; a strong plant, 2 to 3 feet high ; flowers 

 yellow ; on the seashore ; abundant. 



(420) Lathyrus sp. ; perennial ; flowers large bluish-purple ; a 

 splendid strong-growing plant ; the roots are large, run deep in the 

 sand, and are eaten by the natives in a raw state ; abundant. S. 



(421) Rosa ; a very strong plant, 10 to 14 feet high, with large globular 

 fruit ; probably I have it in blossom ; abundant on the banks of rivers ; 

 very luxuriant in light rich dry soils. S. 



(422) Samolus Valerandi (?) ; in shady places near the edges of creeks 

 and mountain springs ; plentiful. 



(423) Sagina procumbens (?) ; in the same place. 



(424) Prunella sp. ; probably only a variety of what was collected 

 before, only more luxuriant ; leaves more acute ; in moist ground. 



(425) Rhinanthus Crista-galli ; in sandy, open, dry meadows ; 

 abundant. 



(426) Lupinus sp. ; perennial ; stem slender, creeping ; leaves 

 digitate, leaflets five to seven, linear, silky on both sides ; peduncles long ; 

 seed-vessel pubescent, eight to twelve-seeded, generally ten seeds, small 

 and mottled ; root large, spreading, with small tubercles ; roots when 

 large are roasted by the natives and sometimes chewed raw ; plentiful 

 on the seashore; Lupinus tuberosus. S. 



(427) Trifolium sp. ; perennial : flowers large, light red ; plentiful 

 near the sea. 



(428) Lonicera sp. ; shoots small, slender, hirsute ; leaves opposite, 

 ovate, obtuse, nearly sessile, pubescent on both sides ; this little plant I 

 could not find in flower or fruit ; this I regretted the more as I have no 

 doubt of its not being described ; abundant on rocky and gravelly soils 

 near the ocean, and on the banks of rivers. 



(429) (?); Leguminosae, in an imperfect state, on the seashore; 



obtained only one specimen.

 growing. S.

 mountain springs ; plentiful.

 very large fruit ; on the seashore north of Cape Disappointment ; rare.
