1 Rubus arcticus var. grandiflorus, S. Wats. Bibl. Ind. N. Am. Bot. p. 314. 



' : Selaginella denticulata, Baker, Handb. Fern. Allies, p. 37, but this is a native 

 of the Mediterranean region, so Douglas must have made a slip of the pen. Did he 

 intend to write Lycopodium dendroideum 1 which is referred to L. obscurum, Baker, 

 loc. cit., p. 24. 



3 Chimaphila umbellata, A. Gray, Syn. Fl. N. Am. ii. I. p. 45.
