184 DOUGLAS' JOURNAL 



(105) Myosotissp.; perennial; leaves alternate, sessile, linear-lanceolate, 

 hispid ; stem very hispid ; flowers white ; stamens enclosed within the yellow 

 orifice ; this very handsome plant, which may prove M. hirsutissima [sic], 

 is found plentifully all over the plains ; a foot to 18 inches high. 



(106) Salvia sp. ; shrubby ; leaves obovate ; petioles short, soft, or 

 somewhat fleshy (under the microscope thickly covered with minute yellow 

 glands) ; flowers verticillate, large, bright blue, surrounded by orbicular- 

 ciliated bracteae ; a splendid shrub, with a powerful and not disagreeable 

 scent ; 2 to 4 feet high ; plentiful on all hilly rocky situations ; this 

 would be a most valuable addition. 



(107) Phlox sp. ; suffruticose ; leaves subulate ; young shoots slightly 

 pubescent ; segments of the calyx subulate, same length as the tube 

 of the corolla ; flowers spreading, faint yellow and white ; this handsome 

 but seemingly very delicate little plant will form also a good addition to 

 that type of splendid plants ; an upright shrub, a foot to 15 inches high ; 

 rare ; on rocks of the Stony Islands and Little Dalles. 



(108) Pentstemon sp. ; perennial ; leaves glabrous, opposite, linear- 

 lanceolate, entire ; flowers very large, bright azure-blue, without a tinge 

 of purple, rose, or any other colour ; sterile filament, short (naked) ; inside 

 of the corolla, smooth ; this resembles P. coeruleus of Nuttall ; climate 

 may make a slight difference (sterile filament, he observes, is bearded 

 and the corolla nearly equally five-cleft, which is not the case with the 

 present) ; 3 to 4 feet high ; seen abundantly in individual plants between 

 Spokane River and Okanagan River, in light soils. 



(109) Malva sp. ; perennial ; leaves partially five-lobed, scabrous ; 

 stem and calyx woolly or tomentose ; flowers small, bright scarlet ; may 

 prove M. coccinea 1 of Nuttall ; found in great abundance over the whole 

 plains and makes the same contrast among other things that the common 

 Papaver does in the fields of Europe. 



(110) Pentandria. Monogynia, annual ; calyx five-leaved, linear ; corolla 

 tubulous ; petiole obtuse, spreading ; style bifid ; capsule one-celled ; 

 seeds numerous ; small oblong radical leaves, sinuate, partly succulent, 

 cauline entire ; stem and calyx beset with glandulous hairs ; flowers blue ; 

 abundant on the plains ; a low plant, a foot high. 



(111) Pentstemon sp. ; perennial ; leaves amplexicaul, cordate- acute, 

 dentate, pubescent ; likewise the stem ; calyx more so ; flowers bright blue 

 and purple, beard of the sterile filament brown ; plentiful on rocks near 

 Okanagan ; a foot to 18 inches high. 



(112) Santolina, perennial ; leaves linear-lanceolate, alternate, tomen- 

 tose ; flowers yellow ; a low plant, 6 to 8 inches high ; plentiful on 

 dry rocks. 



(113) Santolina (?), perennial ; leaves linear, white, alternate, woolly ; 

 flowers white ; 10 to 15 inches high ; plentiful on the plains, in sandy soil. 



(114) Cniciferae, annual ; flowers white, in a thick close spike ; stamens 

 double the length of the corolla ; radical leaves ovate-lanceolate, sinuate, 

 or deeply dentate, glabrous, cauline nearly entire ; a strong-growing plant, 

 4 to 5 feet high ; abundant on the plains, in all soils.
