196 DOUGLAS' JOURNAL 



(175 [bis] ) Attium sp. ; perennial ; flowers white ; a small low plant, 

 4 to 5 inches high ; on the mountains near the snow ; plentiful. 



(176 [bis] ) Attium sp. ; perennial; leaves flat, smooth, and glaucous; 

 flowers large, purple, fragrant ; bulb very mild ; a foot to 15 inches 

 high ; on the subalpine hills, in dry soils ; abundant. 



(177 [bis] ) Veratrum (?) sp. ; leaves amplexicaul, ovate, acute, plaited, 

 pubescent below ; flowers white ; a strong plant, 5 to 8 feet high ; on 

 the undulating grounds, banks of rivers and outskirts of woods ; plentiful. 



(178 [bis] ) Tetrandria, Monogynia, biennial; calyx four-partite; corolla 

 four segments, ovate, spreading, with a long gland in the centre of each 

 covered with purple hairs ; flowers faint with purple spots, verticillate, 

 numerous ; leaves verticillate, sessile (generally four), lanceolate, entire, 

 smooth ; a strong plant, 4 to 9 feet high ; abundant on the low hills ; 

 may prove to be Frasera, which for want of seeds cannot be ascertained. 



(179 [bis] ) Oenothera sp. ; biennial ; leaves alternate, sessile, ciliated, 

 slightly pubescent above ; flowers very small, faint purple ; stem 

 pubescent ; 4 to 5 feet high ; near rivers ; abundant. 



(180 [bis] ) Lupinus sp. ; perennial ; leaves digitate, five to nine ; leaflets 

 lanceolate, silky, more so below; stem slightly pubescent; flowers small, 

 white ; a foot to 18 inches high ; this fine plant, which is seen constantly 

 with white flowers, and invariably alone, without any others of the genus, 

 I first saw at Okanagan on the Columbia, and took it at that time 

 only for a variety, and if it proves constant, it will be an addition ; 

 in dry soils, at the foot of the mountains ; abundant. Collected fine 

 specimens of Tigarea l in perfect seed. 



(181) Diadelphia, perennial ; flowers bright red ; calyx deeply five- 

 partite, with a solitary bractea larger than the segment; corolla five- 

 petal ; stamens five, seldom more than three fertile ; pistil exserted ; 

 capsule one-celled, one-seeded ; seed small, orbicular ; leaves pinnate, 

 three, five, seven, glabrous, punctate ; a singular low but branching plant, 

 18 inches to 2| feet high ; on the plains at the foot of the mountains, 

 in small clumps, in light poor soils ; rather rare. 



(182) Asclepias sp. ; perennial ; flowers whitish-yellow ; leaves nearly 

 sessile, ovate, oblong, slightly pubescent beneath ; a strong plant, 

 frequenting low points of land ; near rivers and lakes, common. 



(183) Chenopodium sp. ; perennial ; leaves nearly sessile, slightly 

 dentate, maculate, spots red ; near Indian villages ; common. 



(184) Geum sp. ; perennial ; flowers small, yellow ; on the mountains ; 

 abundant. 



(185) Bartsia sp. ; perennial ; leaves alternate, sessile, entire, linear- 

 lanceolate ; nerves on the back scabrous ; flowers of a deep glossy- 

 scarlet ; plant 2 to 3 feet high, rarely branching ; on the subalpine 

 mountains ; plentiful ; a distinct species from that found near the coast 

 last year.
