referred to this species by Mr. Watson, but I cannot think thej are 

 identical as our specimens do not agree with Nuttall's description, as 

 given on page 192. {Torr. & Gray.) At page 675, these authors refer 

 S. multicaule to S. Drummondu, "as a less pubescent and glandular 

 variet}^." Silene Drummondu is now Lychnis Drummondil, and I confess 

 my examinations place our form with the latter genus. (Maconn.)
