The Blue Mountains specimens are not typical, and probably represent a new subspecies. 



10. Alsine ■washingtoniana (Robinson) Heller, Cat. N. A. PI. ed. 2. 4. 1900. 

 Stellaria washingtoniana Robinson, Bot. Gaz. 26: 166. 1898.

8. S AGIN A. 



Herbage glandular-puberulent 3. S. ciliata. 



Herbage glabrous. 



Stems slender; leaves scarcely fleshy \. 8. ocddentalis. 



Stems rather stout ; leaves fleshy 2. S. crassicaulis. 



1. Sagina occidentalis S. Wats. Proc. Am. Acad. 10: 344. 1875. 



Type locality: "In the valleys and borders of salt marshes from Oregon to San 

 Francisco." 



Range: British Columbia to California. 



Specimens examined: Olympic Mountains, Piper; Seattle, Smith 744; Piper 470; 

 Coupeville, Gardner 47, 48; Mount Rainier, Piper 2631, 745; Bridge Creek, Elmer. 



2. Sagina crassicaulis S. Wats. Proc. Am. Acad. 18: 191. 1883. 

 Type locality: "On Dillon's Beach, Marin County, California." 

 Range: Washington to California. 



Specimens examined: Port Orchard, Piper 2312; Ocosta, Henderson, June 26, 1892; 

 Ilwaco, Henderson, September, 1885; Piper 4996. 



The species of this genus are illy defined, and we seriously doubt that S. crassicaulis and 

 S. occidentalis are really distinct. Alpine forms here referred to the latter have been con- 

 sidered to be S. linnaei Presl {S. saginoides (L.) Britt.), which, indeed, may be correct. 



3. Sagina ciliata (Greene). 



Alsinella ciliata Greene, Fl. Fran. 126. 1891. 



Type locality: "Vicinity of lone," California. 



Range : Washington to California.
