402 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 



EpUobium }xiniculatum is a very variable species, or perhaps a complex of several. Suka- 

 dorf, besides recognizing E. jucundum as a valid species, proposes two others, E. apricum 

 and' E.fasciculatum. a , 



6. Epilobium minutxim Lindl.: Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. 1: 207. 1833. 



TiPE locality: "North-West coast of America. Fort Vancouver. Near the Grand 

 Rapids of the Columbia," Collected at these points respectively by Menzies, Scouler, and 

 Douglas. 



Range: British Columbia to California in the coast region mainly. 



Specimens examined: Seattle, Piper 459; Whidby Island, (Gardner 123; Cascade Moun- 

 tains, latitude 49°, Lyall; Silverton, Bouck; Mount Stuart, Elmer 1203; Nisqually Valley, 

 Alien 253; west Klickitat County, Suksdorf 81, 2108, 18; Rock Lake, Sandberg tfe Leiberg 

 109; Blue Mountains, Homer 290. 



2iONAL distribltion: Transition. 



A rather variable species, but it will require further material and study to determine how 

 many of the forms are worthy of recognition. Torrey and Gray recognized E. minutum 

 folio8um,f> based on Nuttall's MSS. name E.foliosum. Haussknecht c recognized three sub- 

 species, namely, sUnophyUum {=foliosum. Nutt.), ptatyphyUum, and adenophorum. 



Suksdorf </ coasiders/o/uwum a good species and also describes A. minutum canescens and 

 A.foliosum. glabrum. 



6. EpUobium palustre L. Sp. PI. 1 : 348. 1753. 

 Type locality. European. 



Range: Alaska to Washington, Colorado, and Canada. Europe. Asia. 

 Specimens examined: Falcon Valley, Suksdorf 374. 



7. Epilobiuzn franciscanunx Barbey in Brewer & Wats. Bot. Cal. 1 : 220. 1876. 

 Type lck'ality: " Near San Francisco," California. 



Range: Washington to California. 



Specimens examined: Lake Kalispel, Kreager, July 30, 1902; Spokane, Piper 2269. 

 Zonal distribution: Arid Transition. 



The specimen listed by Suksdorf as E. watsoni Barbey is the same as the Spokane plant 

 above mentioned. 



8. Epilobiiun adenocaulon Haussk. Oestr. Bot. Zettschr. 29: 119. 1879. 

 TiPE locality: Ohio. 



Range: British Columbia to New Brunswick, south to California, Colorado, and Pennsyl- 

 vania. 



Specimens examined: Clallam County, Elmer 2568; Montesano, Heller 3992, 3974; 

 Mount Constitution, Henderson 2460; Seattle, Piper 102; Sumas Prairie, Lycdl in 1858-59; 

 Nisqually Valley, Allen 15; North Yakima, Watt, August, 1895; Henderson 2461; Rattle-

 2462; Coulee City, Lake <& Hull 174, 744; Alkali Lake, Sandberg cfc Leiherg 412; Spokane, 

 Piper 3515. 



Zonal distribution: Upper Sonoran and Transition. 



A very variable species. The specimens referred in Cooper's Report to Epilobium tetra- 

 gonum L. doubtless belong here. 



8a. Epilobium adenocaulon occidentale Trelease, Rep. Mo. Bot. Gard. 2: 95. 1891. 



Type locality: Beaver City, Utah. 



Range: Washington to California and Arizona. 



Specimens examined: Wenache, Whited in 1895, 1300; Beaver Creek, Whited 3; Spo- 

 kane, Piper, June 25, 1897; Pullman, Piper 30.56, 3057, 1632; Hull 792.
