PIPER FLORA OP THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 529 



Zonal distribution: Transition. 



The northwestern specimens that have been referred to S. pauciflorus (Robbins) Howell 

 belong apparently to S. mollis. 



3. Symphoricarpos acutus (A. Gray) Howell, Fl. N. W. Am. 281. 1900. 



Symphoricarpos mollis acutus A. Gray, Syn. Fl. 1^ : 14. 1878. 



Symphoricarpos vaccinoides Rydberg, Mem. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 1: 371. 1900. 



Type locality: "Washington Terr., east of the Cascade Mountains." Collected by 

 Pickering and Breckenridge. 



Range: Washington and Oregon to Montana. 



Specimens examined: Without locality, Pickering & BrecTcemidge; Mount Adams, 

 Suksdorf 188; Egbert Springs, Sandberg <& Leiberg 367; Simcoe Mountains, Howell 328; 

 Wenache Mountains, Whited 1282; Nile River, Henderson 2565; Blue Mountains, Piper 

 2394; without locality, Vasey in 1889. 



Zonal distribution: Arid Transition and Canadian? 



The type of S. acutus has unusually narrow leaves, but it seems not distinguishable from 

 S. vaccinoides. This species is near S. rotundifolius A. Gray, to which specimens have 

 commonly been referred. 



Symphoricarpos occidentalis a is said in the original description to have been collected 

 at "Fort Vancouver" by Douglas; Cooper also lists this species as "common." 



With little doubt these references belong to S. racemosus, as no trace of S. occidentalis 

 has been found by recent collectors in Washington.
