40 mm., or long slender peduncles; seeds, 4 X 1'5 ram.; 

 coma white. 



In bogs, Beaver Creek, Selkirk Mts., B.C., Aug. 14th, 

 1885. {John Macoun.) In one of these specimens " the 

 beak of the seed is very narrow and 3 ram. long." 



(12.) E. Franciscanum, Barbey. 



Of many of our specimens examined by Dr. Trelease, but 

 one collected at Qualicum, Vancouver Island, has been de- 

 finitely refeiTcd to this species. Of other specimens ex- 

 amined by him he says: " Speciraens collected on Vancou- 

 ver Island and in British Colurabia are doubtfully referred 

 here, though they raay belong to adenocaulon. Ihe sraaller, 

 more closely crisp-hairy form approaches the next species. 

 [^E. Watsoni.'] A curious simple plant with large glossy 

 thin leaves, scarcely to be referred elsewhere occurs from 

 Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C. {-Dawson, July 10th, 18t8.)" 



Specimens collected by Prof. Macoun on Vancouver Is- 

 land in 1893 are placed here, though "too near E. adeno- 

 caulon var. occidentale." The speciraens now referred to this 

 species were formerly included under E. coloratum. 



(13.) E. COLORATUM, Muhl. 



Represented in our herbarium by but one specimen from 

 Casselman, Ont. All the eastern speciraens placed under 

 E. coloratum, and most of the western placed under E. color- 

 atum and E. tetragonum in Prof. Macoun's Catalogue of 

 Canadian Plants, (pp. 169-170) have been referred to E. 

 adenocaulon by Dr. Trelease. 



Specimens from Salt Lake, Anticosti ; Little Flat, Rock 

 Portage, Nipigon River, Ont., and Little Slave Lake, 

 N.W.T., are probably coloratum x adenocaulon. 



(14.) E. ADENOCAULON, Hausskn. 



Common from the Atlantic to British Colurabia. Dr. 

 Trelease considere that a very sraall crisp-pubescent form 

 (IJ to 3 inches in height), collected by Prof. Macoun at 

 Brackley Pt., P.E.I. , may be E. ciliatum, Raf.
