occidentalis, Torr. & Gray. Prof. Greene in Flora Fran- 

 ciscana (Pts. I.-IL, p. 190) adopts Nuttall's specific name, 

 but describes Boyhinia occidentalis. Nuttall says "more 

 •or less hirsute with long brownish hairs ;" Greene says 

 " glabrous or glandular pubescent ;" Nuttall says " a very 

 remarkable, robust species ;" Greene says " slender." The 

 leaves of Boykinia occidentalis are " thin — membranaceous," 

 in our specimens referred here they are thick — coriaceous. 

 The stem and petioles in our specimens are densely clothed 

 with long brown or brownish hairs, and this character with 

 the thick leaves makes it impossible to include them with 

 Boykinia occidentalis. Nuttall's description of Saxifraga 

 data answers so well for these plants that they must be 

 referred to that species. We have many sheets of Boy- 

 kinia occidentalis as described by Prof. Greene. 



There seems no good reason why Saxifraga data should 

 ever have been made a synonym of Boykinia occidentalis, 

 but since this has been done and the name Boykinia data 

 used it seems necessary to re-name Nuttall's plant.

TiARELLA LACINIATA, Hook. 



Additional stations for this plant are Union Village, 

 Comox, Vancouver Island, Herb. No. 227, and Goldstream, 

 Vancouver Island, Herb. No. 228. {John Macoun.) Dr. 

 Robinson considers this merely a form of T. trifoliata, but 

 the characters separating it from that species are so well 

 marked in all our specimens that Hooker's T. laciniata 

 seems certainly to be at least a good variety. The con-
