Lake, B.C. Lat. 58'' 30'. {Dr. G. M. Dawson.) The western 

 specimens differ slig-htly from those from the east, but seem 

 referable here. This plant is readily disting'uished from V. 

 hlanda, V. renijolia, and V. amcenahy its "stout scaly-looking 

 and elong-ated root-stock and by its notably toothed foliage, 

 the leaves in all the others being crenate, the proper teeth

 Sable Island, N.S.
