MOUNT RAINIER 



Trillium ovatum Pursh. 



The wake-robin is plentiful at 3,000 feet altitude. 



Tofieldia intermedia Rydberg. 



This species has been confused with both T. glutinosa and 7*. 

 occidentals. From the former it differs principally in its seed 

 characters, otherwise being so similar that there are no distinguish- 

 ing characters in the flowering specimens. All the Cascade Moun- 

 tain specimens apparently belong to T. intermedia, because no 

 plant with the seed character of T. glutinosa has as yet been found 

 in that range of mountains. 



Veratrum viride Aiton. 



The green hellebore forms considerable clumps, three or four 

 feet high. It is frequent on moist slopes in Paradise Park. 



Stenanthium occidentale Gray. 



Goat Mountains, Allen, 233. Also collected on Mount Rainier 

 by Rev. E. C. Smith, in 1890. 



Xerophyllum tenax (Pursh) Nuttall. 



The so-called pine-lily or bear-grass is not rare in gravelly soil 

 in rather open woods. Straggling specimens are found up to 

 5,500 feet altitude. 



JUNCACEAE. (Rush Family.) 



Juncoides glabratum (Hooker) Sheldon. 

 Dry, grassy slopes at 5,000 feet. 



Juncoides majus (Hooker) Piper. 



(Luzula arcuata major Hooker.) 



(Juncoides piperi Coville.) 



The plants referred here occur at 7,000 feet altitude, in springy 

 places. Allen, No. 44, and Piper, 2172, are identical with Tolmie's 

 Mount Rainier specimens. 



Juncoides parviflorum (Ehrhart) Coville. 

 Common on dry slopes up to 5,000 feet elevation. 



Juncoides spicata (Linnaeus) Kuntze. 



Rather rare in damp places in the pumice fields, at 8,000 feet 

 altitude. 



Juncus subtriflorus (E. Meyer) Coville. 

 Common at 5,000 to 6,000 feet elevation. 



Juncus parryi Engelmann. 



Much like the preceding, and growing along with it. 



Juncus mertensianus Bongard. 



Frequent along rills even up to 8,000 feet altitude.
