(1656.) M. luteus, Linn. Dr. Gray, in his supplement, seems to 

 make the typical form of this species to belong exclusively to the 

 coast. Following out this view we place all our Rocky Mountain 

 specimens under the variety. 



Var. alpinus, Gray. Abundant in some stream valleys, but more 

 particularly about mountain springs and cascades in the narrow valleys 

 of the Selkirk Mountains, B.C. (Macoun.} 



(2200.) M. nasutus, Greene. This species has been confounded 

 with M. luteus in our collections as a depauperate form of that species, 

 but it is easily separated by its usually laciniate leaves and being purely 

 annual. At Victoria, Vancouver island, it flowers very early and dies 

 away, the seeds germinate during the autumn rains, and the young 

 plants are ready to flower in April. Gathered by all collectors. Dr. 

 Gray, in his supplement, gives its range to British Columbia. 



(2201.) M. floribundus, Dougl. Occasionally found on over- 

 flowed places along Beaver Creek in the Selkirk Mountains, B.C. 

 (Macoun.') 



(1658.) M. moschatus, Dougl. Junction of the Quebec and St. 

 John Railway, Q, (St. Cyr.) Possibly a garden escape. 



449. VERONICA.

(1674.) V. alpina, Linn. Port Burwell, Cape Chudleigh, Hudson 

 Strait. (jR. Bell.) Abundant in mountain meadows and along brooks, 

 from Silver City westward in the Bow River valley, Rocky Mountains, 

 also common at the Selkirk summit, B.C. (Macoun.) 



450. CERARDIA. 



(1685.) C. tenuifolia, Vahl. The Lonely Lake specimens refer- 

 red to this species, belong to the variety added below. 



Var. asperula, Gray, Supplement, Syn. Fl. 452. Stony Moun- 

 tain, Man. (J. M. Macoun.) It is probable that this form is Douglas's 

 plant and has been confounded with the G-. aspera of the south, which 

 is quite distinct from the Manitoba plant. The locality may be the 

 same with that from which Douglas obtained his specimens.
