652. DAMASONIUM, Juss. Gen. 46. 



(2423.) D. Californicum, Torrey, Pacif. K. Eep. IV., 142. 



This species, or the one taken for it was growing in abundance in 

 Somas Eiver, at the head of the Alberni Canal, on the west coast of 

 Vancouver Island. The large white flowers were especially attractive 

 and caused me to stop in midstream and pull in shore to gather the 

 plant. Owing to the great heat of the day these became so shrivelled 

 in a short time as to be worthless for specimens, and were thrown 

 away. Only one immature specimen was brought away, August 13th, 

 1887. (Macoun.) 



CXY. NAIADACE^. POND-WEED FAMILY.
