PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 



Nutt., a form of T. palustre, DC. " In the mountains, at middle elevations, 

 in wet ground ; different from T. Bens I eon is, which was also met with, truly 

 indigenous." (In the high alpine region were collected a few specimens of 

 mother form,— viz. : of a very depauperate T. Icevtyaium, DC.) 



CAMPANULACE.E. 



358. Campanula ROTrxDiFOLiA, L., an ordinary form. 359. C- Langsdokf- 

 fia>a, Fischer; excellent specimens of Parry's 266, exTTTbiting the same 

 characters. It is said to be " very common in thesubalpine region and lower, 

 in wet ground." 360. C. uxiflora, L. "Pike's Peak ; high alpine." 361. 

 C. aparinoides, PuriE, a depauperate form. 



ERICACEiE. 



ffi_2_ . Vaccinium myrtillus, L. "Alpine and subalpine;" in flower and 

 fruit, connecting the small-leaved form with the ordinary European plant. 

 363. V. c^spitosum, Michx. 364. Arctostapuylos Uva-Ursi. Sprang. 365. 

 Saultheria Myrsinites, Hook, 36(3. Pyrola bbcunda, L. JS67. P. rotusdi- 

 folia, L., var. uliginosa, Gray. 368. P. ciiloraktha, Bwwfa ; a small form. 

 369. P. (Monebes) uniflora, L. 370. Kalmia glauca, L., the very dwarf 

 form from the "high alpine" region. 371. Pterospora Andromepea, Nutt. 



PLANTAGINACE^l. 



372 . Pl vntago eriopoda, Torr. (For the synonymy, see Proceed. Amer. 

 AcacT, 6, p. 55, note.) 373. Apparently the same species, with hardly any wool 

 at the crown, — which happens mother species. u High alpine, near perpetual 

 snow." 374. P. Patagomca, Lam., var. gnaghalioides, Gray. 



PRIMULACEJt 



375. Androsace filiformis, Retz. "Subalpine; not rare."* 376 . A. sep- 

 tentrionalis, L. " Below the subalpine region and also alpine. "t 3jL7. a - 

 occidentals, Nutt. M On the plains." 202. A. ChamjEJAsme, L. (A. carinata, 

 Torr.) High alpine on Pike's Peak, where Dr. James collected it. 3J8. Pri- 

 mula farisosa, L., var. foliis sessilibus ; umbella capitata; calyce eylinclraceo 

 tubum corollae subsequante. P. clealbata, Engelm. in litt. But it exactly 

 accords with the left-hand figure of P. farinosa, var. Afagellanica of Hooker's 

 Flora Antarctica (P. decipiens, Duby), and with my Antarctic specimens, ex- 

 cept that the calyx is perhaps a- little longer, and the corolla bluish-purple. 

 Mr. Burke collected the same form on the Rocky Mountains farther north , but 

 with the tube of the corolla a little exserted. Bourgeau collected specimens 

 in the Saskatchawan district, having this elongated calyx-tube along with pedi- 

 cels of ordinary length. It is interesting thus to connect the Antarctic with 

 the northern forms, by specimens from the Rocky Mountains in about lat. 40°. 

 379. P. Parryi, Gray, Enum. PL Parry, No. 311. "Alpine and subalpine ; 

 common." This holds its characters, except that the specimens of 18(52 are 

 generally less luxuriant, and the divisions of the corolla less bifid ; indeed, in 

 some of those of Dr. Parry's later collection they are barely emarginate ; and 

 in a few of them the calyx is very little glandular, and its lobes are ovate- 

 lanceolate. The longer pedicels of the umbel are 1J to 2 inches, or in fruit 

 even 3£ inches, in length. Capsule short-ovid, half an inch long, slightly 

 shorter than the calyx-lobes. The thick root is said by Dr. Parry to be very 



indrosace fiiUformis, Kvtz.,a Siberian species, of which beautiful specimens are in th^ collec- 



ts whose collet-lion it was mistaken tor A. septenti From the latter, bejoud the characters 



assigned by authors, it is well distinguished by its almost hemispherical calyx, scam-ly if at all 

 angled, and with short and ttat, not tVdiaceous teeth. 



t l>i. Parry's 313 a of 1802 the high alpine form of this.
