RHUS GLABRA SEGREGATE; I47 



Pacific coast), having leaves much smaller in proportion and of a 

 peculiar cut, narrow, very obtuse, with a leaning to spatulate. 



In the year of 1889, month of June, the writer found at Willow 

 City, Bottineau County, a flowering Dodecatheon of small size 

 (about 2 dm. high), the growth probably inhibited in part by the 

 extreme drought of the entire season. It is lamentable that the 

 specimen was lost, especially on account of the impossibility to 

 find another one of its kind before the present year, 24 years 

 intervening. It had been found, I believe 10 years ago, at Laureat, 

 Rolette County, by Miss Lela Lovell, now of Minneapolis, and 

 at Thorne, in the same county at a distance of only a few miles 

 from Laureat, four years ago by Prof. C. B. Waldron of the North 

 Dakota Agricultural College, and, thanks to the detailed notes 

 I received from him, I succeeded in securing the fruiting plant on 

 the nth of July last in the locality where it was discovered by 

 him. I hardly need to add that the species has been named 

 from its habitat. The plant produces an abundance of seeds, and it 

 would unquestionably be well established in moderately moist 

 meadows. But I could not find it where cattle was grazing, and 

 the forbidden spots are scarce. It is therefore no wonder that this 

 species has apparently a desperate struggle for its existence.
