inclined to believe so. Mr, Greene has sent me a small flowering : 
specimen collected by Mr. Bates, in 1882, near Fort Yukon, 
Alaska, which seems to me to belong to &. pisocarpa. However, 
I do not wish to announce this determination with certainty; but — 
I am certain that it is not &. acicularis, which Watson cites from . 
the same locality. : : 
R. pisocarpa passes down the Columbia into Washington and a 
Oregon, penetrates California in the Sacramento valley, and, I 
am well assured, reaches Nevada City. ; q 
It now remains to see whether it does not extend towards 
the east and south by the Rocky mountain range, as is the case 
with R. Nutkana. In Idaho Mr. Sandberg has collected, on the} 
shores of Lake Pend d’Oreille. (no. 871), a form reported by 
Mr. Holzinger as R. Californica, which appears to me to bea 
variety of KR. pisocarpa, the same as two other forms obtained by — 
the same collector in Montana (no. 973 and no. 1009) and — 
reported by Mr. Holzinger as R. Fendleri. Mr. Greene, also, has — 
obtained from taaho, near Montpelier, a form which J think — 
should be referred to R. pisocarpa. 1 have from Utah different — 
forms collected by Mr. Jones, among which I think I recognize : 
the type of Gray. Lastly, from Colorado I have received sev- 
eral roses whose specific identity, for want of sufficient material, — 
is perplexing to me; nevertheless I have reason to suppose that : 
R. pisocarpa is among them. These forms of Utah and of Colo-— 
rado for the most part have been referred by Watson to R. Fend- 
leri and R. Woodsii.

I have given the name R. Fendleri to a rose obtained by 
Fendler in New Mexico. Watson has described under this name — 
plants from a great number of localities, and upon considering — 
the description given in his monograph and the extent of the — 
geographical distribution, one is tempted to believe that he has 
characterized a good species; but despite long study Iam unable — 
to form a clear idea of that specific group. I am tempted to 
believe that R. Fendleri as constituted by Watson is probably an
