Bivens Becki! Torr. The range of this species is given in the 
Synoptical Flora as “Canada to New Jersey and Missouri.” Strangely 
enough it occurs in Green lake, King county, where it is undoubtedly 
native, but it has not been detected elsewhere on the Pacific coast. 
Equally surprising is the occurrence of Hypericum Canadense majus 
Gray on the shores of the same lake. ‘The western limit of the species 
is given in Gray’s Manual as “Lake Superior.” 
Such a remarkably isolated station for these two plants seems 
difficult to account for, but I cannot resist the suggestion that it 
may have been brought about through the agency of migratory water 
birds. ; 
CAMPANULA AurRiTA Greene, described from Alaskan specimens, is 
an abundant plant on the perpendicular cliffs of Mt. Steele, Olympic 
mountains. The flowers are much deeper blue than those of the 
common C. rotundifolia. 
Pentstemon Whitedii, n. sp. (§ EUpENTSTEMON). Stems several 
from a lignescent base, 2 to 3 high, puberulent below and glandular 
pubescent above: radical leaves glabrous or sparingly puberulent, 
narrowly spatulate-lanceolate, acute, saliently dentate with large obtuse 
teeth, or rarely entire or nearly so, 4 to 8™ long ; cauline leaves about 
four pairs, ovate-lanceolate, acute, entire or sparingly dentate, clasping 
at base, the lower puberulent, the upper glandular pubescent espe 
cially on the upper side, 3 to 4™ long: thyrsus virgate, interrupted ; 
peduncles and pedicels short : sepals broadly lanceolate, acute, 7 t0 a 
long : corolla bilabiate, 15 to 20™ long, “light blue,” glandular pubes- 
cent without, the lobes puberulent within, throat sparsely bearded : 
stamens glabrous, the sterile filament secundly bearded for nearly its 
whole length with golden yellow hairs: entire inflorescence viscidly 
hirsute: fruit not seen.
