LyYCOPODIUM SITCHENSE Rupr. According to mater- 
ial in the National Herbarium, the range of this species 
must be altered to read: Alaska to southeastern Labra- 
dor and western Newfoundland, south to Oregon, Idaho, 
the northern shore of Lake Superior, northern New 
York (Adirondack Mountains), New Hampshire (Mount 
Washington), and Maine (several localities, including 
Mount Katahdin). The western range has long been 
known to include Washington, numerous specimens 
being at hand from the region of Mount Rainier, Stevens 
Pass, Mount Paddo (Adams), and the Olympic Moun- 
tains, at altitudes of 1,200 to 2,100 meters. The Oregon 
record, which appears to be new, rests on a single speci- 
men from the shore of Amabilis Lake, Calapoaia Moun- 
tains, August 9, 1897, Coville & Applegate 496. The 
Labrador record is authenticated by a specimen. col- 
lected at St. Michaels, in August, 1891, by Waghorne 
(no. 7a). In British Columbia, Washington, and 
Oregon, L. sitchense is found almost exclusively in wet 
mountain meadows, while in the east it occurs in various 
habitats, reaching its best development in upland 
spruce woods and thickets. 
Lycoropium aNNotINuM L. This species is known 
from northeastern Washington (Kreager 412) and the 
region of Mount Rainier (Piper 2110, Flett 2014), but 
is not mentioned by recent writers as occurring in Ore- 
gon. There is at hand, however, an excellent specimen 
collected at the base of Mount Hood, Oregon, in October, 
1884, by Thomas Howell, properly determined and 
labeled in his hand. It belongs to the typical form of 
the species. 
In the eastern United States, Pennsylvania is com- 
monly given as the southern limit of this species. It was 
collected in the mountains of Garrett County, in ex- 
treme western Maryland, as long ago as 1875, however,
