NORTH PARK, COLORADO. 



20S 



pMnum, Dodecatheon and Oxytropus on the Laramie Plains and in the Park, the 

 beautiful blushing Lewisia and the Ocerothera Marginata with its large white 

 petals, the Gillia aggregata and others of the Medicine Bow range are very beau- 

 tiful. Several species of Fsoralea, the Oxytropus and others were very prominent 

 in the North Park, and the plants in the caves and on the mountain sides are 

 very interesting. Among the latter the Aquilegia Cerulea is most prominent, tall 

 and very showy, and of the purest white and azure blue. 



The Berberis repens, with its holly-like leaf and red berry is abundant in pine 

 woods, and is said to afford the berry of which the "Vinegar Bitters" is made. 

 The Thlaspi alpestris and Trollius laxus were found blooming beside the snow 

 banks. The Cleome integrifolia very abundant in Kansas and Nebraska, also 

 found on the Laramie plains but not in North Park. The Primula parryi, a very 

 handsome plant, was found at the edge of a stream at 9,000 feet elevation. 



The following is a partial list of plants observed and collected hurriedly. 

 Many of them were collected at a moment's stop on a trip of fifty miles per day. 

 [For their determination I am under many obligations to Dr. George Engelman 

 of St. Louis.]
