No. 5894, collected July 15, 1902, in diy, gravelley ground 

 above Summit Lake, Mt. Sanhedrin, Lake county, at an eleva-

 genus, the plants appear in tufts from the slender underground 

 rootstocks, and are easily broken off at the base. 



This species is one of the forms which has long passed as 

 S. angustifolia Pursh, of which an original specimen collected 

 by Lewis on the "Kooskoosky" river, is preserved in Philadel-
