9. Juncus uncialis Greene. A tiny plant — as its name indi- 

 cates, never over an inch high. The type-locaUty is in Cali- 

 fornia. Piper in the Flora of Washington reports it from Falcon 

 Valley in Klickitat County, but it is not mentioned in the Flora 

 of the Northwest Coast, and would therefore appear not to have 

 been found west of the Cascades. Howell states the range 

 (under /. triformis Engelm. var. uniflorus Engelm.) as "Oregon 

 to California." 



10. Salix Geyeriana Anderss. A rare species. It has been 

 reported from other stations in the county, but remains uncon- 

 firmed. 



11. Betula Hallii Howell. The exact status of this species is 

 still in doubt. Howell's type-specimen was collected at Lake 

 Labish. Piper was inclined for a time to refer it to 5. glandulosa 

 Michx. — a much smaller shrub, not exceeding i m. in height, 

 while the Lake Labish form is a small tree, reaching at least 

 6 m. — but recently he seems disposed to accept Howell's species 

 as valid. Mr. J. F. Macbride of the Gray Herbarium says that 

 my specimens are closely matched by B. pumila L. var. glan- 

 dulifera Kegel, which may prove to be the final disposition of 

 this puzzling form. 



12. Myosurus major Greene. Originally collected in Cali- 

 fornia, and reported from Washington, but not recognized by 

 Howell. 



13. Ranunculus arvensis L. Evidently introduced since the 

 region came under cultivation, but not reported from any other 

 station iti Oregon. 



14. Caltha asarifolia DC. Piper & Beattie give the range as 

 "Alaska to Oregon, along the coast"; and there is no other report 

 of it from inland districts. If Howell knew it at all, he seems to 

 have taken it for C. palustris L., which it much resembles. 



15. Heuchera chlorantha Piper. The author of this species 

 now regards it as distinct from H. cylindrica Dough, and the 

 statement is made in the Flora of the Northwest Coast that it is 

 "not rare " ; but I have had no other report of it from this county. 



16. Comarum palustre L. Abundant in the Labish area, but 

 I have been unable to find it elsewhere.
