As already stated, the exact locality where DRuMMonpD collected 
the type is unknown to me. The other material came from British 
Columbia: Chilliwack Valley, between latitude 49°-49° 10’ and 
longitude 121° 25’~122°, 1650 m., August 29, 1901, J. M. Macoun 
(no. 26909 O., fr.; G., N.); Selese Mt., 1290 m., July 25, 1906, 
W. Spreadborough (no. 79556 O., fr.; Cor., N.; 79557 O., m.; 
Cor., N.; ‘70558 O,, 4.,.ir.3 Cor: 9959 0., m., fr.;-Cor.); Skeena 
River, Hazelton Mountains, July 13, 1917, J. M. Macoun (no. 
95405 O., f.). 
There is also a forma incerta foliis oblongo-ellipticis utrinque 
acuminatis, collected by G. E. Cooley, in Juneau, Alaska, above 
Silver Bow Basin, August 6, 1891 (m.; G., N.), which has been 
referred by RyDBERG to S. anglorum. In my opinion it has nothing 
to do with that species, but may represent a special form of S. 
arctica, under which species it is cited by CovILte.

As already stated under S. arctica Pall., the existence of this. 
previous name had apparently been overlooked by BRowN in 
establishing his new arctica, of which RicHarDson was the first 
to give a description. It may be that this diagnosis was prepared 
by Brown, because RICHARDSON in his preface expressly acknowl- 
edges the great assistance BROWN gave him, but the first edition 
of RICHARDSON’s Botanical Appendix appeared shortly before the 
Chloris Melvilliana, in which BRown published an excellent descrip- 
tion of his species. When in 1831 CHAmisso changed BRrowN’s
