40 mm., or long slender peduncles; seeds, 4 X 1*5 mm.; 

 coma white. 



In bogs, Beaver Creek, Selkirk Mts., B.C., Aug. 14th, 

 1885. (John Macoun.) In one of these specimens " the 

 beak of the seed is very narrow and 3 ram. long." 



(12.) E. Franciscanum, Barbey. 



Of many of our specimens examined by Dr. Trelease, but 

 one collected at Qualicum, Vancouver Island, has been de- 

 finitely referred to this species. Of other specimens ex- 

 amined by him he says: " Specimens collected on Vancou- 

 ver Island and in British Columbia are doubtfully referred 

 here, though they may belong to adenocaulon. The smaller, 

 more closely crisp-hairy form approaches the next species. 

 \_E. Watsoni.] A curious simple plant with large glossy 

 thin leaves, scarcely to be referred elsewhere occurs from 

 Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C. (Dawson, July 10th, 1878.)" 



Specimens collected by Prof. Macoun on Vancouver Is- 

 land in 1893 are placed here, though "too near E. adeno- 

 caulon var. occidentals." The specimens now referred to this 

 species were formerly included under E. coloratum. 



(13.) E. coloratum, Muhl. 



Represented in our herbarium by but one specimen from 

 Casselman, Ont. All the eastern specimens placed under 

 E. coloratum, and most of the western placed under E. color- 

 atum and E. tetragonum in Prof. Macoun's Catalogue of 

 Canadian Plants, (pp. 169-170) have been referred to E. 

 adenocaulon by Dr. Trelease. 



Specimens from Salt Lake, Anticosti; Little Flat, Rock 

 Portage, Nipigon River, Ont., and Little Slave Lake, 

 N.W.T., are probably coloratum x adenocaulon. 



(14.) E. adenocaulon, Hausskn. 



Common from the Atlantic to British Columbia. Dr. 

 Trelease considers that a very small crisp-pubescent form 

 (1J to 3 inches in height), collected by Prof. Macoun at 

 Brackley Pt., P.E.I. , may be E. ciliatum, Raf.
