AND GENERA OF PLANTS, 271 



Hab. Shady woods of the Oregon, near the confluence of the Wahlamet. Caudex creeping 

 and extensive, remarkable for its numerous, long, narrow stipules. Leaves two inches or more 

 long, about an inch and a half wide, very dark green. Sometimes as round as in those of P. ro- 

 tundifolia, to which it is very closely related. Scapes eighteen to twenty inches high ! with about 

 two free scales. Bractes lanceolate, acuminate, about the length of the pedicels. Flowers bright, 

 rose red and fragrant, rather smaller than in P. rotundifolia. Petals elliptic-oblong. The cre- 

 nulations of the leaves scarcely sensible. A majority of the leaves are oval. 



Pyrola hracteata. 



Hab. Dark fir woods of the Oregon, near Fort Vancouver, As the flowers advance the bractes 

 appear, as in other species, no longer than the pedicel. The flower of this species is also 

 strongly tinged with red, and very similar to that of P. rotundifolia; the stipules are acuminate, 

 as in the preceding. 



Pyrola minor. 



Hab. Base of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. (Pickering.) 



Pyrola sccunda; /?. * leaves roundish-ovate, minutely crenulate, obtuse. 



Hab. Blue Mountains of Oregon, not far from the River Oregon. 



^ * ScoTOPHiLA. — Seeds minute, nearly spherical, terminated at either extremity 

 by a small reticulated roundish membrane. Atithers with short rvide basal 

 inverted pores. 

 Pyrola aphylla. 



Hab. In the shady pine woods, round Fort Vancouver. Occasionally it produces, near the root, 

 and on infertile shoots, a few small, ovate or lanceolate greenish leaves, but it is generally clad 

 only with whitish scales. By the seed, this species makes a near approach to Pterospora. A 

 variety also occurs with lanceolate, acuminate divisions to the calyx, which may be called (3. * 

 leptosepala. 



MONESES. (Salisb. Decand. Pyrola. Linn.) 



MoNESES * recticulata ; leaves roundish-ovate, dentate, reticulately and pro- 

 minently veined ; calyx ciliate ; anthers as long as the filaments. Pyrola 

 uniflora. Hooker, Flor. Bor. Am. (in part.) 2. p. 45. 



Hab. Shady fir woods of the Oregon, not far from the sea. Nearly allied to M. grandiflora 

 Decand,; but the leaves are strongly toothed, with elevated reticulations. 



Chimaphii,a umbellata. 



Hab. In the shady woods of the Oregon, towards the sea. Larger than usual, and with the 

 leaves acute. The flowers I have not seen,
