103. Veronica stelleri, I'iill. 



Grassy banks by a poud near tlie south eud of St. Paul Island. 



104. Pedicularis verticillata, L. 



Oommon ou both islauds. 



105. Pedicularis sudetica, Willd. 



Not rare about marshes on St. Paul Island. 



106. Pedicularis langsdorfii, Fisch. 

 Hillsides and uplands on both islauds. 



107. Pedicularis lanata, Willd. 



Common with the last ou St. Paul Island. 



108. Euphrasia officinalis, L. 



One locality ou St. Paul Island. 



109. Gynandra gmelini, tlhaiii. and Sclil. 



Kather rare ou botli islauds. 



110. Gynandra stelleri, ('liaiii. and Sclil. 



Bare on St. Paul Island. 



111. Koenigia islandica, 1j. 

 liather rare on both islands 



112. Polygonum viviparum, Ij. 



Common on both islands. 



113. Polygonum macounii, J. K. Small. (Plate XCIV.) 



Perennial by a horizontal chaffy rootstock. Foliajfc bright green, glabrous or 

 nearly so. Stems usually several together, 3 to 4 dm. tall, simple, leafy to the top; 

 leaves basal and cauliue; blades oblong, 5 to 12 cm. long, obtuse, more or less strongly 

 revolute, sometimes miuutely pubescent beneath, marginal nerves prominent; the 

 basal and lower cauline leaves long petioled, the upper cauliue short petioled or 

 nearly sessile; ochreae very thin, 5 to 8 cm. long on the lower part of the steiu, 1 to 4 

 cm. long on the ui^per parts; raceme 3 to 3.5 cm. long, short peduncled, the lower 

 part producing numerous conic bulblets 5 to 6 mm. long, continuous; pedicels about 

 1 or 1.5 mm. long; ochreolae very thin, acute; perianth pink, 2 to 2.5 mm. long; seg- 

 ments oval or rhombic oval, obtuse; filaments strap shaped; ovary oval, 3-angled; 

 styles 3-parted; achenes not seen. A remarkable si)ecies of Polygonum, in habit 

 like a gigantic P. riviparum. Besides its much more robust habit, the compact raceme, 

 with its large ocreolae and very small calices, serve as a ready means of distinguishing 

 between the two species. 



In boggy ground near a ditch on St. Paul Islaud. 



Intermediate between P. viviparum, h., and P. bistorta, L. ; perhaps a hybrid 

 between these species or P. viviparum and P. histortoidcs, Pursh, though dittering 

 widely from both and of much larger size than either. Mr. Holm's excellent drawing 

 is of a small specimen; the average height is from 18 to 30 inches. 



114. Polygonum bistorta, L. 



By a little brook near Zapadni rookery, St. George Island. Specimens were not 

 collected and, though recorded under the above name, the specimens seen were 

 probably P. bistortoides, Pursh.
