This list, it is believed, includes all the Alpine and Sub-Alpine spe- 

 cies, thus far detected in this region, though there seems to be no 

 reason why several other species, found on Mount Katahdin, Maine, 

 and on some ot the Green Mountains, should not occur among the 

 White Mountains. 



Dryas integrifolia is inserted on the authority of Pursh, but its oc- 

 curence is quite doubtful. Sibbaldia procumbens has not been seen 

 recently, nor has Saxifraga rivularis been found since Oakes collected 

 it some years ago. His exploration of the mountains was quite thor- 

 ough, and his sets of the Alpine Flora were widely distributed. 



Mr. Wm. F. Flint, of Hanover, N. H. has been collecting carefully 

 during the past season, and now offers for sale sets of over 50 species 

 for $5.00 per set. 



Several of the species enumerated here, as Streptopus roseus, and 

 Veratum viride occur plentifully in the woods of Maine and N. H., 

 but are so abundant at elevations of 4000 feet or more, as to form a 

 characteristic part of the mountain Flora. 



It is to be hoped that the researches of the Appalachian Club, or- 

 ganized the past season, will add some new species to our present list.

Resurrection Plants. 



Dr. Berrota of the city of Mexico, has presented to the National 

 Museum a small collection of specimens intended to exhibit the rich 

 and beautiful products of his country. Among them is a specimen of 

 the resurrection plant, which obtained this name in consequence of
