298 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 



(3062.) R. acriformis, Gray, Proced. Amer. Acad., XIII., 374. 



B. acris, Hook. Fl. I., 18, in part. 



" A foot high, strict, with pubescence in good part appressed ; leaves 

 all palmately or pedately and deeply 3-5 parted or even divided, and 

 often again 2-3 cleft into narrow lanceolate or linear segments or lobes > 

 petals orbicular-obovate, one-fourth inch long, hardly double the length 

 of the spreading calyx; akenes over a line long; beak of half their 

 length.' ' Northern Eocky Mountains, Lat. 58°. (Drummond vide Gray.) 



(3063.) R. hispidus, Michx. ; partly DC. 



M. repens, Linn., var. hispidus, Torr. & Gray ; Macoun, Cat. I., 21. 



All the specimens of our native forms referred to R. repens var. 

 hispidus j belong here, or to the next. Dr. Gray in his last revision 

 placed the species after R. Pennsylv aniens, which is evidently its proper 

 place. At present it is rather difficult to separate specimens of this 

 form from R. septentrionahs, Poir., and it is very desirable that all 

 Canadian collectors get good fruiting specimens of what we fbrmerly 

 included in B. repens and its variety. Our specimens of R. hispidus are 

 as below. Mouth of Nepigon Eiver, Lake Superior ; Pheasant Plain, 

 Man. ; Eed Deer Eiver, near Hand Hills, Alberta ; along the 

 Columbia Eiver at Donald ; at Kamloops, Agaasiz, and Port Haney, 

 B.C. {Macoun.) Wigwam Eiver, B.C. (Dawson.) 



(3064.) R. septentrionalis, Poir. ; Gray, Man., ed. VI., 43. (1890.) 



Nearly all the synonymy placed under R. repens var. hispidus by me 

 in Part I., page 20 of this Catalogue is transferred to this species by 

 Dr. Gray, so that nearly all the localities for the former species may 

 . possibly belong to this, which ranges from New Brunswick to Mani- 

 toba. Our Bpecimens of it are as below. In low ground along streams, 

 in alluvium. Campbellton, N.B. (Chalmers.) Chipman, N.B. ( Wet- 

 more.) Whycocogmah, Cape Breton ; Black Eiver, Prince Edward 

 Island ; Becscie Eiver, Anticosti ; Madeline Eiver, Gasp^, Q. ; Cold 

 Creek Valley, near Wooler, Ont. (Macoun.) Vicinity of London, Ont., 

 and var. nitidus, Part I., 22, from London. (Burgess.) 



(3065.) E. HEBECARPUS, Hook. & Arn. 



Introduced in ballast on the wharves at Nanaimo, Vancouver Island. 

 (Macoun.)
