 eastern British America. The station, 'Eastern summit of North 

 Kootanie Pass, Eocky Mountains,' should be omitted ; even Eothrock's 

 localities, south of Behring's Strait, are very doubtful. Much confusion 

 has arisen from Anderson's having at first distributed one of Dr. Lyall's 

 Cascade Mountain Willows as S. phlebophylla, the same plant that 

 afterwards served as the type of his S. tenera, N. Sp., in reality only a 

 form (by no means rare) of S. Brownii." (Bebb.)
