1825, APRIL. PLANTS COLLECTED 111 



(76) Viola sp. ; perennial ; flowers blue ; sandy soils near rivulets, 

 on elevated grounds ; April ; comes near F. canina. 



(77) Antirrhinum (?) sp. ; annual ; flowers blue, numerous ; a beautiful 

 plant ; get seeds of it ; on the plaias and bill situations ; April ; may 

 prove a second species to NuttaU's Collinsia. 



(78) Alnus sp. ; male and female ; may prove A. glutinosa ; tbe trees 

 in size far exceed the accounts given of them on the Atlantic side, arising 

 no doubt from the richness of the soil and superior climate ; may be the 

 same as 11. 



(79) Valeriana (?) sp. ; annual ; in wet meadows ; a small plant ; 

 Point Vancouver. S. 



(80) Valeriana or Fedia sp. ; annual ; in dry light hilly soils ; abundant 

 at the same place, April 20th. S. 



(81) Caryofhylleae, annual ; flowers white ; dry sandy places. 



(82) Syngenesia, annual ; flowers yellow ; same place, 



(82 [bis]) Pinus sp. ; exceeds all trees in magnitude ; I measured one 

 lying on the shore of the river 39 feet in circumference and 159 feet long j 

 the top was wanting, but at the extreme length 2^ in diameter, so I judge 

 that it would be in all about 190 feet high if not more, girth 48 feet ; 

 they grow very straight ; the wood is softer than most of the Pinus 

 except P. canadensis,^ and easily split. This species, although I have not 

 yet seen the cones, I take to be P. taxifolia.^ The most common tree in 

 the forest.

 a beautiful white variety of it ; April.
