1825, MAY. PLAIITS COLLECTED 119 



yet ripe. In the collection are abundance of specimens in flower and 

 fruit; on the rocky shores of the Columbia and its branches; plentiful. 

 Do not fail to put up a treble supply of its seeds ; being evergreen it is 

 the more desirable. 



May \Wi. — (185) Juncus, is it the same as before, in seed ? 



(186) Cheilanthes sp. ; very abundant on rocks on the south bank 

 of Columbia river, forty miles from the ocean ; I think will prove G. 

 dealbata.^ 



(187) Polypodium ; probably P. vulgare ; on rocks and trees. 



(188) Mimulus sp., annual or perennial ? stem creeping, jointed ; 

 leaves subrotundate, partially dentate, three-nerved, glabrous ; flower 

 leaves obovate-lanceolate ; flowers small, very fine bright yellow, in the 

 lower lip two streaks of a purplish-crimson colour with two minute dots 

 of the same in the upper ; a very beautiful little plant. This interesting 

 species I call M. Scouleri,^ after John Scouler, who has been the agree- 

 able companion of my long voyage from England and walks on the solitary 

 Columbia, who first noticed it when in company with me on one of our 

 walks on the Columbia. Plentiful on a conspicuous neck of land called 

 ' Tongue Point,' on moist rocks ; I have since seen it on the rocks at the 

 Falls with M. luteus and another species. I was rather late in making 

 a second visit to it to procure abundance of seed, a small portion is now 

 sent in the earth it grew in ; a fine plant for cultivation. 



(189) Smilacina, probably S-. bifolia,^ perennial ; plentiful in open 

 woods, among rich soil.* 



(190) Galium sp., perennial ; a small inconspicuous plant, plentiful in 

 soils among rocks and stones. 



(191) Umbelliferae (?) ; perennial ; flower purple ; abundant, in shady 

 places, at Tongue Point. 



(192) Viola sp., perennial ; flowers small, yellow ; in open ground in 

 light rich soils ; plentiful. 



May 14th. — (193) Valeriana sp., perennial ; flowers white ; banks of 

 the river, on moist rocks and near springs. 



(194) Ranunculus sp., perennial ; probably R. sceleratus ; in marshy 

 ground or near rivulets. 



(195) Geum sp., perennial ; on sandy banks of the river, sixty miles 

 from the ocean. 



(196) Saxifraga sp. (?) ; perennial ; dry shady rocks, very plentiful. 



(197) Rosa ; leaves ovate, obtuse, serrate, under side rough, upper 

 smooth ; flowers beautiful pink, after expanded a few days a faint colour ; 

 fragrant ; a strong climbing plant, 6 to 10 feet high ; near the junction 

 of the Multnomah river with the Columbia. I have since seen this 

 beautiful plant in abundance on the Multnomah in great perfection. S. 



(198) Anemone sp. (?), perennial ; flowers white ; a very fine small 

 plant ; abundant on the north.^ I have in vain sought for it in seed.
