570 THE FUR SEALS OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. 



103. Veronica stelleri, Pall. 



Grassy baiiks by a pond near the south end of St. Paul Island. 



104. Pedicularis verticillata, L. 

 Common on both islands. 



105. Pedicularis sudetica, Willd. 



Not rare about marshes on St. Paul Island. 



106. Pedicularis langsdorfii, Pisch. 

 Hillsides and uplands on both islands. 



107. Pedicularis lanata, Willd. 



Common with the last on St. Paul Island. 



108. Euphrasia officinalis, L. 



One locality on St. Paul Island. 



109. Gynaudra gmelini, Cham, and Schl. 



Rather rare on both islands. 



110. Gynandra stelleri, Cham, and Schl. 

 Rare on St. Paul Island. 



111. Koenigia islandica, L. 

 Rather rare on both islands 



112. Polygonum viviparum, L. 

 Common on both islands. 



113. Polygonum macounii, J. K. Small. (Plate XCIV.) 



Perennial by a horizontal chaffy rootstock. Foliage bright green, glabrous or 

 nearly so. Stems usually several together, 3 to 4 dm. tall, simple, leafy to the top; 

 leaves basal and cauline; blades oblong, 5 to 12 cm. long, obtuse, more or less strongly 

 revolute, sometimes minutely pubescent beneath, marginal nerves prominent; the 

 basal and lower cauline leaves long petioled, the upper cauline short petioled or 

 nearly sessile; ochreae very thin, 5 to 8 cm. long on the lower part of the stein, 1 to 4 

 cm. long on the upper parts; raceme 3 to 3.5 cm. long, short peduncled, the lower 

 part producing numerous conic bulblets 5 to 6 mm. long, continuous; pedicels about 

 1 or 1.5 mm. long; ochreolae very thin, acute; perianth pink, 2 to 2.5 mm. long; seg- 

 ments oval or rhombic oval, obtuse; filaments strap shaped; ovary oval, 3-angled; 

 styles 3-parted; achenes not seen. A remarkable species of Polygonum, in habit 

 like a gigantic P. viviparum. Besides its much more robust habit, the compact raceme, 

 with its large ocreolae and very small calices, serve as a ready means of distinguishing 

 between the two species. 



In boggy ground near a ditch on St. Paul Island. 



Intermediate between P. viviparum, L., and P. bistorta, L.; perhaps a hybrid 

 between these species or P. viviparum and P. bistortoides, Pursh, though differing 

 widely from both and of much larger size than either. Mr. Holm's excellent drawing 

 is of a small specimen; the average height is from 18 to 30 inches. 



114. Polygonum bistorta, L. 



By a little brook near Zapadni rookery, St. George Island. Specimens were not 

 collected and, though recorded under the above name, the specimens seen were 

 probably P. bistortoides, Pursh.
