Prionitis Lyallii f. depauperata Harvey. 

 Esquimalt, B. C, Harvey (1862, p. 174). 



Prionitis lanceolata Harvey. 



Puget Sound, Bailey and Harvey (1862, p. 162). 



We have never seen a specimen of undoubted /'. lanceolata 

 from our territory. 



Prionitis lanceolata? var. filicina Harvey. 

 Esquimalt, B. C, Harvey (1862, p. 174). 



Prionitis jubata J. Agardh. 



Sitka, Alaska, "Ex. Herb. Acad. Petrop." in Herb. Farlow!, 

 under Oelidium crassifolium. 



Two specimens are preserved in Herb. Farlow, having come

From what Kjellman says (1889, p. 30), it seems that there 

 may be reasons for separating the plant of the North Pacific from 

 that of the North Atlantic. We have had little opportunity for 

 examining the plant of the latter region, while the plants of the
