grass & Heller, no. 670 (hb. Gr.). James Ist.: James Bay, on bluffs 
near the beach, Snodgrass & Heller, no. 377 (hb. Gr.). Although I 
have not seen original material of Andersson’s B. glandulosa I find plants 
from Albemarle collected by Messrs. Snodgrass & Heller, which corre- 
spond so closely with Andersson’s description that I cannot avoid the con- 
clusion that they represent just what Andersson had. Nevertheless the 
plants seem to be only starved and dwarfed B. wiscosa, growing as 
Andersson says in locis sterilissimis. Further distrib. S. W. United 
States, Mex., W. S. Am. southward to Chili.
