Orb. 40. CAPRIFOLIACE^E. 



1. LINN^EA, Gronov. 



1. LlNN^EA BOREALIS, OrOUOV. 



Var. longiflora: corollce tubo basi longe attenuatis ; calycis lobis 

 lineari-subulatis ovario triplo longioribus. 



Hab. Oregon, and northward to British Columbia and Sitcha, east- 

 ward to the Eocky Mountains. — We find no constant differences 

 between the western Linncea and the ordinary state of the plant, 

 except what we have here noticed. The flower is indeed larger, but 

 is sometimes equalled in New England specimens. The eastern Lin- 

 ncea is wholly like that of Europe, and so is that from Amoor River, 

 from Kamtschatka, &c, of which there are specimens in the herbarium 

 of Dr. Gray. [In Lyall's, E. Hall's, and other specimens from Oregon 

 and Washington Territory, this character holds good ; while at Fraser 

 River an intermediate form occurs. From Utah and the Rocky 

 Mountains only the ordinary form has been collected.] 



2. SYMPHORICARPUS, Dill 



1. Symphoricarpus racemosus, Michx. 



Hab. Washington Territory and Oregon ; common on the borders 

 of woods and banks of rivers ; also near San Francisco, where it at- 

 tains the height of from 6 to 8 feet.
