Populus angustifolius, covering the ground for about a week to a depth 

 of two inches with its cotton wool; and the silverleafed Buffalo-berry, 

 Lepargyraea argentea, the sweet odor of whose flowers is conveyed to 

 some distance 



This sketch merely gives a glimpse of what there is in this section 

 of the Rockies. I found on my return east that I had but about a 

 hundred specimens the greater part of them, however, were collected at 

 the higher altitudes. I am indebted to Dr. Rydberg and to Dr. Pennell, 

 both of the New York Botanical garden, for the naming of these.
