538 The American Naturalist. [June, 
Ulmus Americana, Popidus mouilifera. Occasionally one may 
find a tree of Jmiiperiis virginiana, and on Crow Butte there 
are numerous specimens of Juniperus communis var. alpina. 
Of the lesser woody plants one finds Celasteus scandeus in 
abundance, though far out of its reputed range, Vitis ripania 
and Ampelopsis quinquefolia are common, as are, also, Rhus 
glabra. R. toxicodendron and R. aromatica var. trilobata. 
Here we find growing commonly the yellow flowered currant, 
Ribes anreum, the Buffalo Berry, Shepherdia argentea, and the 
Diamond Willow, Salix cordata var. vestita. 
Of the herbaceous vegetation only the following need be 
enumerated: Thermopsis rhombifolia ; Lupinus plattensis ; 
Latteyrus polymorphus ; Potentilla auserina ; Oenothera albi- 
caulis; Gaura coccinea ; Opuretia missousiensis ; 0. fragilis ; 
Campanula rotundifolia ; Asclepias speciosa ; Gilia lineasis ; 
Heliotropium convolvolaceum ; Krynitzkia glomesata : Yucca 
augustifolia ; Calochostus nuttallii ; Stipa spartea ; Buchloe 
dactyloides ; Munsoa squanosa ; Boutelona oligostachya. In 
addition numerous species of Astragolus, Estsgonum, and of 
various mountain composites might be noted, but those already 
given are perhaps sufficiently characteristic. — Charles E.Bessey.
