KRUHSEA 



Kruhsea streptopoides (Ledebour) Kearney 



FRUIT OF PLATE 56 



The change wrought in vegetation during a few weeks of growing 

 weather is very great in mountain regions at the latitude of Glacier 

 House,and when autumn approaches, the tiny green flowers of Kruhsea 

 have developed rapidly into large, pulpy, red berries, which contrast 

 strikingly with the yellow leaves and soon fall to the ground. 



On this continent Kruhsea grows from northern Washington to 

 southern Alaska, and in Asia it is recorded from both Japan and Siberia. 



The specimen sketched was obtained at the same locality as the 

 flowers shown in the preceding plate, at Glacier, British Columbia, at 

 3,500 feet elevation.
