Hab. Sitcha. Bongard ! ; Columbia river, Dr. Scolder ! — 
Having had the good fortune to receive an original specimen 
of C. Mertensii, we are enabled to satisfy ourselves of its 
identity with C. Columhiana. We find, indeed, that although 
C. Mertensii is described as distigmatic, at least half the fer- 
tile flowers in our specimen are furnished wdth 3 stigmas.
