Hane at tlic Smith’s Sound Stations. They are conqmratively smaller 
in all their parts, and have dried yellow, probably from some atmospheric 
causes, or the more advanced season. Some of these specimens, with 
leaves quite lanceolate and acute at both ends, and small ovoid catkins, 
resemble the figure of 8. Lapponum, in FI. Ban. T. 1050, except that 
their leaves are petiolate. They are, however, subject to all the same 
variations in leaves and catkins as S. arctica of the lower latitudes; and 
Br. Torrcy says they agree well with the ITookerian specimens of his 
herbarium.

These two last species, which are of small stature and with black 
spikes, are easily distinguished from each other. L. hyperborea has 
the leaves flat, while L. arcuata has them channelled and linear.
