superne profunde inciso-dentatis, scapis aphyllis laxe paniculatis bracteatis, bracteis
linearibus integerrimis, petalis bipunctatis obovatis calyce reflexo subduplo longioribus,

and 56°. Drummond. Kotzebue’s Sound. Lag and Collie in Capt. Beechey’s Voyage.—The broadly cuneate,
or rather flabelliform outline of the foliage of S. Dahurica is very remarkable. Our specimens exactly correspond
with Pallas’ figure, and equally with that of Sternberg above quoted. We possess specimens from
Chamisso which he gathered in the Bay of S t Lawrence.

and at the Portage, near the source of the Columbia. Drummond. /3. Dundas Island, in Queen Charlotte’s
Sound; North-West coast of America. Dr. Scouler.—The specimens gathered by Mr. Drummond on the
Rocky Mountains are in a very advanced and imperfect state; but seeds which he brought to Europe have
flourished in the Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and from the former the specimens were
derived which were figured in the Botanical Magazine.
29. S. stellaris; glabriuscula, caule firmulo vix striato, foliis obovato-cuneiformibus in
petiolum brevem desinentibus crassiusculis dentatis, bracteis linearibus, floribus corymboso-
paniculatis, pedunculis longis filiformibus rigidulis adscendentibus pilos longos raros geren-

Hab. Labrador. JZohlmeister. Dr. Morrison. Also in Canada, according to Pursh.—We consider it
doubtful if the true Saxifraga stellaris has been found any where in North America, except at Labrador.
From Canada we have never s.een specimens, though stated to have been found there by Kohlmeister,
according to Mr. Pursh. In the Arctic Islands, the S. foliosa of Brown seems to occupy its place, and upon
the Rocky Mountains, and on the North-West coast, the S. leucanthemifolia.

Hab. Arctic Islands. Capt. Sir E. Parry. Mr. Edwards. Capt. Sabine.—How far this may be entitled
to rank as a permanently distinct species, we are not able to say. In habit it has many points of agreement
with S. stellaris, yet we have seen no specimens approaching so near to that plant as to render it by any means
difficult to distinguish them. On the continent of North America it does not appear to have been found,
but it has been detected as far north as Spitzbergen.

comparing their specimens of S. Nelsoniana, described in the Botany of Capt. Beechey’s Voyage, the authors
now hesitate in considering it the same with the plant so named by Mr. Don; hence we have excluded that
synonym, and their plant will be here found described under the name of S. Ricliardsonii.
