Hab. North-west Coast. Mr. Menzies. Dr. Scouler. Common over a vast extent of country, from Cape
Mendocina to Puget Sound, but never extending 100 geographical miles from the coast. Douglas.—A. truly
beautiful plant, with the leaves often 4 inches long, and racemes still longer, of a delicate waxy appearance.
The fruit is much esteemed by the natives, and made into cakes, which keep for a great length of time. It
is now introduced by Mr. Douglas and Dr. Scouler to our gardens, where it is a great acquisition, bearing
copious blossoms and abundant fruit.
2. ARBUTUS.
Calyx parvus, 5-partitus. Corolla ovata v.- globosa limbo 5-dentato reflexo, basi. saspe
diaphana. Stam. 10 basi corolla* inserta. Anthers loculi apice poro dehiscentes, dorso aris-
tato. Discus hypogynus decangularis. Stigma obtusum. Bacca 5-locularis, polysperma,
nunc Drupa subglobosa, putamine 5-loculari, loculis monospermis.
* Bacca polysperma. Arbutus.

axillaribus secundis sessilibus solitariis. Linn. Suppl. p. 238. Pursh, FI. Am. v. l.p . 282.
Hab. North America. Linnceus: and Pursh suspects on the N. W. Coast, at the Columbia; which is the more
probable, as no true Arbutus (excluding Arctostaphylos') is found on the East side of the Rocky Mountains.
2. A. Menziesii; arborea, foliis ovalibus integerrimis vel subserratis coriaceis petiolatis gla-
berrimis subtus glaucis, racemis elongatis compositis paniculatis densis pubescentibus, baccis
rugosis polyspermis.—Pursh, FI. Am. v. l.p . 282. Hook, et Am. in Bot. of Beech. Voy. v. 1.
p. 143.—A. procera. Dougl. MSS. in Hort. Soc. Lond.
Hab. North-west Coast. Mr. Menzies. Common at Puget Sound, Columbia River, and N. California, attaining
a large size in hilly situations. Douglas.—This is so closely allied to A. Andrachne, especially to
my specimens from southern Tauria, that 1 have hesitated about keeping it distinct. The leaves are perhaps
larger; but the figure of that species in Bot. Register, 1.113, admirably represents our plant.
3. A. tomentosa; fruticosa erecta,foliis brevi-petiolatis acutis coriaceis ovalibus ovatisve nunc
subcordatis integerrimis junioribus pubescenti-tomentosis, racemis compositis brevibus termi-

tomentosa. Douglas, MSS.—ß. nuda; ramorum setis nullis.
Hab. Columbia. Menzies. Common on rocky places of the N. W. Coast, from California in the south, to
Puget Sound in the north. Douglas.—This plant has, perhaps, a considerable geographical range. From
Professor Lindley I possess a specimen gathered at Vera Cruz. Not having seen the fruit, I am doubtful
whether this species belongs to the present or to the following division of the Genus.

Hab. Throughout Canada, and as far as Fort Franklin on the Mackenzie River. Dr. Richardson. Common
on the North-west Coast. Douglas. Dr. Scouler.—On the shores of the Columbia, the leaves are dried
at the fire, pounded or bruised by the natives, and mixed with tobacco to render it more mild. It is the
Iss-salth of the Chenook Indians.
