Hab. North-West Coast of America, probably on Banks' Islands. Mr. Menzies (in Herb, nostr.)—I am
indebted for a small but original Pallasian specimen of this beautiful plant to Dr. Fischer, with which this
exactly corresponds.

3. A. lycopodioid.es; caule filiformi diffuso vage ramoso, foliis quadrifariis arete imbricatis

Hab. Unalaschka. Chamisso.—At first sight this plant resembles a small state of A. tetragona, but it is
truly distinct; much slenderer in all its parts, the branches more diffuse and flexuose, the leaves not furrowed
on the back, the flowers fewer but larger, and the corolla more campanulate.
4. A. cupressina; caule suberecto valde subpinnatim ramoso, foliis quadrifariis arete imbricatis
appressis lato-lanceolatis carinatis, pedunculis solitariis lateralibus.
H ab. Rocky Mountains north of the Smoking River, lat. 46°. Drummond.—This partakes of some of the
characters of the preceding and following species, yet is quite distinct from both; it has nearly the same firm
and stout habit as A. tetragona, and is about of the same size; but, like A. lycopodioides, it wants the dorsal
sulcus. Its leaves are longer and narrower than either, and distinctly, and often rather sharply carinated.
It is probably a rare, and exclusively an alpine species; very few specimens are in the Collection, and
those mostly in fruit Capsule bearing the dissepiment in the middle of the valves, as is probably the case with
all the quadrifarionsly-leaved species, hence they are true Andromeda, not Menziesiee, whither Dr. Fischer
is disposed to refer them. The beautiful A. ericoides, which I have received from Dr. Fischer and Chamisso,
and A. Redowskii, which 1 possess from Professor Lehmann, seem to be exclusively Siberian plants, and
not to have been found on the opposite or American side of Behring’s Straits.
5. A. tetragona; caule suberecto fere pinnatim ramoso, foliis quadrifariis arete imbricatis

finds it on Mount Hood of the Columbia River.

Hab. Canada. Pursh. Saskatchewan. Drummond.—The Genus Lyonia is distinguished by Mr. Nuttall
from Andromeda by the 5 valves of the capsule being closed by 5 other, and marginal narrow ones. But
these narrow marginal ones appear to be only a parenchymatous substance filling up the spaces formed by
the introflexion of the true valves, and generally falling away when the capsules have burst; but not unfre-
quentlÿ remaining attached to one or other of the valves. Dr. Torrey informs us that Mr. Nuttall himself
now hardly considers the Genus tenable.

Hab. Labrador. Sir Jos. Banks. Kohlmeister. Dr. Morrison.—It is not certain that this is found any
where in North America, except Labrador. In the alpine interior its place is taken by other allied and
equally beautiful species. On the N. W. Coast, Chamisso only detected M. Aleutica, which is, perhaps, the one
seen by Steller, whom Pallas mentions as having found M. cærulea “ on the islands and continent of America,
opposite Kamtsckatka.”
