Hab. Rare in the Alpine woods and mountains north of the Smoking River, lat. 56°. Drummond.—A
very beautiful and distinct species, 6-7 inches high, with each one of its copious and subfasciculated branches
bearing 5-6 gracefully drooping yellow flowers, clothed, as well as the peduncles, with a rather thick glandular
down.

Hab. Alpine woods and open elevated situations of the Rocky Mountains, lat. 55°. Drummond.—On comparing
the specimens of this plant with the original M. empetriformis from Mr. Menzies, I cannot but think
them truly distinct. The latter is a much stouter and taller plant, the branches clothed with a smooth
white shining bark, the leaves are flatter and thinner towards the edges, the margins distinctly toothed, and
so curved back as to form a dorsal groove (“ concave beneath,” Sm.), the flowers are longer, and the style is
included,
6. M. intermedia; decandra, foliis linearibus obtusis obscure glanduloso-serratis, floribus

cylindraceo-campanulatis glabris, stylo incluso.
Hab. Woods and open places in the Rocky Mountains. Drummond.—The longer and less expanded corolla,
included style, and acuminated calycine segments, distinguish this from M. Grahamii, as do the cam-
panulate corolla, nearly entire leaves, and smaller size of the whole plant, from M. casrulea.

Hab. Alpine- woods north of the Smoking River, in lat. 56°. Drummond.—This plant, which does
not appear to be known to any of the living American Botanists, seems nevertheless to have an extensive
rano-e, bein'»1 found in Pennsylvania by Muhlenberg, according to Pui^h, and on the high mountains of
Virginia and Carolina by Michaux, according to Pursh and Dr. Sims, for Michaux’s Flora gives no station.
It has been cultivated in the English Gardens, and the Botanical Magazine exhibits an excellent representation
of our plant. The constantly obovate, more membranaceous leaves, glaucous beneath, the comparatively
obsolete glands and hairs, and the different shape of the corolla, will surely abundantly distinguish
this species from the true M. ferruginea, which is, besides, exclusively a native of the shores of the Pacific.
The latter becomes almost black when dry; the former remains of a delicate green.
