Hab. Arctic sea-coast» July, Aug., 1826. Dr. Richardson.—Flowers most abundant, and of a brilliant
lilac colour. It must be allowed that Dr. Richardson, and Messrs. Drummond and Douglas, have been
pre-eminently successful in discovering new and beautiful species of the Genus Phlox in.N. America,
especially if we take into account the P. Drummondii (from the southern extremity of that vast country),
which is now the pride and ornament of our gardens. It is much to be lamented that these more hardy
species from the north have not yet been introduced alive to our collections; for there is no doubt, from
the rich variety in the colour of their blossoms, and the great quantity of flowers yielded by every little
tuft, that they would be nearly, if not quite, as ornamental as P. Drummondii.

Has Sandy soils at Oakanagnnca and Wallawollab, rather rare: flowers white, delicate. Douglas.—
Mr. Douglas afterwards saw this curious species (ah? another of the same section) more abundantly in Cali-
fornia. They and the G. pusilla have the habit of Arenaria, as observed by Mr. Bentham: perhaps still
more that of Spergida.

the southern United States.
