ovatis cordatisque sinuato-dentatis, pedunculis axillaribus unifloris folio duplo triplove
longioribus, calycibus ovatis dentibus perbrevibus subasqualibus, corolla flava maculis

dentatis 5-nerviis floralibus brevioribus subovatis, pedunculis folio brevioribus, calycibus
demum inflatis.
H a b . Columbia River. Dr Scouler.—There are no flowers to these specimens, but the leaves are very
different from any of the preceding in shape, and very unlike the M. ringens in nervation and in the calyx. .
7. M. roseus (Lindl.); erectus, pubescenti-viscidus, foliis ovato-acuminatis 5-nerviis
sessilibus inferioribus praecipue dentatis subaequalibus, corollas laciniis lato-oblongis ob-
tusis subaqualibus— Lindl- Bot. Beg. t. 1591. Hook Bot. Mag. t. 3353. M. Lewisii.
Ph. Am. 2. p. 427 ?—/3. gldbrior.
H a b . p. Mountains N. of the Smoking River (.Drummond) ; apparently very rare, or too early for the
blossoming, for there are only two specimens in the collection, and only one in flower; and these are more
glabrous than Mr Douglas’s specimens, which, as far as I know, were all gathered in California.—I think
the M. Lewisii, Ph. is probably a dwarf state of this species.
8. M. ringens. L __Bot. Mag. t. 426. Ph. Am. 2. p. 426.
Hab. Throughout Canada to the Saskatchawan.
9. M. primuloides (Benth.); caule perbrevi parce hirsute stolonifero subulate, foliis

minali, calycibus tubulosis breviter dentatis.—Benth. 1. c. p. 29.

Eaton’s L. subulata, according to specimens received from Mr Greene, only differs in its narrower leaves, in
which state it is sometimes found in Europe.

p. 39.
H a b . Sitcha, N.W.C. Bongard.—The specimen which M. Bongard has kindly sent to me appears to
differ from V. alpina P. only in being more glabrous, and in having the upper part of the stem- drooping ;
but that author rather compares it with V. Stelleri, to which he says it is “ maxime affinis, sed distincta caule
semper nutante, corymbo paucifloro, floribus triplo minoribus, corolla intus glabra, capsula subglabra (nec
pilosa), calycem vix superante (nec sesquilongiore), stylo- calyce multo breviore terminata.”

H a b . Unalaschka. Chamisso.— The habit and leaves are those of V. Ponce, and the capsule similar to
that of V. alpina P., from which the foliage and longer style, and larger and more pedicellated flowers, will
distinguish it.
