2 GJiamisso (in Serb. »osfr.j— Tbe same plant is found at Kamtsctaatka by Pallas, Langsdorff, and
Beechev.—The long leafy stem, and obovate very obtuse foliage, give a remarkable appearance to the
plant • and I cannot but think that this very northern Triadalis is, like the preceding, a really distinct
species It has quite the habit of a Samolus. In all, the number of the parts of the flower varies from 6,
which is most usual, to 7. In this and the preceding, the margins of the leaves are quite enure, m the
T. Americana and Europoea slightly (but when seen under a microscope distinctly) serrulated.

Young leaves frequently arisiug from the anils of the older ones, give them an appearance of being verticillate.

in the vicinity of the Saskatchawan, with broader leaves, of a pale green colour when dry, and with the
spike generally 4-5 inches long. In other particulars the plants agree with the European P. laneeolata.
