The United States National Ilerbariunu which was founded by the Smithsonian Institution, was transferred in the year 1868 to the Department of Agriculture, and continued to be maintained by that Department until July 1, ISDG, when it was returned to the official custody of the Smithsonian Institution. The Department of Agri- culttire, however, continued to publish the series of botanical reports entitled " Contributions from the U. S. National Herbarium," begun in the year 1890, until, on July 1, 1002, the National Museum, in pur- suance of an act of Congress, asstnned responsibility for the publi- cation. The first seven volumes of the series were issued by the Department of Agriculture.

PIPER WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 19 06 c./- BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Issued October 8, 1906. PREFACE. The followino; account of the flora of the State of Washing-ton, by Prof. C. V. Piper, is based on his study of the phmts of that State durino- a period of twenty years. This worlv was carried on in chance liours of leisure and in occasional summer vacations. During most of the college year 1890-11)00, however. Professor Piper was at the Gray Herbarium looking up critical material and examining the specimens of older collectors, especially those upon which publications had been based. Considerable time was devoted also to other large herbaria, particularly those of the United States National Museum, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and of the New York Botanical Garden. The private herl)aria of Prof. L. F. Henderson, of jSIr. Thomas Howell, and of Mv. W. N. Suksdorf were likewise freely consulted. ^Nlost of the types of the new species published by Professor Piper in the present work and in earlier papers are in the United States National Herbarium, and a large part of the whole material on which this flora is based is also represented there. In the course of his work Professor Piper examined specimens of nearly all the collections made within the confines of the State of Washington, so far as these are to be found in American herbaria. Thus it was possible to ascertain the identity of nearly all the species which had been accredited to the State through erroneous determi- nation. Unfortunately several of the specimens upon which the names in published lists were based are not now to be found in the herbaria in which they might be expected. This is true particu- larly of Cooper's plants and in less degree of those of the Wilkes Expedition, so that the identity of such plants can only be surmised. In publications on the collections of Menzies, Douglas, Scouler, and Tolmie there are many plant names that can be definiteh^ rectified only by examining the original specimens. It is quite certain also that the current interpretation of a number of species based on these (>arly collections is erroneous. Their correction will require an exam- ination of the types, which are in European herbaria. With few exceptions no species has been admitted into this flora unless its author has actually studied Washington specimens. In the course of the preparation of this work Professor Pijjer be- came indebted to many botanists for assistance. He states that he 5 6 PKEFACE. is under especial obligations to Prof. B. L, Robinson, of the Gray Herljariiim, for kindly counsel, as well as for much aid in the genus Lupinus; to Mr. Frederick V. Coville, of the National Herbarium, for his continuous helpful advice; to Dr. N. L. Britton, of the New York Botanical Garden, Mr. Stewardson Brown, of the Acad- emy of Sciences of Philadelphia, and Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, of the Field Columbian Museum, for the privileges of consulting the her- baria of which they have charge; to Mr. M. L. Fernald, of the Gray Herbarium, for technical assistance in various genera; to Dr. J. M. Greenman, of the Field Columbian Museum, for aid in Senecio; to Mr. A. A. Faton, for a key to the species of Isoetes; to JMr. P. L. Ricker and Mr. W. F. Wight, of the Department of Agriculture, for assistance in bibliograpiiy ; to Dr. Theodor Holm and Prof. C. F. A\lieeler for aid in the genus Carex. Thanks are extended to the many persons who have favored Pro- fessor Piper with their collections of Washington plants, especially Mr. Kirk Whited, of Wenache, Washington ; Prof. R. M. Horner, of Waitsburg, Washington; Prof. J. B. Flett, of Tacoma, Washington, and Mr. M. W. Gorman, of Portland, Oregon. For the privilege of examining their private herbaria Professor Piper is indebted to Mr. Thomas Howell, of Milwaukee, Oregon ; to Mr. W. N. Suksdorf, of Bingen, Washington, and to Prof. L. F.

The principal aim of the author in this work is to present a sum- mary of-our present kno^Yledg■e of tlie vascuhir phmts of Washington and to call attention to the more important problems, both taxonomic and ecological, which have become disclosed. Simple keys to the genera and species are inserted so as to give the work a wider usefulness. The nomenclature aims to follow the recently proposed Philadel- phia Code. In accordance with the rules of this code in the matter of generic names, it is not improbable that several of those here used will have to be changed when the necessary bibliographical researches have been made. As the important synonomy is here given with each species, there will be little difficulty in coordinating the name adopted with any other connnonly used heretofore, or which may be proposed hereafter. As regards the limitation of species the author has in the main adopted i: rather conservative attitude. Some of the recently i)ro- posed species seem well founded even if the differences are slight. In other cases the species or subspecies seem to be based on too slight characters and are therefore unworthy of nomenclatorial recogni- tion. As one's acceptance or rejection of a proposed species depends in i^art on personal judgment, and in i)art on the evidence available, attention is, in nearly all cases, called to those which the author rejects. In all such cases additional material, as well as careful field notes, is desirable for the better understanding of the forms in question. In the matter of the tendency common at present to raise to generic rank what have heretofore been considered subgenera, the writer likewise takes a conservative attitude. It is at least doubtful if the very large number of new names thus occasioned does not more than counterbalance any advantage argued in favor of the practice. Certainly the carrying of the practice to such an extreme that genin-a are considered to be made up of species of similar habit, rather than to be based on structural characters, seems inadvisable. Xeither does it impress one as a valid argument that, because in some extremely natural families the genera must perforce be based on very slig:ht 9 10 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. differences, similar characters must be given equal consideration in all families. The Pacific northwest is a region with great physiographic and correspondingly great climatic dilt'erences. In consonance with the physical factors there are many and striking peculiarities in the dis- tribution of the plant species occupying this area, and the attempt is here made on the basis of the Avriter's familiarity with the region, and the recorded data of others, to determine some of the complex causes which have brought about the present plant distribution. It is more than possible that some of the conclusions here reached or suggested may be based quite as much on our lack of knowledge as on definite information. A^^iile this may eventually prove to be the case, the suggestions here advanced may nevertheless serve as working hypotheses wdien a more complete botanical survey shall be undertaken. Many of the data upon which the origin of the present flora of Washington depends must be sought to the southward, a region here considered only incidentally, but which must needs be more fully explored before certain conclusions here suggested can be either veri- fied or overthrown. THE BOTANICAL EXPLORERS OF WASHINGTON. The following brief account of the botanical explorers of Wash- ington refers to their labors mainly in so far as they concern the region covered by tliis work. Inasmuch as both Washington and Idaho were included in Oregon until 18.53, many of the earlier col- lecti(ms in these States are ascribed simply to " Oregon," though AVashington and north Idaho are sometimes referred to as " Upper Oregon," notably in Geyer's explorations. Before the name Oregon !>ecame attached to the northwest Pacific region the interior portions, especially south Idaho and eastern Oregon, were more or less vaguely included in '' ITpper California," a phrase not unusual on Douglas's plant labels, and quite frequently used in the Botany of Boechev's Voyage. Still earlier than this the name "" Xew Georgia " wa.-. em- ployed, mainly for the region l)()rdering Puget Sound and the (lulf of Georgia. The most vague term of all, " Northwest Coast," has been made by different writers to include everything from the northern l)oundarv of California to Prince William Sound, Alaska, and the approximate meaning of this phrase can be gleaned in each case where used only by indirect means. The botanical explorations of Washington are conveniently grouped into two periods. The first of these includes all the explorers previous to 1800, namely, Menzies, Lewis, Douglas, Scouler, Tolmie, Gairdner, ^Vyeth, Nuttall, Pickering and Brackenridge, Geyer, Spalding, Jef- PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 11 frey, Cooper, and Lyall. Besides these may be mentioned Mo(^'ino, who botanized at Nootka Sound, Vancouver Ishind, in 1T*.)2, and Thaddens Haenke, who was at the same phice in ITOI. Nootka Sound, an important harbor in early times, was also visited by Menzies and by Scouler, and (•()nse(iuently is the type locality of many northwestern s}K'cies. MENZIES. Archibald Menzies (1754-1842) was the surgeon and naturalist with Vancouver during his explorations from 171)0 to 171)5, during which time a thorough exploration was made of Puget Sound and adjacent waters, and of the Columbia River as far up as the site of Fort Vancouver. Previous to this time Menzies had alieady visited the " North-west Coast" in a trading vessel and had made some col- lections. Sets of his plants are at Kew and in the British Museum. A very few are in the Gray Herbarium. In descriptions, Menzies's plants are connnonly ascribed to the '' Northwest Coast," or to " New Georgia." A considerable number are definitely known to have been collected at Nootka Sound, and it would ])erhaps be possible to ascer- tain the exact source of most of them. I.EWIS. In conjunction with William Chirk, Meriwether Lewis (1774- ISOD) made the famous transcontinental exjdoration in 1804-1800. All of his botanical collections that concern AVashington plants were )uade on the return trip in 1800, and it has been possible from the labels on the specimens and the detailed journals of the expedition to determine accurately where each specimen was gathered. Most of these which concern Washington plants were collected, or described, from Fort Clatsop, near Astoria, Oreg. ; at the Cascades, or " Grand Pvapids " of the Columbia; at '^ Fort Rock Camp," or The Dalles of the Columbia ; at Camp Chopunnish, on the Clearwater, opposite the ])resent town of Kamiah, Idaho, and at " Quamash Flats," now Weippe Prairie, Idaho. Lewis's plants Avere described by Pursh in 1814 in Flora Americae Septentrionalis. A nearly complete set of Ills specimens is in the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences. A few of these are Pursh's actual types, but most of them are duplicates. A curious fact pointed out by Coues is that whenever Lewis described a plant in detail in his journal he rarely collected a specimen. This is notably true of the trees in the vicinity of Fort Clatsop, which Lewis descrilied wnth considerable care. Rafinesque afterwards gave botan- ical names to these trees, based wholly on Lewis's desciiptions. 12 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM TtlE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. DOUGLAS. David Douglas (17!)0-1834), a Scotch botanist sent out )jy the London Horticultural Society, made extensive collections in two journeys, the first from 1824 to 1827. In this journey Douglas explored the larger portion of what is now Washington and much of Oregon and Idaho. He returned to England in 1827, traveling over- land from Fort Vancouver to Hudson Bay, where he fortunately found a whaling vessel. The second journey occupied the years 1830 to 1833. The summer of 1830 was spent in Washington and Oregon. From Deceml)er, 1830, to October, 1832, he was in California and the Hawaiian Islands, whence he again reached the Columbia Kiver October 23, 1832. The ensuing twelve months were spent in Wash- ington and Oregon. October 18, 1833, Douglas sailed from the mouth of the Columbia to the Hawaiian Islands, where he met his death July 12, 1831. During all of his trips Douglas kej^t a journal, and this is now in the possession of the London Horticultural Society. The principal parts of this journal were published after Douglas's death in the " Companion to the Botanical Magazine," by Sir W. J. Hooker, in 1830. This paper has recently l)een reprinted by the Oregon Histor- ical Society. From it the following ej)itome of Douglas's northwest- ern explorations are drawn : Eeaching Fort Vancouver April 19, 1825, Douglas spent the first two months collecting in the immediate vicinity. From June 20 to August 5 he 1)otanized along the Columbia between Vancouver and The Dalles. On August 19 he started up the Willamette, reaching a point 38 kilometers (24 miles) above the falls. The second week in September he ascended the high mountains on each side of the Columbia, a very arduous task. On the mountain on the south side, he discovered Ahies amahilis and A. nohilis. The time from Octo- ber 22 until November 15 was spent in a trip to the mouth of the Columbia, thence up the coast to Willapa and Gray harbors. From the latter place he ascended the Chehalis River and returned to X-aw- couver down the Cowlitz. Owing to extremely bad weather, all the collections of this trip were lost. The Avinter was spent at Fort Vancouver. March 20, 1820. Douglas started for Fort Walla Walla, now the site of Wallula, which he reached on the 28th. April 1 he was at Priest Eapids, April 0 at the mouth of the Okanogan, and April 11 at the mouth of the Spokane, where he remained eight days. Aj^ril 19 he started for Kettle Falls, where much of the time until June 4 was spent. Proceeding overland to Walla Walla, he remained there until June 19. During the three weeks succeeding he made two trips into the Blue Mountains. On July 17 he started up the Snake Iliver, PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 13 reaching the mouth of the Clearwater July 24. Douglas collected about the present site of Lewiston and in the adjacent Craig Moun- tains until the 30th. Jul}^ 31 he started overland for Kettle Falls, which he reached August 4, going by way of Old Fort 'Spokane. Here he remained until the 18th, when he proceeded to Fort Okano- gan on horseback, thence doAvn the Columbia, reaching Vancouver August 31. The remainder of this season was spent in a trip to the head of the Umpqua River, where he discovered the sugar pine, near the present site of Roseburg. On March 20, 1827, he started for England, going up the Columbia to Kettle Falls on foot. From here lie made his way across the continent to Hudson Bay, whence he sailed in a whaling ship. On Douglas's second journey he reached the Columl)ia June 3, 1831. ]\Iost of this season was spent in the Blue ]Mountains region, where he collected " one hundred new species '' of plants. From October 10 until December 23 he was at the mouth of the Columbia. From then until October 23, 1832, he was in California and the Sandwich Islands. Reaching the Columbia again October 23, 1832, he si:)ent tlie fall collecting mosses and seaweeds along the coast. In the spring of 1833 he again ascended the Cohnnbia, reaching Fort Oka- nogan April 0. The early part of the summer was spent on Fraser River, but all his collections were lost by the upsetting of his canoe, and Douglas barely escaped with his life. July 15, 1833, he was again at Walla Walla, whence he made excursions for the third time into the Blue Mountains. October 18, 1833, he sailed from the mouth of the Columbia. The extent and amount of this man's collections during the three seasons he spent in the Xorthwest almost suipass belief. His collections are described in Hooker's Flora Boreali-Americana. A few of his duplicates are in the Gray Herbarium, but the most complete set is at Kew. SCOULER. Dr. John Scouler (1804-1871) was the companion of Douglas on Ids first journey. His collections were conhned to the single season of 1825. During April and May he collected with Douglas mainly at the mouth of the Columbia and at Fort Vancouver. From June until September Scouler spent on a trip to Xootka Sound and return, during which he is said to have visited nearly every harbor along that stretch of coast. Some of his specimens are labeled " Straits of de Fuca ; " others " Xootka Sound." Tlie best set is in the Brit- ish Museum. Scouler's manuscript journal is in the possession of the Oregon Historical Society and, it is stated, will soon be published. 14 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. TOLMIE. Dr. AV. F. Tolmie (died in ISSO) went to Fort Vancouver in 1832 as a medical officer to the Hudson Bay Company. He had been a pupil of Sir W. J. Hooker, to Avhom he sent many botanical speci- mens. Tohnie's duties caused him to travel quite widely in the Northwest, but little is known of the details of his journeys. He was the first botanist to visit Mount Rainier, on the slopes of which he collected in 1837. Tolmie's specimens are mostly labeled " Fort Vancouver,'' '' Multnomah River,"' and " N. W, Coast." Many speci- mens collected in the " Snake country " of south Idaho and described in the Botany of Beechey^s Voyage, are usually accredited to Tolmie, though he ex^jressly states that they were gathered for him by a friend. GAIRDNER. Dr. Meredith Gairdner, a surgeon of the Hudson Bay Company, collected a few plants about Fort Vancouver, where he died prior to 1840. His sj^ecimens are at Kew. Garum (jairdncru the finest food plant of the northwestern Indians, commemorates his name. WYETH. Nathaniel Wyeth, the adventurous and enterprising American trav- eler and trader, crossed the continent on his first journey in 1832. On his return trip in 1833 he crossed the mountains in north Idaho, and nuide a small collection of plants on the Flathead River. These Avere described by his friend, Nuttall, in the Journal of the Phila- delphia Academy of Sciences, new series, volume 7. Wyeth's jour- nals were published in 1880 by the Oregon Historical Society. NUTTALL. Thomas Nuttall (178G-1859), an Englishman by birth, one of the most acute and able of American botanists, spent the years 1834 to 1836 botanizing in the West. He was a member of Wyeth's second expedition, crossing the continent by the " Oregon Trail." He reached Fort Walla Walla about September 3, 1834, and Fort Van- couver September l(x On the overland trip Nuttall collected a very large number of species, considering the circumstances. December 11 he sailed for the Sandwich Islands, returning to the Columbia the following spring. His headquarters during 1835 were on Sauvie Island, at the mouth of the Willamette River, then called Wappatoo Island. Nuttall made but fcAv and short excursions from his base, apparently finding enough to occupy his energies there. He did, however, collect about the Willamette Falls, Fort Vancouver, and the mouth of the Columbia. His original collection is in the British PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 15 Museum, but good sets of his specimens are in the Gray and Torrey herbaria, and many others are in the Phihidel2)hia Academy of Sciences. PICKERING AND BRACKENRIDGE. Dr. Charles Pickering and ]\Ir. W. I). P)rackenrido-e were the botanists of the exploring expedition under Connnodore Wilkes. Their botanical explorations so far as Washington is concerned were "briefly as follows: IMay 2, 1841, the expedition was at Port Discovery, remaining there until the 6th instant. On the trip up Puget Sound stops were made at Appletree Cove and Port Madison. The expedi- tion reached Fort Nisqually May 11, which place became the headquarters for the ex^^lorations in the interior. Pickering and Brackenridge were attached to Lieutenant Johnson's party, which left Nisqually May 20 and crossed the Cascade Mountains by way of the Indian trail up White River. They reached the summit on the 2Gth instant, remaining there two days, descending on the east side down the Spipen or Naches River. Leaving this river near its mouth the party traveled northward to the Yakima and thence over the Wenache Mountains to the Wenache River. From here the route was up the Columbia to F'ort Okanogan, which was reached June 8. June 10 the journey was resumed eastward uj) the Columbia, and Fort Colville was reached June 15. From Fort Colv-ille the party traveled southward, reaching Lapwai, Idaho, on June 25. A two days' trip from here brought the party to Fort Walla Walla, where they remained until July 1. From here their route led up the Yakima and Naches rivers and thence over the mountains by the outgoing route. Several other exploring parties were also sent out from Nisqually, but the onh^ botanical specimens collected by the expedition seem to have been gathered by Pickering and Brackenridge. The results are included in two of the large volumes devoted to the scientific results of the expedition. LTnfortunately the original labels of the specimens seem in some way to have become intermixed, with the result that a good many plants confined to eastern Wash- ington bear such labels as " Port Discovery " and " Nisqually," while other species confined to western Washington are labeled '' Walla Walla," or " North Fork of the Columbia." On some sheets eastern and western Washington species are mixed, and mounted over a single label. With the details of the party's itinerary known, it is l^ossible, however, to tell with some accuracy Avhere the specimens must have been gathered. 16 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. GEYER. Charles A. Geyer, a German botanist who had previously botan- ized extensively in Illinois, and who later was attached to Nicollet's expedition, traversed the continent with a party of missionaries, and in November, 1S43, crossed a high spnr of the " Green " (Bitterroot) Mountains from the Flathead to the Spokane or Coeur d'Alene River, and passed the winter at Chamokane Mission, situated on Chamo- kane Creek, about 10 miles from its jiniction with the Spokane.- During- the season of 1844 Geyer made excursions northward to Old Fort Colville on the Columbia, southeastward up the Spokane IJiver and into the mountains about Lake Canir d'Alene, and southward to the Palouse River and to Lapwai Mission, near the mouth of the Clearwater. From here he explored the Craig Mountains of Idaho. Journeying overland to Fort AValla AValla he descended the Colum- bia, and reached Fort Vancouver November 13, 1844, whence he sailed to England. Geyer's account of the flora of the regions explored by him is re- ma rkal)ly good. A nearly complete set of his plants is in the (jrray Herbarium. SPALDING. Rev. Henry Spalding was a missionary to the Nez Perce Indians and founder of Lapwai Mission near the mouth of the Clearwater River, Idaho. In this vicinity Spalding collected a good many plants which are in the Gray Ilerbarium. Most of them are labeled " Clearwater, Oregon," but inasmuch as a number of them have not since been found near Lai)wai it is not improbable that they were col- lected elscAvhere. Spalding traveled quite extensively in the course of his labors, and doubtless gathered some of his specimens at other places than Clearwater, as, indeed, some few of the labels indicate. His notes on the Indian food plants are most interesting and often quite detailed. According to the testimony of his son, the late H. H. Spalding, the specimens were largely gathered by his mother. LYALL. Dr. David Lyall was the surgeon and botanist attached to the In- ternational Boundary Survey. His work, so far as it relates to Washington, was during the years 1858 to 1860, inclusive. During 1858 lie made collections on Vancouver Island and on the smaller islands and the mainland near the forty-ninth parallel. In 1851) the western slopes of the Cascades near the boundary were exi)loi-ed. In 18()0 the surveyors went up the Columbia, di\'iding at The Dalles into two parties. One party, which Lyall acconq^anied, traveled in a northerly direction, past Fort Simcoe, across the Naches and other PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASlIINtiTON. 17 tributaries of the Yakima, thence over the A\\'iiaehe Mountains to the Cohimbia, which was reached just below the mouth of the Wena- che. From here the party followed the Columbia and Okanogan to Lake Osoyoos. Following up the Similkameen and Ashnola the party formed a camp at 1,()T0 meters (5,480 feet) elevation on the boundary, where they remained some time. The other party proceeded to Fort Walla AValla and thence north- ward, crossing the Snake at the mouth of the Palouse and })assing Kock Lake on the route to Fort Colville. The collections of this party were made by John Buttle, but the specimens seem all to be credited to Lyall. During the year ISOO the survey was completed nearly to the Idaho line. LyalPs account of his botanical observations is brief, but very inter- esting. A nearly comj^lete set of his plants is in the Gray Herbarium. JEFFBEY. John Jeffrey, a Scotch botanist, was sent out by some patrons to collect the seeds of plants of horticultural interest in the region traversed by Douglas, " to complete his researches, and to extend them into those parts of the country not fully explored by him." Jelfrey was at Fort Colville May 13, 1851, reaching that point from the northward. During this season he spent much of the time in north- ern Washington and adjacent British Cohimbia. Late in the season he was on JNIount Baker. In May of the following year Jefi'rey was at Fort Nisqually, and during June and July at Fort Vancouver. His remaining explorations were all southw^ard. Very little is known of Jeffrey's specimens, as none exist in Ameri- can herbaria, and but little has been published concerning them. COOPER. Dr. J. G. Cooper collected in various jDortions of Washington from 1853 till 1855, in connection with the Stevens Survey of the forty-eighth parallel. An annotated list of his plants, including also some collected by Dr. George Gibbs and Dr. G. Suckley, is pub- lished in the Pacific liailroad Reports, volume 12, part 2. COLLECTORS SINCE 1860. Among botanical collectors since 18G0 none has done more to explore the flora of the State than Mr. W. N. Suksdorf, of Bingen, who for twenty-five years past has been an assiduous student of plants. His most important collections -have been made in Klickitat County, but he has gathered much material also in Spokane and Whatcom counties, and elsewhere. Sets of his plants are in all the principal 294-18—06 M 2 18 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. herbaria, while his priAate collection is among the best in the North- west. Mr. Thomas Howell, whose long and extensive labors have mainl}' been limited to Oregon, has nevertheless collected nmch in Washing- ton, esjDecially in the connties bordering on the Columbia. Mr. Howell's herbarium is now in the possession of the Oregon State University, but sets of his plants are Avidely distributed. A con- siderable collection of Klickitat County plants was also made by Mr. Josejjh Howell. Professor L. F. Henderson, wdio has also collected much in Oregon, gathered rich material in the Olympic Mountains in 1800, and in 1892 traveled over much of the State to make a collection for the Columbian World's Fair. This is now^ in the State University at Seattle. Professor Henderson's i:)rivate herbarium, one of the most comjjlete in its representation of North Pacific plants, was luifor- nately burned in the recent fire that destroyed the main building of the University of Idaho. Mr, T. S. Brandegee, Mr. Frank Tweedy, and Prof. E. W. Hilgard w^ere associated with the North Transcontinental Survey organized in connection with the Northern Pacific Railway under Villard's presidency. In connection with this work extensive collections were made, especially by Brandegee, in Walla Walla, Yakima, and Kitti- tas counties. The best set of these plants is in the Canby Herbarium, now- in the Ncav York College of Pharmacy. Dr. Sereno Watson visited Washington in 1880 in connection with the Tenth Census Survey of the forests. He made small collections at Yakima Pass, Lake Chelan, Fort Colville, and Spokane. The specimens are in the CJray Herbarium. Charles A. Rannn collected a small set of plants in 1883 in Spokane County, which were sent to Doctor Gray. Mr. George R. Vasey made extensive collections for the Department of Agriculture in 1889, principally in Yakima, Kittitas, and King counties. Sets of his plants are in the principal herbaria. His specimens, unfortunately, lack data regarding their exact place of collection. Mr. F. Binns collected plants from 1888 to 1890 about Port Ludlow, and sent them to the Gray Herbarium. Rev. Ernest C. Smith botanized in the vicinity of Seattle in 1889 and 1890, in the latter j^ear making collections on Mount Rainier. Dr. E. L. Greene collected in 1889 about Clealum, Yakima, and on Mount Rainier. Mr. J. M. Grant sent a few plants to the Gray Herbarium, col- lected in the Olympic Mountains in 1889. INIrs. Susan Tucker made collections near Cheney in 1889, and again in 1903. PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 19 Prof. E. II. Lake and INIr. W. K.

II) will render clear the prin- cipal physiographic features of the State of Washington. It may conveniently be considered to be made up of seven regions, namely, the Pacific Coastal Plain, the Olympic Mountains, the Puget Sound Basin, the Cascade Mountains, the Columbia Basin, the Okanogan Highlands, and the Blue Mountains. THE PACIFIC COASTAL PLAIN. This is a narrow strip of land in immediate proximity to the Pa- cific Ocean and the Straits of Juan de Fuca. It is watered by numerous short streams from the Olympic Mountains and from the low Coast Mountains in Chehalis and Pacific counties. The largest stream, the Chehalis River, rises in the Cascade Mountains, and its valley connects the coastal plain with the Puget Sound Basin. The formation of most of the land is quite similar to that of the Puget Sound Basin, described below. The distinctive features are, first, the low strip of sandy land, seldom over a mile wide, formed by the inland drifting of the ocean sand ; second, the steep rocky bluffs which face the ocean at the mouth of the Columbia River and in a few places near Cape Flattery, and third, the coastal plain proper. This region is characterized by having a very great rainfall, ranging from 200 to 300 centimeters (80 to 120 inches) annually. Contr. Nat. Hoib., Vol. XI. Plate II. Contr. Nat. Herb., Vol. XI.

PIPER— FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 21 THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS. This is an almost circular group of mountains, Avhich occupies much of Clallam, JeH'erson, INIason, and Chehalis counties. The mountains are quite isolated. The_y consist of numerous peaks, vary- ing in height from 1,800 to over 2,300 meters ((;,000 to 7,500 feet), the highest being Mount Olympus, altitude '2S)'?,H uieters (8,131 feet). Owing to their isolated position the drainage froui these mountains is in all directions, but the largest streams flow into the Pacific Ocean. Nearly all the streams head in small glaciers. These mountains are very difficult of exploration, and their geol- ogy is l)ut little'known. The peaks consist, for the most part, at least, of a laminated igneous rock which dips at a very steep angle, so that the sunnnits of the ridges and peaks are often exceedingly narrow, not rarely indeed being hollowed out beneath by the falling rock. The age of these rocks is unknown. The streams have all worn very deep gorges along their courses almost to the center of the mountains. This is due, perhaps, more to the soft character of the rock than to the lapse of a great period of time. This fact, however, renders it exceedingly difficult, and often impossible, to pass from one dividing ridge to another. Owing to the circumstance of these mountains standing first in the path of the moist Pacific Avinds the precipitation of rain and snow is very great. In exceptional seasons some of the glaciers may ])e of annual duration only. Such a glacier may disappear entirely by the end of the summer, the snowfall of the succeeding Avinter being sufficient to form it again. The (^lymi)ics are really a portion of the coast system of mountains, isolated, owing to the fact that the portion of the system in south- west Washington consists only of hills Avhich rise to little over 300 meters in height, through which the Chehalis Itiver forms a l)road gap. The portion of the system to the northward is widely severed by the Straits of Juan de Fuca. THE PUGET SOUND BASIN. This term is applied to the broad valley lying l)etween the coast system of mountains and the Cascades. It has an average breadth of about 80 kilometers (50 miles). Much of the central portion of the basin near the head of Puget Sound is comparatively flat, and less than 30 meters above sea level. Along the greater portion of the Sound the shores rise abruptly, often in bluffs 30 meters high (PI. Ill), thence sloping more or less gently into hills 90 to 200 meters high or more. The basin proper may conveniently be limited for our purpose by the 700-meter (2,300-foot) contour line. 22 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. In its late geological history the region was covered by great glacial deposits derived mainly from the adjacent mountains. These de- posits consist of clay, gravel, or sand, often somewhat stratified. Pure deposits of each 30 meters thick or more are common. The total thickness of the glacial deposit has been estimated at from 150 to 300 meters. The whole region is densely timbered with the exception of a series of small gravelly plains. These are largest and most abundant in the central part of the basin, but similar ones occur near Van- couver, and on Whidby and other islands. Likewise the tips of many of the points projecting into Puget Sound have the same gravelly soil, accompanied by a characteristic flora and fauna. These gravelly prairies are plainly formed by flowing water, and are gen- erally considered to be deposited l)y post-glacial streams. Very similar prairies occur along the Willamette Valley. They form, in- deed, an interrupted series from the middle part of that valley north- ward to Vancouver Island. Owing to the very gravelly soil of these prairies, they partake of a semiarid condition. Indeed, the flora contains many species identical with those of eastern Washington. The drainage of the basin is mainly into Puget Sound, the princi- pal rivers coming from the Cascades, but the Cowlitz River and various smaller streams in the extreme southern part of the l)asin, flow into the Columbia. These streams for the main part originate in glaciers, and all of them have formed rather narrow valleys largely of glacial detritus. THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS. These mountains vary in breadth from 100 to 125 kilometers (80 to 100 miles) , traversing the State in a course a little easterly of a true north direction. The altitude of the main uplift varies from 1,800 to 2,100 meters (6,000 to 7,000 feet). The important peaks which conspicuously exceed this altitude are Mount Baker, in Whatcom County, altitude 3,335 meters (10,825 feet); Glacier Peak, Snoho- mish County, said to be 3,214 meters (10,430 feet) high; Mount Stuart, Kittitas County, 2,903 meters high (9,479 feet) ; Mount Tiainier, on the dividing line of Pierce and Thurston counties, the highest peak of the Cascade system, 4,475 meters high (14,530 feet) ; INIount Adams, Klickitat County, altitude 3,819 meters (12,401 feet), and Mount St. Helens, Skamania County, 2,947 meters high (9,570 feet). These tall peaks are all capped with perpetual snow, and rise far above the limits of ordinary plant life. With the exception of Glacier Peak and INIount Stuart they are all volcanic cones. The Cascade Mountains form the most important topographical feature of the State as affecting the distribution of plant life. The prevailing southwest winds from the Pacific are by them deprived PIPER FLORA OF TPIE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 23 of most of their moisture, the result being that the region to the east- ward is not only nuich drier, even to semidesert conditions in limited areas, but also much warmer in summer. The plants and animals adapted to such conditions are necessarily very different, as a rule, from those that thrive in the moist region to the westward. It is very clear that the Cascades serve as a barrier, primarily because of the difference in humidity eastward and westward which they occasion, and not because of their altitude. Many of the passes over these mountains are but a little over 1,000 meters in altitude, not FufRciently high even in this period to prevent many plants from migrating through, especially in the wake of forest fires. As a matter of fact the rainfall influences the vegetation for a considerable dis- tance cloAvn the eastern sloj^es of the mountains, the flora of the main range down to about 1,000 meters altitude being largely composed of species of the coast region. In Washington proper no stream traverses the Cascade Mountains, but on the southern border is the great gap through which the Columbia Kiver flows. This enormous gorge gives rise to peculiar local conditions, which find marked expression in the flora. Through this gap, too, the coastal flora, aided by the prevailing upstream humid winds, penetrates farther eastward than usual. Still, at the village of 'Wliite Salmon there is an unmistakable dividing line between the humid and the semiarid floras. Nearly all of the many streams that arise in the Cascades flow through deep gorges, once occupied by glaciers. Indeed, many of the streams, especially those heading about the higher peaks, still find their birth in glaciers. The Cascade range north of the forty-seventh parallel is composed largely of granite and other metamorphic rocks. Mount Rainier and the entire range southward to its extremity in northern California is on the contrary almost entirely made up of volcanic rocks. Recent investigations in the geology of these mountains disclose in part a very complex history, but indicate that the principal uplift took place either in late Pliocene or early Pleistocene time, and subsequent to the great outpourings of lava that make up most of the region between the Cascades and the Rockies. From a liiological point of view the changes brought about by the Cascade uplift were profound. Undoubtedly it transformed the climate of the region to the eastward from one relatively moist to one distinctly arid, and at the same time increased greatly the humidity of the region to the westward. This climatic change, particularly in the interior, must have been accompanied by a correspondingly great change in the, flora. The peculiar make-up of the Columbia Basin flora of the present time indicates with more or less clearness some of the resultant effects of the Cascade uplift. 24 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. THE OKANOGAN HIGHLANDS. These mountains occiijiy the northeast portion of the State, inchid- ing most of Stevens and Ferry counties. To the southward they pass gradually into the Columbia Plains. To the westward they are naturally limited by the Okanogan River. The Okanogan Highlands consist mainly of gently rounded hills, rising into peaks l,r)00 to 2,000 meters high, (jeologically they are similar to the northern part of the Cascades, and are composed largely of granite. The vegetation is nearly identical with that of the eastern slope of the Cascades. These mountains and those of British Columbia connect the Cascade system with the Rocky Mountain system in Idaho. In consonance with the markedly similar conditions of soil and climate it is not surprising that a iuunV)er of species of the coast region occur through these mountains and in north Idaho. THE COLUMBIA PLAINS. The greater portion of eastern Washington is covered by an im- mense mass of l)asalt, of an average thickness of at least 1,300 meters. This mass is the result of a series of lava overflows which involved not only eastern Washington but also great portions of eastern Oi'egon ii.nd Idaho, covering in all an area of over 500,000 square kilometers (200,000 square miles), (leologically this is known as the Columbia River basalt. It covered in Washington all of the region south of the Okanogan Plighlands and extended westward from the Bitter- roots nearly to the present crest of the Cascade Mountains and beyond this at least in Clarke and Cowlitz counties. The canyon walls of Snake River and other streams indicate a number of succes- sive overflows, at least ten, between some of which sufficient time elapsed for soil to form and forests to grow. The remains of the latter appear either as charcoal embedded in the soil of old lake bot- toms, or else as silicified trunks, these often remaining in their origi- nal vertical positions. Originally the surface of the lava appears to have been ap]:)roxi- mately level, but subsequent to the last great overflow a large lake or else a series of lakes existed in Yakima, Douglas, Klickitat, and Franklin counties as well as in adjacent Oregon. This was Lake John Day. Whether this lake merely filled a basin formed beyond the heads of the last lava flows, or whether it was formed through the sinking of the surface concomitantly with the commencement of the uplifting of the Cascade and Blue mountains is not clear. The deposits formed in the bottoms of Lake John Day consist of soft sandstone and conglomerates which have largely been removed by subsequent erosion. The light, ashy soils formed from these de- posits are very different from the heavy clay loam formed by the disintegration of basalt. Contr. Nat. Heib., Vol. XI. Plate IV.

These belong to Miocene-Tertiary time and indicate the existence of a rich and varied flora, strikingly different from that which occupies the region to-day. The surface of the Columbia River l)asalt averages about 700 meters in elevation. kSubsequent to its formation occurred the uplifting of the Cascade aud Blue mountains. Since that time the geological history of the region has been mainly one of erosion. Owing to the soft character of the basalt the i)rincipal rivers have worn great canyons in it along their courses.. Thus Snake River where it enters the State flows in a tremendous gorge 000 meters deep, this gradually lessening to the westward. Where this river cuts through the Blue Mountains betw^een Washington and Idaho it exposes 1,300 meters of basalt rock, which is supposed to represent about the original thickness of the combined lava overflows. The Columbia River for a great portion of its course has followed close to the line of contact between the basalt and the older granitic rocks. In places its canyon is almost as impressive as that of Snake River. Besides the canyons now occupied by streams, there are many others, the abandoned courses of ancient rivers, called coulees. The most notable of these are Grand Coulee (PI. IV) and Moses Coulee in Douglas County, 200 to 300 meters deep. These two coulees were originally enormous cracks in the l)asalt, and have since been greatly eroded. The bottom of the first named is occupied by a nearly contin- .lous chain of lakes. The glacial period has left but small traces of its work in eastern Washington outside of the mountains. During this time the canyons of the Snake River and the Columbia were filled to a depth of about 100 meters with gravel, most of which has since been removed. The upper Spokane Valley is, however, still composed of such glacial detritus. No evidence of glaciation exists, however, on the surface of the basalt plateau, excepting in the northern part of Douglas County, ndrere glaciers crossed the Columbia, thus blocking it and causing the waters to find a temporary new channel through the Grand Coulee. Apparently the gorge of the Columbia River through the Cascade Mountains was blocked at this same time, resulting in the formation of a great glacial lake, called Lake Lewis. This seems to have occu- pied practically the same area as its ancient predecessor. Lake John Day. Except for ill-defined beaches at an elevation of 420 meters and occasional erratic bowlders scattered over Yakima and Douglas coun- ties and doubtless dropped by icebergs, there is little left to show the existence of this lake. 26 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. For the most part the Cohiiiibia River hiva completely covered up all of the older rocks over which it flowed, these being seen only as they are revealed in the river canyons. Exceptions to this appear in peaks which were too hii>li to be overwhelmed, as in the cases of Steptoe and Kamiak buttes in Whitman County, together with many others less conspicuous. Steptoe Butte is a granitic cone projecting about 500 meters above the surrounding l>asalt and, being completely isolated, is a notable landmark. To designate such isolated buttes, of wdiich there are many, Ivussell has proposed the term steptoe^ after the name of this striking example. A steptoe is '" an island of granite in a sea of basalt." Kamiak butte near Pullman is composed largely of quartzite. THE BLUE MOUNTAINS. The Blue Mountains in extreme southeastern Washington and ad- jacent Oregon, represent a great uplift of basalt surrounding a central mass of granite peaks. The portion of these mountains in Washington is composed Avholly of basalt, elevated to over 2,000 meters. The granitic peaks in the central part of the mountains, the so- called PoAvder River Mountains in Oregon, rise to an altitude of about 3,000 meters, and form the greatest "steptoe" in the wdiole Columbia Basin.

Owing to the great vari- ation in rainfall caused by mountains and to a less extent by deep canyons, which often make great diiferences within small areas, the i-ainfall map is drawn on broad lines. Enough is known of these local differences in rainfall caused by topography to make it certain that an accurate map of Washington to show these smaller differ- ences would be a ver}' complex affair. The larger differences in the normal annual precipitation are clearly shown by the map. As a whole, western Washington has a hea\"}^ rainfall while that of eastern Washington is light. The coast region has the greatest precipitation, heaviest on the western slope of the Olympic M'nintains. The region immediately to the north- east of these mountains has a correspondingly light rainfall. No satisfactory records are available for the precipitation in the higher parts of the Cascade Mountains. Presumably it is between 7T) and J)0 inches. In eastern Washington perhaps the most striking feature is the suddenness with which the precipitation decreases east of the crest of the Cascades. The area over which the rainfall is less than 10 inches is practically identical with the Upper Sonoran life area. As compared with the rest of the United States the narrow strip immediately along the ocean has the maximum amount of rainfall, Contr. Nat. Herb. Vol. XI Plate V. PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF \VASHINGTON. 29 approarliod only by that of the regions al)Out Mobile, Ala., and Cape llatteras, N. C. The rainfall of the I*nget Sonnd Basin as a whole is but slightly in excess of that of the Atlantic coast States, but it shows wide variation within short distances. The greater part of (astern Wasliington coincides as regards total rainfall with the upper Mississippi Valley. A noticeable peculiarity of the Washington rains, particularly in the western part of the State, is their gentleness. They are rarely ::cconipanied either by winds or by lightning. Perhaps 90 per cent of the rains consist of gentle drizzles, locally characterized as " Ore- gon mists." A most striking feature of the rainfall is the very low amount of ])recipitation during the sunnner months. This has given rise to a distinction ])etween a "■ dry "' or summer season and a " wet " or winter season, tliough in reality the Avet season includes much of the spring m all i)arts of the State, and also of the fall, particularly in western Washington. A prolonged " dry " season naturally entails drought, which may be marked even in the humid western i)ortion of the State, In east- ern Washington such droughts have occasionally caused severe injury to crops. The significance of this dry season is rendered more clear by com- parison. If we except the Vancouver strip, all of the United States west of the Rocky Mountains has normally less than ;> inches of rain- fall during July, August, and September, an amount lower for these months than any other part of the country. For eastern Washington, as a whole, the rainfall of these three months averages about 12 inches. The normal annual rainfall for ^hv Vancouver strip during the three summer months is less than (> inches, thus coinciding with that of the area between the one hundredth meridian and the Rocky Mountains. SUNSHINE AND CLOUDINESS. The average number of clear days in western Washington for the years 1902-1904 was, respectively, 120, 127, and 117; of partly cloudy days, 92, 100, and 80 ; of cloudy days, 153, 148, and 159. Ah might be expected in conformity with the wide variation in rainfall, the extremes depart considerably. The smallest numbers of clear days were, respectively, 56, 42, and 48 ; the largest, 171, 174, and 174. In eastern Washington for the same years the clear days totaled, respectively, 14G, 153, and 178; the partly cloudy days, 92, 95, and 90; the cloudy days, 127, 117, and 98.

If the records arc considered separately for the stations located within the line of 10 inches of rainfall the average number of clear days for these same years is 1G6, 1G8, and 103. These data show very clearly that eastern AVashington has much more sunshine than western Washington, and also that in the region of less than 10 inches rainfall, which closely coincides w^ith the Upper Sonoran area, the amount of sunshine is considerably greater than for the average of eastern Washington. The following percentages are based on the normal sunshine map of the United States Weather Bureau : The least amount of sunshine is in the very humid region, which has over DO inches of annual rain- fall. Less than 40 per cent of the days here are clear, a low^ percent- age equaled in the United States only on the upper peninsula of JNIichigan, in northern New York, and in northern New England. In the region of less than 10 inches rainfall over one-half of the days of the year are clear, thus corresponding in general with the broad basins of the Missouri and jSIississippi valleys and with the Southern States. The remainder of the State has from 40 to 50 per cent of the days clear, resembling in this respect the region of the Ohio Valley northward and eastward. TEMPEBATURE. "WESTERN WASHINGTON. Temperature records of the United States AVeather Bureau are available for over 30 stations in western Washington, all located in the Humid Transition area, for periods varying from one year to thirty years. The normal annual mean temperature based on these records is 49.3° F. The same average for each of the 30 stations shows the lowest to be Port Crescent, 46.6°, and the highest to be Vancouver, 52°. The normal monthly mean temperatures of the same stations vary as follows: Temperature data for Humid Transition area. Month. January . Fel)ruary March - .

The region in immediate ])roximity to the ocean has the coolest sum- mer, and the extreme winter temperatures have never reached zero. EASTERN WASHINGTON. The records of the United States Weather Bureau concern nearly forty dift'erent stations in eastern Washington for periods of from one to twenty-three years. Fifteen of these stations lie within the Upper Sonoran area, the remainder Avithin the Arid Transition. The Upper Sonoran stations are Ellensburg, Ephrata, Kennewick, Lind, Mottinger's Eanch, Moxee, Odessa, South Ellensburg, Sunnyside, Trinidad, Walla AValla, Wenache, and Zindel. The normal annual mean temperature for the whole region is 48.7° ; for the Arid Transi- tion stations alone it is -15.9° ; and for the Upper Sonoran stations it is 51.3°.

As regards tempenitiire, eastern AVashington while having a normal annual mean but slightly lower than that of western Washington, has much greater extremes, being decidedly colder in winter and warmer in summer. The Upper Sonoran area as compared wdtli the Arid Transition is several degrees warmer. A notable feature of the temperature of Washington, in conformity Avith nnich of the region west of the Rocky Mountains, is the great variation of temperature between day and night, especially in sum- mer. It is emphatically a region of cool nights, where one can ap- preciate blankets at night throughout the year. These cool nights are least marked in the Upper Sonoran area, and it may, indeed, be found that this factor is an important one in limiting the range of Upper Sonoran plants. These cool nights naturally indicate late frosts in spring and early ones in autumn. In western AA'ashington such killing frosts are not unusual up to April 15, and rarely a month later. Except in the Avarmest portions of eastern AVashington killing frosts occur not uncommonly up to June 1, and infrequently three weeks later. The first autumnal frosts in western Washington occur as eaHy as the middle of September or as late as the middle of November; rarely they nui}^ be delayed until December. The dates are much the same for eastern Washington. WINDS. The most prevalent winds are from the southeast, and are usually accompanied by rain. East of the Cascade Mountains they are known as chinool-s. This term is usually applied only to the winds that blow in the Avinter months, but there seems no proper reason to distinguish such from similar winds during the remainder of the year. The winter chinooks are commonly warm winds, accompanied or immediately followed by heaA^y rains; rarely they are cold and dry. The Avet chinooks are in eastern Washington remarkable chiefly for the rapid rising of the temperature Avhich they occasion. These Avinds are often quite scA^ere. This is particularly true of the occasional soutliAvest Avinds Avhich occur in summer, Avhicli in eastern Washington usually assume the form of dust storms. Such storms may cause much destruction. The only other winds deserving of special mention are those which sometimes occur in eastern Washington during the summer months, bloAving from the north or northeast. These Avinds are gentle but exceedingly dry, and are therefore capable of causing great damage to growing crops. For this reason they are much feared in the agri- cultural districts. PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 33 THE ZONAL DISTRIBUTION OF WASHINGTON PLANTS. That there are physical causes which profoundly influence the dis- tribution of plants no one who has crossed the State of Washington from east to west can for a moment question. The contrast between tb. ' treeless bunchgrass prairies and sage plains of eastern Washing- ton and the luxuriant coniferous forests of western Washington is loo striking to overlook. In this particular case the principal factor is one of humidity, the Puget Sound region possessing a notably moist climate, while that of the Columbia Basin is markedly arid. A similar change of vegetation may be Avitnessed in the ascent of any of our higher mountain peaks. As elevation increases the famil- iar lowland })lants disappear and different ones present themselves, >\hich in turn give way at high altitudes to still others. The me.-t marked of these changes is that where the timber ceases and the alpine meadows present their charming car})et of floAvers. Here the changes are due manifestly not to differences in humidity, but to les- sened temperature, a conclusion emphasized by the fact that mrny of these jilpine j^lants are the identical species which occur in arctic regions. Heat and moisture are undoul)tedly the principal physical factors r,])on which the distribution of plants depend. A third factor may be im})ortant, even determinative, namely, the character of the soil, but this is much less potent than the two above named. In addition to these i)hysical factors only one other need be considered, the bio- logical factor of CDicc-stry. In general, plants inhabit the regions where their ancestors thrived. This factor is usually continental in its scoi^e; thus cacti and yuccas are confined to America; eucalypti to Australia, and lilacs to Asia. But in a similar wa}^ this same fac- tor oi)erates over small areas, and it is the principal cause why the l*acific coast flora as a whole is different from that of the xVtlantic. The existing plants are different because their immediate ancestors were, whatever factors may have determined that. It is not to l)e understood from this that all the plants which for- merly flourished in Washington hare left descendants there. In Ter- tiary times such plants as palms, cinnamon trees, and se([uoias grew in Washington. Some of these require tropical or subtrojiical condi- tions of heat; others, as the sequoias, probably have given way in comiK'tition with more aggressive species. Nevertheless the broad statement remains true that the present vegetation of XXa^ region owes its character in large part to similar ancestors. Thi conditions which make the Pacific coast the home of many peculiar genera and species are ancestral. The heat and moisture requirements of these plants are duplicated in other portions of the earth, where, however, totally different congeries of species occur. 29418—06 M 3 34 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. It is ivenorally adniittod that heat is the most potent factor in determining the distril)iiti()n of phmts, and that in o-eneral the old division into Aivtie. Temi)erate, and Tropical zones approximates the real truth. Such zonation, dependino- on heat, is far more wide- reaching than one depending- mainly on moisture. While the former gives rise primarily to what we in general know as Arctic or Trop- ical zones, the factor of moisture determines the opposed conditions we distinguish as arid and moist. Differences in the heat factor are universal, resulting in the whole earth l)eing divided into more or less well-marked zones, corresponding in general with isothermal lines. Differences in the moisture factor are relatively local, so that deserts may occur in the midst of the most varied surroundings. While the larger zones dependmg on heat are strikingly different, yet each passes gradually into the contiguous ones. Determination of such zones is therefore more or less arl)itrary. The scheme of life zones, so far as North America is concerned, that has resulted from the studies of Merriam has been generally adoi)ted. It is as follows: f Arctic (iV Arctic- Alpine zone. Boreal regi m -- Hndsonian zone. I ( 'anadian zone. f Alleghenian area. Transition zone - - - . Arid Transition area. i Pacific or Hnmid Transition area. Austral region •, Upper Anstral zone fCarolinian area. lUpper Sonoran area. Lower Austral zone f Austroriparian area. iLower Sonoran area. _, . T • (Humid Tropical area. Tropical region i / lArid Tropical area. In this scheme zones are based primarily on the distribution of plants and animals as determined by the heat factor. The subdi- vision of the zones or areas depend mainly on the differences due to the moisture factor. As may readily be imagined, all possible combi- nations of these two factors occur, so that regions of mixed character are found wherever zones or areas are contiguous. This overlapping of contiguous zones that are usiuilly well marked is perhaps more pronounced in the Pacific northwest than elsewhere in North America. It has been ascribed to the very equable temperature of the region. In consecpience of this peculiarity the determination of the life zones in Washington, so as to coordinate them with adjacent regions, presents unusual difficulties. Six life zones or life areas are represented, namely, the Arctic, the Hudsonian, the Canadian, the Humid Transition,' the Arid Transition, and the Upper Sonoran. The first-mentioned zone, the Arctic, is sharply marked, consist- ing of the alpine flora above timber line. These alpine meadows PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. oD correspond in conditions, and in a large part in species, with the arctic meadows north of the limit of timl)er. The Upper 8onoran area in eastern Washington is practically coex- tensive with the distribution of the sagebrush. Agriculturally it is the region where the connnercial growing of peaches and water- melons is practicable. The Humid Transition, or Pacific area, includes the great forests of red fir in western Washington. Other characteristic trees are the giant cedar, red alder, and Oregon maple. The Arid Transition area in eastern Washington includes two subdivisions, a lower one — the bunchgrass prairies, and an up])er — the yellow pine forests. The Canadian zone has for its most characteristic tree the western white pine. Here, too, the lodgepole pine, the western larch, and the western hemlock are most abundant and best developed. The Hudsonian is the zone of the subalpine fir, the Alaska cedar, Ihe black hendock, and the white-bark pine. At their extreme limits of altitude all of these become prostrate mats of branches. These zones are not separated by level altitudinal lines. This may readily be seen where the Hudsonian and Arctic zones meet. The trees of the former zone extend up the mountain sides much higher on the ridges than in the valleys between. The dividing line is thus a sinuate one. This has been considered by Merriam partly the result of more and less favorable exposure to the sun's rays, and partly to air currents, the warm currents tending to follow up the steep ridges while the cold currents flow down in the valleys. Conse({uently, cer- tain species ascend highest on the warm ridges, while others descend farthest in the cool valleys. Exactly similar conditions, but with the forest line reversed, are seen at the low altitude timber line of the yellow pine, where this borders on the bunchgrass prairies. The timber here descends to much lower altitudes along valleys and draws than on the ridges; or, what is the converse statement of the same thing, the bunchgrass flora ascends highest on the Avarm slope. The most notable examples of the effect of slope exposure alone are perhaps seen on high ridges, or in canyons that extend in a gen- eral east and west direction. For example, Kamiak Butte, a bold jieak in AVhitman County, has nearly its entire south exposure cov- ered by a bunchgrass flora, while the northern slope is denselv tim- bered with yellow ^^ine and other coniferous trees. In canyons of low altitude the sunny north wall is often timberless. while its shady south wall is timbered. The same fact is generally true in the case of high mountain i)eaks. The corresjjonding zones extend relatively higher on the south or warmer side than on the north or colder side. 36 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. Making due allowance for the overlapping of the various zones, the following approximations of their altitudinal limits in Washing- ton may be made: Upper Sonoraii. Go to GOO meters (200 to l.OOO feet). Humid Transition, 0 to 1.200 meters (0 to 3.800 feet). Arid Transiti(jn, 500 to 1,300 meters (1,G00 to 4,200 feet). Ciuuidlan, 400 to 1.500 meters (1,400 to 5.000 feet). Iludsoniau, 1,500 to 2,100 meters (5.000 to 7.000 feet). Arctic, 1,800 to 3,200 meters (G,000 to 10,500 feet). UPPER SONORAN LIFE AREA. This comprises the western or arid portion of the Upper Austral life zone. It occupies much of the Columbia and Great basins, and the lower portions of the Great Plains eastward to about the one hundredth meridian. It also extends southward into Mexico at increasing elevations along both sides of the Rocky Mountain system. In Washington the area is confined to that portion east of the Cascade Mountains below a contour line approximating 360 meters (1,200 feet), but on southerly slopes it may extend up to 510 meters (1,700 feet), or even more. From an agricultural standpoint this zone is that in which the commercial culture of such crops as tomatoes, peaches, apricots, and Avatermelons is possible. In Washington the most conspicuous plant of this zone is the sagebrush {Artemisia tr id entata) (PL VI). It marks quite sharply the limits of the Upper Sonoran zone, seldom extending into the zone above, as it commonly does farther southward. Other characteristic, if less abundant, shrubs are rabbit brush {Ghrysothamnus nauseosu-s and C. viscidiflorus) , hop sage {Grayia spinosa), antelope brush {Kunzia tridentata, locally known as black sage), and, in alkaline situations, greasewood {Sarcohatus verTuicidafus) . In a few locali- ties the sagebrush is absent, but in such cases one or more of the other characteristic shrubs is sure to be present. Excepting such species as are confined to the moist gi'ound along perennial streams, the great majority of the Upper Sonoran plants are either shrubs or thick-rooted perennial herbs or short-lived annuals. There are in Washington about 500 species of plants which occur in this life zone. Of this number 243 species occur in no other life zone— that is, are distinctive. Furthermore, of this last element 31) species are confined in their distribution to the Columbian Basin of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, several of them being quite rare and local. Contr. Nat. Herb., Vol. XI. Plate VI. PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 37 ORIGIN or THE UPPER SONORAN FLORA. Some considerations regarding the origin of the Upper Sonoran species of the Washington flora* seem to justify definite conchisions. In the geographical history of the Columbia Plains, as above outlined, there was found, during the existence of Lake John Day in Miocene- Tertiary time, a rich flora of sul)tropical aspect. Subsequent to this time and probably not much prior to the glacial epoch, occurred the principal uplift of the Cascade Mountains. This undoubtedly caused profound changes in climatic conditions, particularly to the eastward of this range, accompanied by correspondingly great changes in the flora. Succeeding the uplifting of the Cascade Mountains came the Gla- cial period. During this period immense changes took place in western Washington, but there is scarcely a trace of glacial worlv on the plain of the Columbia. Nevertheless, in accord with the lower temperatures there was probably a general southward, migration of the plants, followed by their return on the retreat of the ice. Of the changes which have taken place in the flora since the John Day period to the present time there is no record preserved. In this enormous lapse of time — perhaps millions of years — a forest composed of magnolias, elms, sycamores, etc., apparently much like that of the Lower Mssissippi in the present day, has utterly vanished and no near relatives remain, either in the same or adjacent territory. Inasmuch as somewhat similar subtropical forests existed in Mio- cene time in western Washington, the causes which have led to their extinction are more profound than such climatic changes as could bo occasioned by the Cascade uplift and are to be sought rather in the general causes which have lowered the temperatures of the earth's surface. There remains, then, but one source from which light may be thrown on the present constitution of the flora— namely, its relation to contiguous floras. Such considerations naturally focus first on the physical conditions which most likely prevailed at the close of the last great geological cataclysm, namely, the Glacial period. The most conspicuous result of this period of cold is perhaps the large number of Arctic species which occur on all the higher peaks of the Cascades or stranded on isolated mountains, as the Olympics or the Blues — a fact which ap- pears more striking in mountains farther to the southward. How- ever slight the effect of the Glacial period may have been in eastern Washington, it is quite certain that the temperature was such that no plants adapted to Upper Sonoran conditions could survive. They were either driven southward, as were the Arctic plants, or else per- ished. Following the retreat of the ice, the areas that then became 38 CONTRTP,I"TTONi=; FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. fitted to support an Upper Sonoran flora could have become inhab- ited eitlier by the northward extension of alread^y adapted pLmts, or by the gradual modification of species of a colder zone, or by both. The evidence indicates the first method to have been the most potent. South of the Columbia Basin are two very distinct floral regions — namely, California and the Great Basin — divided by the Sierra Nevada. It is perfectly clear that Upper Sonoran plants of the Columbia Basin hax'e been derived in j^art from each of these sources, assuming- that plants which range from California or the (Ireat Basin into the Columbia l^asin originated in th<^ formei" regions and not vice versa. This assumption is based on considerations heretofore discussed. The prevailing winds of the Columbia Basin are from the south- w^est. So pronounced are these winds that they have had considerable to do wnth molding the hills in the entire region. Very naturally plants would migrate quite rapidly with these very constant and at times severe southwest winds. The natural route of the Californian plants would l)e through the low gap in northeastern California made by the Klamath Kiver and lakes. Some few plants may have reached the Columbia Basin by way of the Willamette Valley and the Columbia Iviver, but this, if true, is certainly exceptional, not only on account of the long distance and moist region through wdiich these illy adapted plants would have to migrate, but from the actual fact that few Sonoran plants reach the Willamette Valley, the liogue River Mountains in southwest Oregon forming a sharp and efi'ective l)arrier to them, but not to Transition j^lants. The following lists of Upper Sonoran plants indicate the relative importance of the Californian and Great Basin elements in AVash- iuirton: SPECIES OF CALIFORNIA ORIGIN. Ahiii.'i rhnnthi folia.

The Pacific coast region west of the Cascade Mountains in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and northwestern California, is notal)le for its moist climate and equable temperature no less than for the very luxuriant forests which these conditions foster. This region has sometimes been referred to as the Northwest Coast Strip, an unfortunate name, as the term " Northwest " has been used in too many senses to give it accuracy. Adopting a suggestion of Mr. D. A, Brodie, the term Vancouver Strip is here given to the region, for which it is desirable to have a definite name in conformity witli tlie remarkably uniform flora and fauna which it possesses. The name above suggested commemorates the name of the navigator who first thoroughly explored the region and whose name has there been attached to the largest island and to two im2:>ortant towns. Much the greater j^ortion of th(> Vancouver Strip belongs to the Pacific or Humid Transition area. The most characteristic tree is Contr. Nat. Herb., Vol. XI Plate VII.

The thimbleberry {Puhus paroiflorm) is often abundant also, as is red- 42 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM, flowered currant {Rihes scmyuineum) . By this time the Scouler wil- low is conspicuous, and in wet places the red alder {Almis oreyana). These two trees dominate the vegetation until the young red firs which spring up in a very dense growth have become large enough to supersede them. The red fir is so completely the dominant tree in the region that as a rule it quickly reforests itself whenever destroyed. BOTTOM LANDS. The bottom lands of western Washington are mainly river valleys. Less commonly they occur about lake borders or form marshes. The commonest type of forest covering is a red alder and giant cedar asso- ciation, wdiich, however, is seldom j^ure. Rarely either one of these trees may occupy the ground exclusively. Usually, however, there are associated various other trees, as white fir {Abies f/randis), large- leaved maple {Acer macrophyllum) , Oregon ash (Fraxinus oreyana), and Cottonwood {Popidvs trichocarpa.) The cottonwood often forms groves of pure growth in the river valleys, and the maple does so occasionally. Moisture of the soil is apparently the one factor that favors the red alder-cedar association, which is quite as common on springy hillsides and upland swanips as in river valleys. Where the amount of soil moisture is not too great the red fir occurs sparingly, but the individuals are often of gigantic size. In bottom lands that are excessively wet, the alder is absent and often the cedar also. Such lands commonly are covered by dense thickets composed of various species of willows, western cornel {Coimus occidentaJis), crabapple {Pyrus diiier.sifolia), and vine maple {Acer circinatnin) . These same species form the usual fringe along the banks of small streams flow- ing through the forest, especially the cornel and the vine maple. In such situations occur also various shrubs, as the devil's club {Echino- panax Itorrldinn) which, contrary to the oft-told tale, seldom forms dense thickets, the salmon berry (Rubus specfabilh) ^ the fetid currant {Ribes bracteosmn) , and the red-berried elder {Sambucus calUcarpa) . GKAVELIA' PKAIRIJ:S. The soil of these prairies, which are comparatively limited in extent, consists mainly of fine water-worn gravel, the pebbles mak- ing up perhaps 50 per cent, or more, of the soil. The j)rairies com- monly present the appearance of a sterile pasture (PL IX) with scat- tered oaks {QuercuN qarryana) here and there, and occasional beauti- fully symmetrical young trees of red fir. At the edges of the praij-ie, where the gravelly soil ceases, a dense forest of red fir usually occu- pies the ground, the gravelly prairie soil serving as an almost perfect barrier to this tree. In a few localities, where the gravelly soil merges gradually into the ordinary loams or clays of the region, the Contr. Nat. Herb,, Vol. XI Plate IX. Contr. Nat. Herb., Vol. XI. Plate X.

After this time they present a distinctly arid appearance.

A much hirger number of species, however, recur in the Arid Transition area east of the Cascade Mountains. Nearly all of these species are limited to the Pacific coast, ranging from California northward to British Cohnnbia on both sides of the Cascade Moun- tains.

A third series of species, fe^Y in number, presents a puzzling j^rob- lem. It consists of Arid Transition plants connnon enough east of the Cascade Mountains, which are knoAvn to occur west of these moun- tains only on Whidby Island, or, in a few cases, on neighboring islands. They deserve particular mention. Sierer-'iia e'duita is abundant east of the Cascades, ranging as a common plant to ]\Iinnesota and Nebraska, and as a rarity even to New England. AVest of the Cascades it is known only from the prairies of Whidl)y Island. ApJn/llon romost/m, a parasite on various asteraceous plants, is not rare in eastern Washington, and ranges east of the Cascades to Cali- fornia. It has also been found on Whidby and San Juan islands on Grindelia. Polonornum micrautJuim. and LvphixiR m'lcrocarpu!^^ both on Whidby Island, together with Phifi/spcrimnn scapujerum^ Anter con- fipicuiix^ and Scnt('lhiri(( aiu/Kstifol/n, known from Vancouver Island, are cases practically parallel to that of ApJn/JJoti {■omoKiim. Ii'is mixKovriensis is al)undant east of the Cascades, ranging to Dakota and Nebraska. Its station near Coupeville is the only one known in the Vancouver strip. Jrui'ipenis ficopiilornm^ which crosses the Cascades to reappear in Island and San Juan counties, is a somewhat similar case. There needs to be mentioned also tlu* only cactus that occurs in the Vancouver strip, 0 pitnthi pohjardjifhd horealis, confined to the island in the northern part of Puget Sound. Only one physical factor presents itself which may explain these strange cases, namely, the fact that these islands lie in the lee of the 01ymi)ic jVIountains, and therefore have a lesser rainfall, as may be seen by comparison with the rainfall map. The conditions, therefore, more nearly api)roximate those of the Arid Transition area than any other portion of Washington west of the Cascade Mountains. But, admitting this to be true, it is difficult to see how these species could have crossed the barrier of the Cascade Mountains. The orily other alternative would seem to be that these species once occupied much of the Vancouver strip, and have persisted northward only in this some- what drier region of Whidby and adjacent islands. The case of a few Vancouver Island plants, like Lilaea siihvlata^ Fcsfi/ra ivfcxa^ and Mieroseris hir/eJovii, not otherwise known north of Oregon, and especially the cases of Baeria f/rdc'tlix and AlJocdrya (Jiorisiawt, which leap from California to Vancouver, seem, however, to lend weight to the latter hypothesis.

In addition to these the marine aquatic genera Zostera and Phyl- lospadix deserve mention as our only genera of flowering plants found in the ocean. The related Iixppki maritlma occurs in brackish waters. SPHAGNUM BOGS. Sphagnum bogs are quite connnon throughout western AVashington. The usual shrubs are Labrador tea {Ledum laflfoliii///), laurel {Kal- mid (flauca), and cranberry {OxycoccKS oxycoccvs intermedins). Usually a willow {Salix inyrtilloideH) ^ sweet gale {Myriea gcde)^ and a dwarf birch (Hetida ghindtdosa) arc present also. On the drier hummocks small hendocks {TsiK/a lieteropliyUa) often occur, and in similar situations one is often sur})rised to find the black.pine {Pinus eonto/'ta), typically a i)lant of barren, graA'clly or sandy soil. The more interesting and characteristic herbs are sundew {Droscru rotund if olia)^ cotton-grass {Efiophorum russeolum)^ Scheuchzeria p" the s})ruee througliout all or nearly all of its range, are some other plants, such as Rihes lu.v/foi'Hiii^ MoncHes inu'ffot'u, Menziesia ferruginca, Coriius canadenttis, and Viola glaheUd^ which in the Cascade Mountains occur mainly or only in the Canadian or Hudsonian zones. On the other hand, it is very evident that the great majority of the plants in the Sitka spruce forests of Washington are truly Tran- sition plants. Indeed, some of the most characteristic of the under- shrubs of the red-fir forests are even more luxuriantly developed in the sj)ruce forests, such as the salal {GauUheria shallon), red huckleberry {Vaccinium paruifoUum), and the evergreen huckleberry {V. onatum). Some others, as the salmon berry {Ruhtis spectab'dis) and the devil's club {E chmopmiax horrida), accompany the spruce throughout nearly all of its range, and likewise occur in the Cascade Mountains far above it in altitude. Other facts of plant distribution also bear out the conclusion that the mixed floral character of the ocean coast is due to the remarkably equable temperature. One of these is the fact that a number of Alas- kan plants follow down the coast with the spruce, but do not follow down the mountain ranges. Such are the marsh plants Viold langs- doi-f/', Nephrop/ii/lUdium crista-galU, and Caltha a.sar/'folia; the dune plants, Carex macrocephala, and Glehnia littovalh; and Cala- magroatk aleutica^ G oelopleurum gmelini^ which on the Washington coast splits into two supposedly different species, Garcx cryptocarpa^ G onlosellnvin fsclwri., and Ammodema peploides. On the other hand, the northward extension of various Californian coastal plants overlaps the southward extension of these Alaskan species. Among these are Al>ro7iia lati folia and A. timhellata^ Angelica liendersorii, Gaertneria chamisnonis^ Myrica calif criiira^ and Pentacaena ramosissima. Perhaps, too, the peculiar conditions of this coastal strip may aid in explaining the local abundance of PinuH contorta, which otherwise reappears principally in the lodge-pole forests of the Canadian zone. The zonal- position of the Sitka spruce itself is a difficult matter to decide. Undoubtedly it reaches its greatest development as to size on the Washington and Oregon coasts, but on the Alaska coast it reaches its greatest development as regards number of individuals and domination of the forest. ARID TRANSITION AREA. In Washington this is confined entirely to the eastern portion, except, perhaps, a few limited localities west of the Cascades, here- tofore discussed, In our limits this area has two marked subdivi- 48 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. sions. The lower subdivision is grass-covered and lies immediately above the zone of the sagebrush. The conspicuously abundant plants are bunchgrass {Aii sptc o „1 5 13 UJ > > 5 PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 49 and the "black sunflower'' (Wi/efh!(( conplexieauUs) often occupy large areas in nearly pure growths. Along the streams and by springs Avillows of several sj^ecies, to- gether with a thorn {Cmtaegus hrevispina) form thick copses. Occa- sionally asjjens (PopuJiis tremuloides) and cottonwo'od {P. triclw- carpa) form groves. The commoner undershrubs are snowberry {Syynphorwarpos I'acemosus) ^ roses {Rosa nutkanaand Ii. pisoearpa), and gooseberries {Klhes inenne and R. Irriguum). Intermingled Avith these are other shrubs of less importance. Occasionally, how- ever, the birch {Betida micro pliyUa) is the most abundant shrub. The accompanying herbaceous vegetation is richer and more varied than on the hills, but the individuals are relatively less abundant. Among the more consi)icuous are : CastUleja miniaia. Clem at is h irsittissim a . Heracleum lanatum. Lupinus leiicophylliis. Sidalcea orcgana. Holidago .^crofina. Vrtica lyallii. Lrtica holosericea. Valeriana cevatopliylla. Teratnnii ealifoDiieinii. The north hillsides flora consists mainly of plants found in the " draws," though there are several species Avhich, while not entirely confined to the north hillsides, flourish there especially well. Such are the adder's tongue {ErytJwonhim, gmndiflorum),h\uehervy (l^ac- dnium cespitosum) ^ Trillium petiolatwm^ and Capnorea villosula. The scablands, which as before stated lie mainly between the zone of sagebrush and that of bunchgrass, possess in large part the flora of the latter. A few species, however, are quite characteristic of these basaltic outcroppings. One of these is a service-berry {Amelan- chier eusickii) which often occurs in the cracks of basalt crags. The rock-rose or bitterroot {Leicisia redivira) occurs abundantly in the crevices of " scab," making a brave show with its beautiful rose- colored flowers. Where a thin soil is formed, the scabland sagebrush {Artemisia rigida) often occurs in considerable areas. Other plants usually found only in scablands are: Arabis eusickii. Eriogonum thijnioides. Lomatiiim canhiji. Lomatintii farinos:tim. Lomatinm groifi. Lomatium inacroearpmn. Talinum spincscens. Viola trinervata. The conspicuous basaltic outcroppings along canyons and coulees are locally known as " rimrock." The rimrock flora is in general the same as that of scablands of similar elevation. (PI. XIII.) 29418—06 M 4 50 CONTRTBUTIOXS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM, THE YELLOW PIXE FORESTS. The yellow pine belt in eastern AVasliinoton lies between the alti- tudes of 550 and 1,000 meters (1.800 and 3.300 feet). In places the characteristic tree, the yellow or liiill pine {Pin us poiu/erosa). de- scends nearly to sea level, as along the Columbia River, and specimens of the trees are occasionally found at 1,800 meters (0,000 feet) alti- tude. This tree exhibits a marked predilection for soils of granitic origin, and whenever such soil is found, even if comj^letely isolated, the yellow pine is quite sure to occur. The zonal distribution of the tree is not primarily due, however, to a soil factor. The raised dome of the northern portion of the Blue Mountains, wholly basaltic, is tim- l)ered with this tree. Likewise narrow tongues of the Columbia basalt of the usual elevation, 000 to 750 meters (2.000 to 2,500 feet), extending into Idaho between the flanks of granitic mountains, are covered with yellow pine forests. Nevertheless, it is apparent that this tree encroaches on the clayey basaltic soils with difficulty. Whether this is owing to the inability of the seedlings to struggle with the herbaceous vegetation or to a lack of adaptation to the soil itself, or to some other factor, remains to be determined. From the fact that the yellow pine establishes itself on basaltic clay soils under favorable conditions of moisture and temperature, as in the Blue Mountains, or of the shading and abundant seeding that the sur- rounding forests i3rovide in western Idaho, it is evident that the soil factor is not the only one that has j^revented the spread of the pine forest. Yellow pine forests (Pis. XIV, XV), where pure, are open in char- acter, and marked by the relatively small amount of forest litter. There is a rather scattered growth of various shrubs, consisting of ninebark {Opidasfer pavcifion/s. buckbrush [Ceanothus sanc/uineus)^ and rose (Rosa gymnocarpa) . At a somewhat higher altitude where the yellow pine is at its best, tlie commonest unclershrub is the huckle- berr}' {Vaecinium macro pliylhini). Where such forests are more open the most abundant plant is often the pinegrass {Calamagrostis suksdorfii) . Yellow i^ine forests are. however, seldom pure, except at low alti- tudes in rather dry soil. In the moister situations atl'orded by higher altitude, shaded slopes, or valleys, the yelloAv pine is usually mixed with red fir {Pseadotsiiga miicronata) in varying proportions. In- deed, as the moisture becomes greater the j)roportion of the red fir increases until it becomes the predominating tree. The increasing proportion of red fir is usually accompanied by a proportional in- crease in the density of the forest and the amount of litter. Shrubs, too. become more abundant both in species and individuals, and under favorable circumstances, as in old burns, some of them, espe- Contr. Nat. Herb., Vol. XI Plate XIV. Contr. Nat.

As before stated, the Cascade Mountains form a sharp and efficient barrier betAveen the areas of the Transition zone. The Humid Transi- tion does not cease abruptly with the crest of the Cascade Mountains, but many species descend for some distance on the eastern slope, at lower altitudes becoming mixed indiscriminately with Arid Transi- tion plants. In the moisture portions of the western slopes of the Bitterroots and in the Blue Momitains the climatic conditions approach those of western AVashington. It is therefore not surprising- that in the moister portions of the yellow pine subarea in western Idaho a great many of the Humid Transition plants of western Washington reap- pear. Indeed at least one-half of the species are thus common, and it is therefore largely an arl)itrary matter to class the one as Humid Transition, the other as Arid. The complex nature of the problem is realized, however, when we consider the remaining species. They may be thus grouped : First, those that occur in the Vancouver strip, but not in North Idaho; sec- ond, those that occur in Idaho, but not in the Vancouver strip, and third, those that are abundant in Idaho, but very rare in the latter area. The following tables bring out clearly the relative importance of these elements: PLANTS EQUALLY COMMON IN THE HUMID TRANSITION AREA OF THE VANCOUVER STRIP AND THE MOISTER PORTION OF THE YELLOW PINE SUBAREA IN NORTH IDAHO.

This is the highest of the timbered plant zones, its average altitude in Washington being from 1,500 to 2,300 meters (5,000 to 7.500 feet). The most widespread and characteristic tree in all the northwestern mountains is the subalpine fir {Abies lasiocarpa) (PL XVII), In the Olympic and Cascade mountains this is always accompanied by the black hemlock {Tsuga meftensiana) , a tree which recurs locally in the Bitterroots of Idaho, but which is unknown in the Blue Moun- tains save on a single peak. It is not known whether this tree occurs in the Okanogan Highlands. In the Olympic and Cascade moun- tains the Alaska cedar {Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) is likewise a characteristic tree, but it does not occur eastward from the latter range. The white-bark pine {Finns (dbieanlis) also belongs to this zone, and reaches a higher altitude than any other Washington tree. It is absent from the Olympics, but occurs nearly throughout the Cascade Mountains, and appears again on the higher peaks of tlie Blues and Bitterroots. Comparatively few shrubs and herbs are definitely limited to this zone. Among the more conspicuous are an azalea {Rhododendron albiforum)^ a currant {Ribes hoicellii), and the western mountain ash {Pyrus occidentalis). In places the bear grass {XerophylluTn tenax) occupies acres of ground, but this plant occasionally occurs as low as the Transition zone. In the following table is given a list of the characteristic Hud- sonian species, showing their known appearance on the principal peaks of the Cascade Mountains, namely. Mounts Stuart, Rainier, Adams, St. Helens, Hood,° Mazama,^ and Shasta.'' Only small col- lections have been made on Mount Baker, and for this reason the species known to occur in the Cascade ]Mountains between the 48th and 49th parallels are lumped for comparison. The table also shows which species occur in the Arctic regions, in the Olympic Mountains, in the Blue Mountains, in the Rocky Mountains as a whole, and in the Sierra Nevada. a Howell, Thomas.

As before explained, this line extends to a much higher altitude, TOO meters or more on Mount Rainier, on the ridges than, in the draws between. This, in general, is true of all the northweslern mountains. On the highest mountain peaks flowering plants extend \\p to 3,200 meters (10,500 feet) altitude. The lower portion of this zone, except where there are rock outcroppings,. is covered with a dense carpet of grasses and flowers. Among the more abundant of the former are Festuca viridifla, Poa arctica, and Agrostis rossae. Among the more conspicuous flowers in the damper places are a buttercup {Ranun- culus suksdorfii), a marsh marigold {Caltha leptosej)ala) ^ and a shoot- ing star {Dodecatheon 'je-jfreyi). On the drier slopes Pidsatilla occi- den tab's raises its curious tasseled heads of akenes; a lupine {Lupinus subalpini/s) forms great masses of blue; a painted cup {Castilleja oreojjola) makes mats of dull crimson, and a cinquefoil {Potentilla faheJJifoJla) furnishes an abundance of yellow. Even more con- spicuous are the two ''■ heathers," PhyUodoce emjyetrifonnis and Cassiope mcrfeyisiana^ the former with clusters of rose-j)urple flowers, the latter with the clusters pure white. Along the rills a beautiful blue gentian {Gentiana cahjeosa), the crimson mimulus {Mhnulus lewisii), and the yellow arnicas make parti-colorecl borders. Two small- plants, a saxifrage {Saxifruya foh/iic/) and Luthea pectinata are conspicuous only because they form dense mats. PTPEK FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 63 Along the limit of the meadows in what have been called "• pumice fields *' a very different series of plants appear. Among the more characteristic are a lupine (Lvpiin/s hjalli't)^ the curious Sprdguea umheUata, an Eriogonum {E. coryphaeum)^ Oreastruiii (dpigennmy Erhjcron aureus^ and Polemonhmi elegans. The above description applies particularly to the Arctic Zone in the Cascade Mountains. The flora of the same zone in the Olympics is very similar, the principal differences being in the flora of the high- est peaks. In the Blue jNIountains of Washington the Arctic Zone is very limited in extent.

PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, tl the adjoining Bitterroots ivach the Bines excepting- tlie liiglicr alpine Lori.t hjallil and tlie giant cedar {Tluija pJicdta). Tlie absence of the hist tree is tlie more marked as it is common thronghont the Bittcrroots, even on most of the ontlying peaks. Some few other i)lants connnon in the Bitterrqots are likewise absent from the Blues. Among them are Frasera fastiginta^ Mitella staw'opetaia, Fentstenioa putetoi'unc^ Coptls occidentalism and Asavum C(lll(ll(fll III . The explanation of this peculiar interrelation in the floras of these distant mountains is probably to be sought in two facts. First, these mountain regions are alike in being composed wholly or largely of granite rocks; second, the intervening portion of the Cascades i^ wholly made up of volcanic rocks. THE BLUE MOUNTAINS. The gi-eater part of this range lies within the State of Oregon. Its central portion, known as the Powder River Mountains, consists of granitic peaks which rise to an altitude of 2,400 to 2,700 meters (7,000 to 0,000 feet). Surrounding this granite center are lower mountains composed wholly of basalt. Such is the case with the jiortion which extends into Washington. Occupying as they do a nearly central position in the Columbia Ba- sin, quite- widely sej^arated from the Cascade Mountains to the west- ward and the scattered mountains southward, while almost contig- uous to the outlying ranges of the Bitterroots to the east, peculiar- ities in the constitution of the flora of these mountains would be ex- pected. That such is the case was recognized by their earliest ex- plorer, Douglas, who made no less than three trips into this rather unique region. The general facies of the flora is that of all the other mountains surrounding the Columbia basin. The great majority of the plants are identical with those of the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains and scarcely a smaller proportion with tho^-e of the adjacent moun- tains in Idaho. . An analysis of the remaining portion of the Blue Mountains flora shows that it consists of several elements of diverse origin which combine to make it peculiar. These elements are, first, those sj3ecies that are known to occur only in the Blue Mountains; second, those species which are common to the Rocky Mountains but which do not reach the Cascades, and third, those species which are also of more or less local distribution in the Cascade Mountains. The plants known to be limited in distribution to the Blue Moun- tains are neither numerous nor strikingly different from their nearest relatives. In themselves they indicate scarcely more than that their 72 CONTRIBUTIOXS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. origin is comparatively recent.

The Rocky Mountain element consists of a considerable number of species, including some genera which otherwise do not occur in Washington or Oregon. Most of these are confined to the higher granitic peaks, very fcAV occurring within Washington limits. The presence of this Rocky Mountain element is undoubtedly a direct result of immediate contiguity, though the species may have been isohited on these remote peaks for a long j^eriod.

Zonal distribution: Transitional to Canadian. This pine is very variable and by some botanists considered to consist of two species. The typical P. contorta of Douglas is the scrubby tree so common along the ocean coast near the shore. Away from the coast it occurs either in sterile gravelly soil or in sphagnum bogs. It is usually a small tree, but occasional examples are met 90 cm. in diameter and 30 meters or more high. East of the Cascade Mountains it forms the " lodgepole pine," Pinus murrayana of some botanists. This ordinarily forms dense forests, often of considerable area, in nearly pure growth, the trees being very uniform in size, 20 or 25 cm. in diameter and 18 to 22 meters high. But occasional specimens are found 90 cm. in diameter and 45 meters high. If there are any characters by which contorta and murrayaim may be distinguished botan- ically, they remain to be pointed out. None of the slight differences heretofore relied upon are at all constant. Some of the earlier botanical writers referred to our tree erroneously as Pinus inops Sol. or Pinus hanhsiana Lamb. LARIX.

The type of C. preslii came from the shores of Nootka Sound, and there is scarcely a possibility that the high alpine C. leporina americana can be the same. It is much more likely that C. preslii is a form of C.festiva. C. petasata Dewey, the type of whivh is in the Gray Herbarium, is a very different species from C . phaeocephala. 72.

But Mr. Carl Purdy retains that name for a closely allied species ranging from the Columbia River to Mendocino County, California, which may also range up the Washington coast to the vicinity of "King (ieorge's Sound," i. e., the Gulf of Georgia. aRees' Cyclopedia 13: no. 3. 1809.

The western Washington forms are more nearly typical, having the glands of the perianth very distinctly limited.

The Washington specimens referred l)y Hooker « to Leimanthium nuitallii and by Cooper l> to Anticlea nnttaUii and A. doucjlasii are with little doubt Zi/gadenus venenosus. CONVALLARIACEAE.

The .species is closely allied to S. idahoense Bicknell, but its fref|ucntly branched stems scarcely permit its association therewith. Typical S. idahoense occuiied, however, in drier ground near by and it is possible tha^t our plant is merely a luxuriant branched form of that species. 204 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM, 4.

An exceedingly variable species as to foliage and habit, l)ut in floral characters apparently not capable of being divided. In rich soils it often becomes a tree 10 to 20 meters high and 15 to 40 cm. in diameter. The young leaves and bark have a peculiar fetid odor. Owing to the fact that Tolmie's specimens were a mixture of this species and of S. sitchensis Sanson, some botanists have discarded the name scouleriana. It is, however, not probable that the real types, namely, Scouler's specimens, were similarly a mixture, hence the action is not justifiable. Barratt's original types seem to be lost. 12.

The ver}' similar tree in Stevens County and in the Blue Mountains is somewhat smaller in size and often white-barked. The name Betula piperi was meant by its author to apply to the third unnamed species in the Flora of the Palouse Region, but the specimen actually cited is the eastern Washington form of B. occidentalis Hook.

Professor Greene considers the Washington-British Columbia form as a dift'erent species from that of California, but if this is so, it is the California plant that should have its name altered, as all the above names belong to the northern plant. Quercus gilberti is the low, often prostrate, oak occurring about the Gulf of Georgia and locally known as vine oak. It is remarkably variable in foliage, but no fruiting specimens have been found. In sheltered places it assumes the ordinary form of Q. garryana. For an illustration of this species see Plate IX, facing page 42. CASTANOPSIS. 1. Castanopsis clirysophylla (Dougl.) A. DC. in Seem.

Zonal distribution : Upper Souoran. Our tree has been referred to both C. occidentalis L. and C . reticulata Torr. It is perhaps only a geographical race of the former. Ordinarily it is a very scraggly tree, with very scabrous leaves, commonly distorted by insect work. In irrigated land, however, it is a graceful and attractive tree, the leaves bet>oming thinner, darker green, and much less rough.

Zonal distribution: Hudsonian and Arctic. Two forms of this variable species occur in Washington, both with white flowers. The alpine form has acute or acuminate leaves, w'hile the plant common on the cliffs along the Columbia River and in Island County has thinner obtuse or obtusish leaves and larger corymbs. Mr. Howell has referred the latter form to S. cherlerioides D. Don, with which, however, it is not identical. Small « recognizes Saxifraga ausiromoniana Wiegand as valid {Lepiasea ausiromoniana Small, loc. cit.) and describes the second form mentioned above as Lepiasea vesperiina. Saxifraga bronchialis L. as generally accepted is a polymorphic species and the above are, as we believe, mere subspecies at best. Intergrading forms occur.

Two forms of this variable species occur in our limits, one high alpine, densely cespitose, the leaves with short obtuse lobes and obscure veins; the other from cliffs along the Colum- bia River and the San Juan Islands, with thinner prominently veined leaves and a taller looser habit. The latter approaches closely S. caespitosa laxa Koch. The former is scarcely matched in European material. This has recently been proposed as a new species by Small b under the name Muscana emarginata, the type being Elmer's 2649. This plant is, however, much nearer to true S. cespiiosa than the thin-leaved form. Both are mere sub- species in our judgment. 4. Saxifraga adscendens L. Sp. PL 1 : 405. 1753.

Small" considers that two species have been confused under the above, which he dis- tinguishes as Heterisia mertensiana and H. eastwoodiae, the former with bulhlets in the inflorescence, the latter without. Both occur in Washington, and careful field study is needed to determine if the character relied upon is really specific. 7. Saxifraga odontophylla sp. nov. Perennial by stout rootstocks, not bulbous, entirely glabrous up to the inflorescence; leaves all basal, reniform-orbicular, somewhat fleshy, coarsely and evenly dentate with 15 to 25 teeth, 2 to 8 cm. broad; petioles usually 2 to 3 times as long as the blade; scapes 10 to 40 cm. high; inflorescence a loose, erect panicle, glandular; bracts- linear, the lower more or less dentate or occasionally foliaceous ; pedicels slender; calyx 5-parted, the lobes oval, obtu.se, 2 mm. long, reflexed in anthesis; petals white, orbicular and unguiculate, longer than the calyx; filaments spatulate, acuminate; ovary free; capsules usually purple, somewhat inflated, 7 to 8 mm. long, cleft to the middle, the beaks becoming divaricate. This species has long passed in American herbaria as S. punctata L. , a rare European species. Among American species it can only be confused with S. nelsoniana Don, which is a smaller plant with lobed rather than dentate leaves, pubescent stems and inflorescence, elliptical unclawed petals, and a more or less condensed flower cluster. S. odontophylla ranges from British Columbia to New Mexico and California.

Zonal distribution: Arctic and in the Columbia Gap. The specimens marked WTth an asterisk agree with the type of .S'. occidentalis in having cl.ivate filaments. The remaining specimens are very similar in all other respects but have subulate filaments. Watson included both forms in his original account of the species. If the filament character proves to be a real specific distinction, as may indeed be the case, we shall have two species of remarkable similarity. The form with subulate filaments is allied to S. nivalis L., under which name it has been distributed. The form from the Colum- bia Gap was referred in Hooker's Flora to S. vernalis Willd., and in Suksdorf's List to S. refexa Hook. Besides the above specimens a few others have been examined, evidently closely allied to S. marshallil, but which we hesitate to refer there, namely: Wenache Mountains, Whited 1040; Admiralty Head, Oscar Piper; Blue Mountains, Pljier, July, 1896. The whole group is in need of critical revision.'-' a In the recent treatment of Saxifraga Ijy Small in the North American Flora five species are recognized under the generic name Micranthes in what I have here referred to S. marshallii. The following characters are relied upon to distinguish them: Filaments subulate - - M- rnfidnla Small. Filaments clavate or spatulate. Petals bimaculate M. marshallii (Greene). Petals wholly white. Cymules permanently compact. Petals rounded at apex: species of northern Rocky Mount ains M. occidentalis (S. Wats.; . Petals notched at apex; species of the Northwest. . M. allenil Small. Cymules lax and open. Petals notched at the apex M. aeqiiidentata Small. The value of the al)ove characters will have to be deteiinined by careful field study and larger series of material. M. rufidula Small is probably a valid species, and according to the above characters will include all of the specimens above not marked with an asterisk. It may be remarked that this embraces most of the specimens from the bluffs of the 316 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 11. Saxifraga californica Greene, Pittonia 1 : 286. 1889.

It is very cjuestionable, too, if the character upon which M. aequi- dentata is based will suffice to distinguish it from M. allenii. Differences in the compact- ness of the cyme are subject to the degree of maturity of the specimens and to the effects of altitude and exposure. a Bull. Torr. Club 23: 366. 1896.

The typical form of this species occurs west of the Cascade Mountains. The eastern Washington forms are very variable as to leaf and fruit and consist perhaps, of two species. Specimens have frequently been referred to as Rosafendleri Crepin, but it is not at all clear how this is to be distinguished. Rosa californica Cham. & Schlecht, in typical form at least, seems not to reach Washington. Specimens so referred are probably forms of R. pisocarpa. AGRIMONIA. 1. Agrimonia gryposepala Wallr. Beitr.

Zonal distribution: Upper Sonoian. The western plant seems never to climb trees or walls, but is a low, erect, or decumbent shrub. Without better distinctions than this we see no reason for considering it a distinct species, as has been done by Small. Professor Greene, however, not only considers R. rydhergii Small as well founded, but proposes three additional new species for Washington plants under the generic name Toxicodendron,o namely, T. Jiesperium, founded on Whited's 241. T. lobadioides, and T. cortMceurn, the two latter founded on specimens collected by Suksdorf. 3. Rlius diversiloba Torr. & Gr. Fl. 1 : 218. 1838. Poison oak.

Collected by the writer in a sphagnum bog at Ilwaco, Pacific County, June 22, 1904 (no. 6451) . The type is deposited in the U. S. National Herbarium. Also collected at Clatsop, Oreg., by Coville, September, 1, 1898 (no. 869). - This species is nearest related to L. groenlandicum, from which it may at once be distin- guished by the absence of the tomentose pubescence. In this respect it resembles L. glan- dulosum alone, but the capsule characters are those of the former species. Its zonal position is apparently Humid Transition. GAULTHERIA.

Woodland forms tend to be thinner-leaved than the prairie form, and are usually more pubescent beneath. All gradations seem to occur between plants with leaves per- fectly glabrous beneath and those which are quite pubescent.

Three forms of this plant occur as to fruit, one wingless {major), the .second narrowly winged (microptera), the third broadly winged (congesta). They are considered distinct species by Suksdorf, but they do not differ in any character l)ut the fruit. All three forms occur in Washington. Plectritis congesta minor Hook. a has usually been considered a synonym of V. macrocera, but its type locality "near the mouth of the Columbia" is a region where macrocera is not known to occur. 4.

PIPER FLORA OF THE STATE OP WASHINGTON. 579 Prof E. L. Greene considers that the American plants generally referred to Bidens ctrnua represent not less than 13 species. The distinctions relied upon seem very slight. The western Washington specimens apparently are all referable to B. macounii, while most of the eastern Washington plants belong to B. lonchophylla.

Zonal distribution: Arid Transition and Upper Sonoran. An exceedingly common species presenting great variability as to leaf contour and pubescence. Several such forms have been considered species or subspecies, a di.sposition which seems to us entirely artificial. The plant is often called " white sage." 8. Artemisia atomifera sp. nov. Ccspitose, often in large clumps; stems suffrutescent, mostly simple up to the inflores- cence, 60 to 120 cm. high, coarsely striate, canescent or glabrate; leaves numerous, sub- sessile, firm, and rather rigid, green and nearly glabrous above, speckled with numerous white resinous atoms, closely white-tomcntose Ijcneath, excessively variable as to form, either all lanceolate and entire or all dentate or laciniate, or the larger ones 5 to 7-pinnately divided with narrow lobes, usually the upper ones entire, the lower variously dentate or lolx'd, commonly 2 to 6 cm. long; panicle oblong or somewhat pyramidal, 10 to 20 cm. long, more or less leafy-bracted, the heads glomerate or spicate on the ascending branches; involucre campanulate, canescently tomentose, more or less atomiferous like the leaves, 2 to 4 cm. high; bracts about 10, ovate, obtuse; flowers 10 to 25 in each head; mature akenes linear-oblong, glabrous, destitute of pappus. A species with the habit and appearance of ^4. ludonciana Nutt., to which it is cl sely allied, but apparently well marked by the peculiar atomiferous character of the uppe:- leaf surface. The odor is decidedly more pungent than that of A. ludoriciann. I have never met the species except in Snake River canyon at Wawawai and Almota. The type, in the U. S. National Herbarium, is my no. 6466 from Wawawai, a good series of which shows the variability of the foliage. Other specimens were collected at Wawawai July 19, 1892, and at Ahnota under no. 2321. 9.

Type specimens collected by the writer in open places in fir woods near the siil)url) of Poitland, Oreg., known as Mount Scott, June 6, 1904, no. 6189. A few colonies only were found, all pistillate. The species is perhaps nearest to A. ?iOMv//ii Greene, which was abundant in the same locality, Init that has larger and thicker leaves, nearly always smooth and green above witii the lateral margins nearly straight and with the heads usually sessile. I would^also refer to this species no. 485, G. R. Vasey, collected \n the Cascade Mountains, probably near Ellensburg, Wash., in 1889. This was referred doubtfully by Nelson (Pro- ceedings U. S. National Museum 33.71.3) to A. pedicellaia Greene, but that has a glandular inflorescence. The Vasey specimen differs from the type of A. concolor only m tliat the stems are sonK'what stouter, the leaves thicker and less suddenly narrowed into the petiole and the heads shorter-pedicelled.
