FLORA OF WASHINGTON, ADVERTISEMENT. eee The United States National Herbarium, 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, 1896, when it was returned to the official custody of the Smithsonian Institution. The Department of Agri- culture, 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, 1902, the National Museum, in pur- suance of an act of Congress, assumed responsibility for the publi- cation. The first seven volumes of the series were issued by the Department of Agriculture.

The following account of the flora of the State of Washington, by Prof. C. V. Piper, is based on his study of the plants of that State during a period of twenty years. This work was carried on in chance hours of leisure and in occasional summer vacations. During most of the college year 1899-1900, 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 herbaria of Prof. L. F. - Henderson, of Mr. Thomas Howell, and of Mr. W. N. Suksdorf were likewise freely consulted. Most 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 definitely rectified only by examining the original specimens. It is quite certain also that the current interpretation of a number of species based on these early 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 Piper be- came indebted to many botanists for assistance. He states that he - 5 6 PREFACE. is under especial obligations to Prof. B. L. Robinson, of the Gray Herbarium, 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. Eaton, for a key to the species of Isoetes; to Mr. P. L. Ricker and Mr. W. F. Wight, of the Department of Agriculture, for assistance in bibliography; to Dr. Theodor Holm and Prof. C. F. Wheeler 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. Hen- derson, of Moscow, Idaho. Frepertck V. CovILie, Curator of the United States National Herbarium. se —— Se es CAPRIEN. TS: Page.

The principal aim of the author in this work is to present a sum- mary of our present knowledge of the vascular plants 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 commonly used heretofore, or which may be proposed hereafter. As regards the limitation of species the author has in the main adopted « rather conservative attitude. Some of the recently pro- posed species seem well founded even if the differences are slight. In other cases the species or subspecies seem to be based on too shght characters and are therefore unworthy of nomenclatorial recogni- tion. As one’s acceptance or rejection of a proposed species depends in part on personal judgment, and in part 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 genera are considered to be made up of species of similar habit, rather than to be based on structural characters, seems inadvisable. Neither does it impress one as a valid argument that, because in some extremely natural families the genera must perforce be based on very slight 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 differences. 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 writer’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. While this may eventually prove to be the case, the suggestions here advanced may nevertheless serve as working hypotheses when 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 reiers to their labors mainly in so far as they concern the region covered by this work. Inasmuch as both Washington and Tdaho were included in Oregon until 1853, many of the earlier col- lections in these States are ascribed simply to “ Oregon,” though Washington and north Idaho are sometimes referred to as “ Upper Oregon,” notably in Geyer’s explorations. Before the name Oregon became attached to the northwest Pacific region the interior portions, especially south Idaho and eastern Oregon, were more or less vaguely included in “ Upper California,” a phrase not unusual on Douglas’s plant labels, and quite frequently used in the Botany of Beechey’s Voyage. Still earlier than this the name “ New Georgia ” was em- ployed, mainly for the region bordering Puget Sound and the Gulf of Georgia. The most vague term of all, “ Northwest Coast,” has been made by different writers to include everything from the northern boundary 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 1860, namely, Menzies, Lewis, Douglas, Scouler, Tolmie, Gairdner, Wyeth, Nuttall, Pickering and Brackenridge, Geyer, Spalding, Jef- ee ee ee ee ee a ee a Se PIPER—FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. TT frey, Cooper, and Lyall. Besides these may be mentioned Mogino, who botanized at Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island, in 1792, and Thaddeus Haenke, who was at the same place in 1791. Nootka Sound, an important harbor in early times, was also visited by Menzies and by Scouler, and consequently is the type locality of many northwestern species. MENZIES. Archibald Menzies (1754-1842) was the surgeon and naturalist with Vancouver during his explorations from 1790 to 1795, 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 already visited the “ Northwest 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 commonly ascribed to the “ Northwest Coast,” or to “ New Georgia.” 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, 1843, crossed a high spur 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 junction with the Spokane. During the season of 1844 Geyer made excursions northward to Old Fort Colville on the Columbia, southeastward up the Spokane River and into the mountains about Lake Coeur 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 Walla Walla 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- markably good. A nearly complete set of his plants is in the Gray 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 Herbarium. Most of them are labeled “ Clearwater, Oregon,” but inasmuch as a number of them have not since been found near Lapwai it is not improbable that they were col- lected elsewhere. 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 he made collections on Vancouver Island and on the smaller islands and the mainland near the forty-ninth parallel. In 1859 the western slopes of the Cascades near the boundary were explored. _ In 1860 the surveyors went up the Columbia, dividing at The Dalles into two parties. One party, which Lyall accompanied, traveled in- a northerly direction, past Fort Simcoe, across the Naches and other PIPER—FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 17 tributaries of the Yakima, thence over the Wenache Mountains to the Columbia, 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 1,670 meters (5,480 feet) elevation on the boundary, where they remained some time. The other party proceeded to Fort Walla Walla and thence north- ward, crossing the Snake at the mouth of the Palouse and passing Rock 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 1860 the survey.was completed nearly to the Idaho line. _ Lyall’s account of his botanical observations is brief, but very inter- esting. A nearly complete set of his plants is in the Gray Herbarium. JEFFREY. 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.” Jeffrey was at Fort Colville May 18, 1851, reaching that point from the northward. During this season he spent much of the time in north- ern Washington and adjacent British Columbia. Late in the season he was on Mount Baker. In May of the following year Jeffrey was at Fort Nisqually, and during June and July at Fort Vancouver. His remaining explorations were all southward. 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 portions 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 Railroad Reports, volume 12, part 2. COLLECTORS SINCE 1860. Among botanical collectors since 1860 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 29418—06 m——2 18 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. herbaria, while his private collection is among the best in the North- west. Mr. Thomas Howell, whose long and extensive labors hava mainly been limited to Orcwon, has nevertheless collected much in Washing- ton, especially in the counties bordering on the Columbia. Mr. é Howell’s herbarium is now in the possession of the Oregon State University, but sets of his plants are widely distributed. A con- siderable collection of Klickitat County plants was also made by Mr. Joseph Howell. Professor L. F. Henderson, who has also collected much in Oregon, ‘gathered rich material in the Olympic Mountains in 1890, 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 private herbarium, one of the most complete in its representation of North Pacific plants, was unfor- 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 were 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 New 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 Gray Herbarium. Charles A. Ramm 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 Dewaranient 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. Rey. Ernest C. Smith botanized in the vicinity of Seattle in 1889 and 1890, in the latter year 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. Mrs. Susan Tucker made collections near Cheney in 1889, and again in 1903. Pye - a PIPER—FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 19 Prof. E. R. Lake and Mr. W. R. Hull collected in 1892 in the Blue Mountains, and later in Douglas and Chelan counties. Messrs. Sandberg and Leiberg, collecting for the Department of Agriculture, botanized along the Great Northern Railway from Spokane to the summit of the Cascade Mountains in 1893. Their collections are very large and valuable. During the preceding year these same botanists, together with Dr. D. T. MacDougal and Mr. A. A. Heller, collected in Latah and Nez Perce counties, Idaho, inci- dentally gathering plants at a few adjacent points in Washington. Prof. J. B. Flett has been active in studying the flora of the State since 1895. He has made extensive collections in the Olympic Moun- tains, on Mount Rainier, about Tacoma, -in Island County, and in the Mount Adams region. Mr. O. D. Allen during the year 1895, and subsequently, has pre- pared exquisite sets of specimens from the region about Mount - Rainier. His plants are in all the leading herbaria. Mr. A. D. E. Elmer botanized in 1896 in Whitman County; in 1897 in Okanogan and Kittitas counties; in 1898 about Mount Stuart, and in 1900 in Clallam County. His specimens are in many herbaria. Prof. R. M. Horner made fine sets of the plants of the Blue Moun- tains in 1896 and 1897. A complete set of his plants is in the National Herbarium. Mr. N. L. Gardner collected in 1897 and 1898, mainly about Coupeville. : Mr. M. W. Gorman secured a fine set of plants in the Washington Forest Reserve in 1897 for the National Herbarium. He has also collected in Klickitat County and elsewhere. Mr. F. H. Lamb collected in 1897 in the little known region north- ward from Grays Harbor. Several herbaria have sets of his plants. Mr. A. A. Heller made sets of specimens in 1898 from the vicinity of Montesano. They have been distributed to the leading herbaria. Mr. Kirk Whited has for several years past made large collections in Kittitas and Chelan counties, adding much to the knowledge of that interesting region. Mr. John S. Cotton has made very extensive collections in central Washington since 1900, mostly in Yakima County. In 1902 he col- lected in company with Dr. David Griffiths. Mr. Frank O. Kreager collected sets of plants in Stevens and Spo- ~ Jane counties in 1903, and the flora of the same region has been further explored by Prof. R. K. Beattie and Ronald Chapman in— 1904. Mr. H. C. Conrad made valuable collections in 1903 on the Quin- ault Indian Reservation of Chehalis County. Dr. Ruhn, U. S. Army, gathered specimens about Muckleshoot Prairie, King County, and sent them to Doctor Gray. The labels bear no dates. 20 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. Others have made smaller collections of plants in the State. Their © ames appear in association with the specimens they gathered. The writer’s personal observations and collections have been made in many parts of the State. Especially extensive collections were made about Seattle, 1885-1892; Mount Rainer, 1888 and 1895; Olympic Mountains, 1890 and 1895; Union City, 1890; Pullman and vicinity, 1893-1903; Blue Mountains, 1896. The earliest of these collections are in the herbarium of the State University at Seattle; the remainder are at Pullman, in the State College of Washington. The herbarium of the State College, which more than any other is the basis of this work, contains about 40,000 sheets of Washington plants, including very full sets of the Washington collections of Howell, Henderson, Suksdorf, Vasey, Sandberg and Leiberg, Gorman, Flett, Whited, Horner, Lake and Hull, Allen, Elmer, Gardner, Lamb, Heller, Cotton, Cotton and Griffiths, Kreager, Mrs. L. A. Bouck, Beattie and Chapman, and Conard. : 7 be COLUMB * we 5 IAHKIAKUM 1 H ! trSumee c “A ‘ SI. aS ! | ( ‘230 gaa Auth WALLA be ASOTIN aa ia BY { rr 3 aor % SKAMANIA Wise NS (Wah Walt Zinder oY 0s ge \ . 0 8 1 | f KLIKKTAT c ! \ £ 1 ZA 8 O35 6 i74 Se er tats on il we PIPER—FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. _ 29 approached only by that of the regions about Mobile, Ala., and Cape - Hatteras, N. C. The rainfall of the Puget Sound 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 eastern Washington 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 accompanied either by winds or by lightning. Perhaps 90 per cent of the rains consist of gentle drizzles, locally characterized as “ Ore- gon mists.” re A most striking feature of the rainfall is the very low amount of precipitation during the summer months.. This has given rise to a distinction between a “ dry ” or summer season and a “ wet ” or winter season, though in reality the wet season includes much of the spring in all parts 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 portion 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 3 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 2 inches. The normal annual rainfall for the Vancouver strip during the three summer months is less than 6 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 westerry 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. As 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, 146, 153, and 178; the partly cloudy days, 92, 95, and 90; the cloudy days, 127, 117, and 98. The largest numbers of clear days were 207, 228, and 230. The smallest records for the same years were 67, 77, and 85. 30 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. If the records are 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 166, 168, and 193. These data show very clearly that eastern Washington has much more sunshine than western Washington, and also that in the region of less than 10 inches rainfall, which closely coincides with 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 90 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 Michigan, 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 Mississippi 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. TEMPERATURE. WESTERN WASHINGTON. Temperature records of the United States Weather 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 region in immediate proximity 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 different 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 within the Arid Transition. The Upper Sonoran stations are Ellensburg, Ephrata, Kennewick, Lind, Mottinger’s Ranch, Moxee, Odessa, South Ellensburg, Sunnyside, _ Trinidad, Walla Walla, Wenache, and Zindel. The normal annual mean temperature for the whole region is 48.7°; for the Arid Transi- tion stations alone it is 45.9°; and for the Upper Sonoran stations it is 51.3°. .

As regards temperature, eastern Washington 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 with the Arid Transition is several degrees warmer. A notable feature of the temperature of Washington, in conformity with much 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 Washington such killing frosts are not unusual up to April 15, and rarely a month later. Except in the warmest portions of eastern Washington killing frosts occur not uncommonly up to June 1, and infrequently three weeks later. The first autumnal frosts in western Washington occur as early as the middle of September or as late as the middle of November; rarely they may 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 chinooks. This term is usually applied only to the winds that blow in the winter 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 heavy rains; rarely they are cold and dry. The wet chinooks are in eastern Washington remarkable chiefly for the rapid rising of the temperature which they occasion. These winds are often quite severe. This is particularly true of the occasional southwest winds which occur in summer, which 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, blowing from the north or northeast. These winds 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 the treeless bunchgrass prairies and sage plains of eastern Washing- ton and the luxuriant coniferous forests of western Washington is too striking to overlook. In this partieular 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 witnessed in the ascent of any of our higher mountain peaks. As elevation increases the famil- iar lowland plants disappear and different ones present themselves, which in turn give way at high altitudes to still others. The mest marked of these changes is that where the timber ceases and the alpine meadows present their charming carpet of flowers. Here the changes are due manifestly not to differences in humidity, but to les- sened temperature, a conclusion emphasized by the fact that meny of these alpine plants are the identical species which occur in arctic regions. Heat and moisture are undoubtedly the principal physical factors upon which the distribution of plants depend. A third factor may be important, even determinative, namely, the character of the soil, but this is much less potent than the two above named. In addition to these physical factors only one other need be considered, the bio- logical factor of ancestry. In general, plants inhabit the regions where their ancestors thrived. This factor is usually continental in its scope; thus cacti and yuccas are confined to America; eucalypti to Australia, and lilacs to Asia. But in a similar way this same fac- tor operates over small areas, and it is the principal cause why the Pacific coast flora as a whole is different from that of the Atlantic. The existing plants are different because their immediate ancestors were, whatever factors may have determined that. It is not to be understood from this that all the plants which for- merly flourished in Washington have left descendants there. In Ter- tiary times such plants as palms, cinnamon trees, and sequoias grew in Washington. Some of these require tropical or subtropical condi- tions of heat; others, as the sequoias, probably have given way in competition with more aggressive species. Nevertheless the broad statement remains true that the present vegetation of tle region owes its character in large part to similar ancestors. Th2 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 generally admitted that heat is the most potent factor in determining the distribution of plants, and that in general the old division into Arctic, Temperate, and Tropical zones approximates the real truth.. Such zonation, depending 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 being 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 depending on heat are strikingly different, yet each passes gradually into the contiguous ones. Determination of such zones is therefore more or less arbitrary. ‘The scheme of life zones, so far as North America is concerned, that has resulted from the studies of Merriam has been generally adopted.

PIPER—FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 41 the red fir (Psevdotsuga mucronata) which in the Puget Sound region often makes up over 90 per cent of the forest over large areas (PI. VII), and up to an altitude of 1,000 meters seldom forms a smaller element of the total forest than 60 per cent. Nearly all of western Washington below the altitude mentioned possesses this character- istic red fir type of vegetation, except a narrow strip along the Pacific Ocean. Here the Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) becomes the dominant tree, making up from 25 to 75 per cent of the forest, while the red fir falls to 10 per cent or less. This narrow strip has been considered as belonging to the next higher zone, the Canadian, but for reasons hereafter expressed we would include it in the Humid Transition. The principal features of the vegetation of western Washington may be discussed under the three heads of the principal types of soils, namely, the Uplands, the Bottom Lands, and the Gravelly Prairies. Plant associations of lesser importance, but of marked character, are those of the seashores and of sphagnum bogs. UPLANDS. The vegetation of the uplands throughout the Pacific area in Washington is a plant association in which the red fir predominates. The size of this tree and the luxuriance of the associated plants varies with the character of the soil, but otherwise the formation is remarkably uniform. In forests in dry or sterile soils the commonest undershrubs are salal (Gaultheria shallon) and Oregon grape (Ber- beris nervosa), while the bracken fern (Pteridiwm)is the most con- spicuous herb. Shrubs or trees of Scouler willow (Salix scouleriana) are also constantly associated. In better soils the same shrubs remain, but the salal especially becomes much more luxuriant, often forming almost impenetrable thickets. When, however, the red fir is at its best, forming dense forests into which the sun scarcely penetrates (Pl. VIII) the salal and Oregon grape are usually much less conspicuous. Under such circumstances the ground is covered with a thick layer of mosses and scattered crowns of Chamisso’s shield fern (Polystichum munitum). Among the few shrubs which thrive in such dense shade is the red huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium). Following the destruction of a red fir forest by logging and subsequent burning, as has been too commonly the case, there is a marked sequence in the plants that appear, usually. as follows: The first are nearly always the fireweed (Epilobium spicatum) and the bracken (Pteridium). These are closely followed by the dewberry (Rubus macropetalus) which the following year fruits heavily and then gradually disappears. The thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus) is often abundant also, as is red- 42 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. flowered currant (Ribes sanguineum). By this time the Scouler wil- low is conspicuous, and in wet places the red alder (Alnus oregana). 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, which, however, is seldom pure. Rarely either one of these trees may occupy the ground exclusively. Usually, however, there are associated various other trees, as white fir (Abies grandis), large- leaved maple (Acer macrophyllum), Oregon ash (Fravinus oregana), and cottonwood (Populus 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 swamps 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 (Cornus occidentalis), crabapple (Pyrus diversifolia), and vine maple (Acer circinatum). 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 (Zchino- panax horridum) which, contrary to the oft-told tale, seldom forms dense thickets, the salmon berry (Rubus spectabilis) , the fetid currant (Libes bracteosum), and the red-berried elder (Sambucus callicarpa). GRAVELLY PRAIRIES. 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 prairies com- monly present the appearance of a sterile pasture (Pl. IX) with seat- tered oaks (Quercus garryana) here and there, and occasional beauti- fully symmetrical young trees of red fir. At the edges of the prairie, 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 2 pce ANY Siang! ert a PLATE IX. Contr. Nat. Herb., Vol. XI.

After this time they present a distinctly arid appearance. The flora consists of a considerable number of species which, so far as ‘Washington and Oregon are concerned, do not occur ae where, though most of them range into California. Among them are the following: Arenaria tenella. Lupinus lepidus. Dodecatheon latifolium. Microseris laciniata. Erythronium giganteumn. e Orthocarpus attenuatus. Gilia tenella. Platystigma oreganun. Godetia amoena. Ranunculus orthorhynchus. Godetia quadrivulnera. - Senecio fastigiata. Grindelia integrifolia. Sericocarpus rigidus. Hemizonella durandi. Solidago tolmieana, Hookera coronata. Synthyris rotundifolia. Hookera pulchella. Trifolium halilii. Hosackia gracilis. Trifolium tridentatum. Tris tenax. Valerianella congesta. Lomatium utriculatum. Viola howellii. . Lupinus albicaulis. A much larger 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 Columbia on both sides of the Cascade Moun- tains. Here, as in the case of the Upper Sonoran species of Califor- nia origin, there is good reason to believe that most of the species reached the Columbia Basin through the Klamath Gap. Character- istic examples are the following: ea Agoseris heterophylla. Alchemilla occidentalis. Alsine nitens. Antennaria howellii. Athysanus pusillus. Balsamorhiza balsamorhiza.

It consists of Arid Transition plants common enough east, of the Cascade Mountains, which are known to occur west of these moun- tains only on Whidby Island, or, in a few cases, on neighboring islands. They deserve particular mention. Sieversia ciliata is abundant east of the Cascades, ranging as a common plant to Minnesota and Nebraska, and as a rarity even to New England. West of the Cascades it is known only from the prairies a Whidby Island. Aphyllon comosum, a parasit® 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. Polemonium micranthum and Lupinus microcarpus, both on Whidby Island, together with Platyspermum scapigerum, Aster con- spicuus, and Scutellaria angustifolia, known from Vancouver Island, are cases practically parallel to that of Aphyllon comosum. Tris missouriensis is abundant east of the Cascades, ranging to Dakota and Nebraska. Its station near Coupeville is the only one known in the Vancouver strip. Juniperus scopulorum, which crosses the Cascades to reappear in Island and San Juan counties, is a somewhat similar case. There needs to be mentioned also the only cactus that oceurs in the Vancouver strip, Opuntia polyacantha borealis, 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 Olympic Mountains, and therefore have a lesser rainfall, as may be seen by comparison with the rainfall map. The conditions, therefore, more nearly approximate 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 only 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 Zilaea subulata, Festuca reflexa, and Microseris bigelovii, not otherwise known north of Oregon, and especially the cases of Baeria gracilis and Allocarya chorisiana, which leap from California to Vancouver, seem, however, to lend weight to the latter hypothesis. Ee PIPER—FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 45 SEASHORES. Immediate proximity to the sea furnishes conditions that support a strip of vegetation consisting of few but very characteristic species. On the Washington coast there are two marked formations—the sand dunes and the salt marshes. . Typical sand dunes are ‘confined to the ocean coast, not occurring on Puget Sound. The important sand-loving plants are: ieee Pea 5 Abronia latifolia. Lathyrus littoralis. Abronia umbellata. Lupinus littoralis. Carex macrocephala Poa macrantha, Glehnia littoralis. Tanacetum huronense. Less abundant, but not less characteristic, are: - Agoseris maritima. Pentacaena ramosissima. Carex pansa. Poa confinis. Gaertneria chamissonis. Polygonum paronychia, Juncus lescurii. Sanicula howellii. In the lee of the dunes or on shores where the sand does not drift there is often a strip of black pine (Pinus contorta), forming dense thickets, the trees seldom over 30 feet high. Where not timbered various species adapted to campestrine conditions abound, but few of them are confined to the seashore. Such are: Argentina anserina. Fragaria chiloensis. Carduus edulis. Trifolium wormskioldii. Cerastium arvense. Viola adunca. Festuca rubra. Intermediate in character between these meadowy beaches and sand dunes are sand spits and high, sandy ‘beaches. These maintain, in consequence, a rather mixed flora. Salt or brackish marshes are most commonly found on low shores, especially near the mouths of streams, where they are at least occa- sionally covered by high tides. They often occur also-behind high sea beaches. Most of the plants are those which love a saline soil. The most characteristic are saltgrass (Distichlis spicata) and glass- wort (Salicornia ambigua), the latter often infested with a dodder (Cuscuta squamigera) . A portion of the plants found in these seashore marshes are con- fined to the immediate proximity of the sea. Such are: Ammodenia peploides. ~ Jaumea carnosa. Atriplex littoralis. Lathyrus maritimus. Carex cryptocarpa. Orthocarpus castilleioides. Coelopleurum maritimum. Sidalcea hendersoni. Conioselinum fischeri. Tissa marina. Others occur also in alkaline marshes in the interior, such as Juncus balticus, Glaux maritima, and Triglochin maritimum. 46 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM, A few other species exhibit a marked predilection for proximity to the sea without being apparently either sand-loving or salt-loving plants. Such are: Artemisia suksdorfii. Poa pachypholis. Calamagrostis aleutica. Polypodium scouleri. Hydastylus borealis. Salix hookeriana. Hydastylus brachypus. NSelaginella struthioloides. 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 Ruppia maritima occurs in brackish waters. r SPHAGNUM BOGS, Sphagnum bogs are quite common throughout western Washington. The usual shrubs are Labrador tea (Ledum latifolium), laurel (dal- mia glauca), and cranberry (Oawycoceus oxycoccus intermedius). Usually a willow (Salix myrtilloides), sweet gale (Myrica gale), and a dwarf birch (Betula glandulosa) are present also. On the drier hummocks small hemlocks (7'suga heterophylla) often occur, and in similar situations one is often surprised to find the black pine (Pinus contorta), typically a plant of barren, gravelly or sandy soil. The more interesting and characteristic herbs are sundew (Drosera rotundifolia), cotton-grass (Eriophorum russeolum), Scheuchzeria palustris, and Juncus oregana. In the bogs near the ocean coast Ledum columbianum and. Myrica californica replace their two close relatives. THE COASTAL STRIP. One other important forest association of Washington, namely, the tideland or Sitka spruce forests, in immediate proximity to the Pacific Ocean, is perhaps best classed as Humid Transition zone rather than otherwise. The facts in the distribution of this species are peculiar. It is the dominant tree, forming over 50 per cent of the forest strip, along the coast from middle Oregon northward to Kadiak Island, beyond which all timber ceases, and the flora becomes almost that of the Artic Zone. Therefore we have this one species of tree dominat- ing a continuous stretch of sea level, from the Arctic Zone to the Humid Transition, through both the Hudsonian and the Canadian zones. In the north the Sitka spruce forests end sharply with the arctic meadows. In the south they merge imperceptibly with the — red-fir forests. This enormous stretch of a single species at sea level is probably due to the remarkably equable temperature and great humidity of the immediate seacoast. PIPER—FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 47 That this strip of Sitka spruce should be considered Humid Tran- sition rather than Canadian or Hudsonian is open to question. Accompanying the spruce throughout all or nearly all of its range, are some other plants, such as /bes laxiflorum, Moneses uniflora, Menziesia ferruginea, Cornus canadensis, and Viola glabella, which in the Cascade Mountains ocair 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 spruce forests, such as the salal (Gaultheria shallon), © huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium), and the evergreen huckleberry (V. ovatum). Some others, as the salmon berry (Rubus spectabilis) and the devil’s club (4chinopanaw 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 foliow down the coast with the spruce, but do not follow down the mountain ranges. Such are the marsh plants Viola langs- dorfii, Nephrophyllidium crista-galli, and Caltha asarifolia; the dune plants, Carex macrocephala, and Glehnia littoralis; and Cala- magrostis aleutica, Coelopleurum gmelini, which on the Washington coast splits into two supposedly different species, Carew cryptocarpa, Conioselinum fischeri, and Ammodenia peploides. On the other hand, the northward extension of various Californian coastal plants overlaps the southward extension of these Alaskan species. Among these are Abronia latifolia and A. umbellata, Angelica hendersoni, Gaertneria chamissonis, Myrica californica, and Pentacaena ramosissima. Perhaps, too, the peculiar conditions of this coastal strip may aid in explaining the local abundance of Pinus 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- 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 (Agropyron spicatum) and a June grass (Poa sand- bergii). Indeed, these areas are often called bunchgrass prairies. They constitute the most extensive and valuable lands of the Colum- bia Basin, and consist entirely of basaltic soil, except in a few gravelly valleys of glacial origin. The upper subdivision is covered by a forest of yellow pine. This grows mostly.on soils of granitic origin above the level of the Columbia lava. Ps THE BUNCHGRASS PRAIRIES. These constitute a belt of varying width lying between the zone of sagebrush below and that of yellow pine above.. Altitudinally they lie between 500 and 800 meters. The bunchgrass prairies are best developed in extreme eastern Washington, there constituting the rolling hills known as the Palouse and Walla Walla regions. In the so-called “ Big Bend Country ” of Lincoln and Douglas counties the prairies are very similar, but less rolling. In Yakima and Klicki- tat counties the bunchgrass lands are confined to the high plateaus, known as the Rattlesnake Mountains and Horse Heaven (PI. XI). On the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains they are limited in extent. The basaltic soil of these prairies where the rainfall is compara- tively large is a black clay loam, perfectly free from grit. The subsoil is similar, but yellowish in color. These soils have originated wholly from the decomposition of basalt in place, and vary from a few inches to 50 feet or more in depth. Owing to the prevailing southwest winds the hills have, as a rule, much steeper north and northeast slopes, on which the accumulated soil is unusually fine and deep. These moister “north hillsides” support a vegetation much like the narrow vales or draws between the hills. In regions of decreasingly less rainfall there is a correspondingly smaller degree of disintegration of the basaltic rock, which indeed often crops out upon the surface. Such rocky lands are locally called “scab” or “scablands.” The lie for the most part between the typical bunchgrass prairies and the sagebrush plains, but possess in the main the flora of the former. The bunchgrass prairies (Pl. XII) are treeless, and excepting along — streams and by springs, or on north hillsides, shrubs are rarely seen. Of the herbaceous vegetation, apart from the grasses, the most con- spicuous plants are the lupines (Lupinus ornatus, L. sericeus, and L. wyethii), often very abundant; the sunflowers (Balsamorhiza sagit- tata and Helianthella douglasii), Gaillardia aristata, Geranium inci- sum, and Leptotaenia multifida.

Along the streams and by springs willows of several species, to- gether with a thorn (Crataegus brevispina) form thick copses. Occa- sionally aspens (Populus tremuloides) and cottonwood (P. tricho- carpa) form groves. The commoner undershrubs are snowberry (Symphoricarpos racemosus) , roses (Rosa nutkanaand FR. pisocarpa) , and gooseberries (bes inerme and RF. irriguum). Intermingled with these are other shrubs of less importance. Occasionally, how- ever, the birch (Betula microphylla) 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 conspicuous are: Castilleja miniata. Solidago scrotina. Clematis hirsutissima. Urtica lyallii. Heracleum lanatum. Urtica holosericea. Lupinus leucophyllus. Valeriana ceratophylla. Sidalcea oregana, ’ Veratrum californicum. The north hillsides flora consists mainly of plants found in the “ draws,” though there are several species which, while not entirely confined to the north hillsides, flourish there especially well. Such are the adder’s tongue (Zrythronium grandiflorum), blueberry (Vac- cinium cespitosum), Trillium petiolatum, 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 cusickti) which often occurs in the cracks of basalt crags. The rock-rose or bitterroot (Lewisia rediviva) 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 cusickii. Lomatium grayi. Eriogonum thymoides. Lomatium macrocarpum. Lomatium canbyi. Talinum spinescens. Lomatium farinosum, 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. (Pl.

The. yellow pine belt in eastern Washington 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 bull pine (Pinus ponderosa), de- scends nearly to sea level, as along the Columbia River, and specimens of the trees are occasionally found at 1,800 meters (6,000 feet) alti- tude. This tree exhibits a marked predilection for soils of granitic origin, and whenever such soil is found, even if completely 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- bered with this tree. Likewise narrow tongues of the Columbia basalt of the usual elevation, 600 to 750 meters (2,000 to 2,500 feet), extending into Idaho between the flanks of granitic mountains, are covered with yellow pine forests. Nevertheiess, 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 provide in western Idaho, it is evident that the soil factor is not the only one that has prevented the spread of the pine forest. | Yellow pine forests (Pls. 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 (Opulaster pauciflorus, buckbrush (Ceanothus sanguineus), and rose (Rosa gymnocarpa). At a somewhat higher altitude where the yellow pine is at its best, the commonest undershrub is the huckle- berry (Vaccinium macrophyllum). Where such forests are more open the most abundant plant is often the pinegrass (Calamagrostis suksdorfit) . Yellow pine forests are, however, seldom pure, except at low alti- tudes in rather dry soil. In the moister situations afforded by higher altitude, shaded slopes, or valleys, the yellow pine is usually mixed with red fir (Pseudotsuga mucronata) in varying proportions. In- deed, as the moisture becomes greater the proportion 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- 7 htc iets Ga pastes Ail PLATE XIV. Contr. Nat.

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 (Abdées lasiocarpa) (Pl. XVII). In the Olympic and Cascade mountains this is always accompanied by the black hemlock (7suga mertensiana), 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 (Pinus albicaulis) 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 the Blues and Bitterroots. Comparatively few shrubs and herbs are definitely limited to this zone. Among the more conspicuous are an azalea (Rhododendron albiflorum), a currant (Pibes howellii), and the western mountain ash (Pyrus occidentalis). In places the bear grass (Xerophyllum tenaz) 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, Addams, 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.

In a State where conditions are so diverse as in Washington, and where practically every locality that has been carefully explored contains species of apparently very limited range, it is difficult to say which places have transcendent botanical interest. Where, however, the local massing of species of narrow range can be associated with more or less definite environmental conditions, the phenomenon is worth especial consideration. The following areas thus deserves special attention. THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS. The most striking peculiarities as regards these mountains, botan- ically considered, are the excessive rainfall on their southern and western slopes, and their isolated position. The heavy moisture precipitation results in modifying greatly the effect of altitude, so that the lines of zonal demarcation are much obscured. Many Humid 29418—06 m——5 66 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. Transition species ascend even to the Hudsonian zone, producing thus a strange mixture of lowland and subaipine plants. From the isolated position of these mountains together with their considerable elevation, some peculiarities would naturally be presup- posed. The flora is, however, exceedingly similar to that of the Cascade Mountains. One misses, to be sure, a few conspicuous Cas- cade inhabitants, such as Savifragu tolmiei, Lupinus lyallii, Gentiana calycosa, and Eucephalus ledophyllus, but the great majority of the plants are the same as those of the Cascades. The species which are not of the Cascade Mountains present, however, some interesting problems. Up to the present time there are only about ten species known to be peculiar to the Olympics, and these are all species of high altitude and most. of them abundant as to individuals. They are as follows: Aster paucicapitatus. Senecio flettii. Campanula piperi. Spiraea hendersoni. Epilobium mirabile. Synthyris pinnatifida tomen- Erysimum arenicola, tosa, Polemonium amoenum. Viola flettii. Campanula piperi is nearly related to an Alaskan species. The others have their nearest relatives in Cascade and Sierra forms. Some few species have a strangely isolated station in the Olympics. Phaca hookeriana, a species of the mountains of northern California and adjacent Nevada, also occurs in the Blue Mountains and then, apparently vaulting the Cascades, reappears in the Olympics. Synthyris pinnatifida tomentosa likewise has no close relative ex- cept in the Wasatch and Rocky Mountains. Thermopsis montana, collected in Chehalis County, is not other- wise known west of the eastern border of Washington. Therofon majus intermedium is a subspecies whose parent species occurs in southeastern Oregon and California, and strangely enough reappears in abundance in the Bitterroots, though unknown in the Blue Mountains. Hedysarum boreale, a very abundant species in the Olympics, is not known from the Cascades at all, though occurring in the north- ern Rockies and eastward to New England. In the northern Cas- cades and in the Bitterroots appears the closely related species 7. sulphurescens. - Heuchera racemosa is an abundant species in the higher Olympics. Otherwise it is a very rare plant, on Mount Adams and on Mount Rainier. Further explorations of these mountains are likely to disclose other peculiar species. These should be sought especially on the highest peaks. PLATE XVIII. Contr. Nat.

XVIIT), extend- ing a distance of about 50 kilometers (38 miles), presents peculiarities scarcely paralleled elsewhere in the Pacific northwest. The cliffs, ris- ing hundreds of meters vertically, present almost every rupestrine con- dition. Some of them are in almost perpetual shadow, others sub- jected to bright sunshine. Some become dry almost with the cessa- tion of the spring rains, others are bathed constantly in the spray of waterfalls. There are thus furnished suitable conditions, both to species from the arid interior and to others that normally flourish only in cool mountain valleys. The resultant association of Cana-’ dian or even Hudsonian species with those of the Transition zones is -strikingly peculiar. | That such an unusual environment should be the habitat of a con- siderable number of species not found elsewhere might have been predicted. No less than 16 species are practically confined to this region. They are: Agrostis howellii. Lomatium sp. nov. Calamagrostis howellii. Mimulus alsinoides. Delphinium trolliifolium. Pentstemon barrettae. Dodecatheon dentatum. Erigeron howellii. Erigeron oreganus. Hemieva violacea. Hieracium longiberbe. Poa multnomae. Sullivantia oregana. Tellima odorata. Valerianella aphanoptera. Viburnum ellipticum. Some few others are worthy of special mention. Bolandra oregana, otherwise confined to the Columbia gorge, reappears on the bluffs of Snake River in Wallowa County, Oreg. Synthyris reniformis, abundant on the Oregon side of the gorge almost at the river’s edge, has its real home in the Canadian and Hud- sonian zones of the Blue and Bitterroot mountains. Like several, other species, it does not occur on the Washington side of the Colum- bia gorge. A number of the Canadian and Hudsonian species that descend into the Columbia gorge are more or less modified from their original forms and may be regarded as subspecies, when compared with the alpine forms. Such are: Romanzoffia sitchensis. Saxifraga bronchialis, Saaxifraga caespitosa. Saxifraga occidentalis. Valeriana sitchensis. But a larger number preserve their identity beyond question. Such are: Carex macrochaeta, Chelone nemorosa. Cornus canadensis. Douglasia laevigata. Pentstemon diffusus. Pentstemon rupicola. Polypodium hesperium. Tofieldia intermedia. 68 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. KLICKITAT COUNTY. % A considerable number of species reach their northernmost exten- sion in Klickitat County or in adjacent Skamania County and are not otherwise known to occur in Washington. In some cases a long distance to the southward intervenes before the species again occurs. This local northern distribution is perhaps due to the association of Humid and Arid Transition conditions and a warm southern slope exposure, the resultant combination being highly peculiar. The species to which the above remarks apply are: Arnica eradiata, Juncus uncialis. Azolla caroliniana, Lepidium nitidum, Bromus orcuttianus. Melica fugaz. Ceanothus prostratus, Mimulus douglasii. Ceanothus thyrsiflorus. Nemophila sepulta. Collinsia rattani. . Orogenia linearifolia. Collinsia sparsiflora. Panicum hirticaulon, Cynoglossum grande. Piscaria setigera, Cypripedium fasciculatum. Plagiobothrys nothofulvus, Hpilobium ursinum. Polygonum austinae. Eriogonum nudum. Polygonum greenei. Bryngium petiolatum. Scribneria bolanderi. Festuca confusa. Tonella collinsioides. Garrya fremontii. Trifolium ciliolatum, Gilia bolanderi. Viburnum ellipticum. Gilia divaricata. Viola sheltoni. Hemicarpha occidentalis. Some of these species will perhaps be found in Washington outside of Klickitat County, but the flora is well enough explored to make it quite certain that this will be the case with but few of them. MOUNT STUART AND THE WENACHE MOUNTAINS. Mount Stuart, a tall granitic peak in Kittitas County, and the sur- rounding Wenache Mountains, have long been of peculiar interest botanically, owing to the considerable list of species which are there localized. This peculiar localization of species, several of them with- out close relatives, seems to be in a measure associated with the granitic character of the region. Recent investigations have shown that most of the species occur also to the northward, but that they are confined almost entirely to granitic soils of the crest of the Cascades. Among the species thus restricted are the following: Arabis whitedii. Delphinium xantholeucum. Cacaliopsis nardosmia glabrata. Douglasia dentata. Calamagrostis tieedyi. Erigeron leibergii. Calochortus lyallii. Leptotaenia watsoni. Castilleja elmeri. Lewisia tweedyi. Cynomarathrum brandegei. Pedicularis ornithorhyncha. Delphinium viridescens, Poa canbyi. PIPER—FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. 69 Rainier stricta. Solidago caurina. Rudbeckia alpicola. Sphaeralcea longisepala. Saxifraga apetala, Spiraee@ cinerascens. Senecio elmeri. Valeriana columbiana. This extremely restricted range of so considerable a number of species In a mountain chain which would seem to offer no barrier to their extension southward is perhaps due primarily to the fact that the greater portion of the Cascade system from Mount Rainier south- ward is volcanic. Indeed, the eruption of the igneous rocks not only may have brought about the isolation of the plants above mentioned, but, through their preference for granitic soils, may have kept them from spreading southward. This idea further obtains support in the fact that there are some striking similarities between the flora of the Mount Stuart region and that of the Klamath region in southwestern Oregon, which is also largely granitic in character. This is exemplified by a number of species which do not occur in’ the intermediate region. Among them are— Arabis suffrutescens. Hoorebekia greenei. Bikukulla uniflora. Kelloggia galioides. Campanula scabrella. ; Ledum glandulosum. Chaenactis nevadensis. To these should perhaps be added Cacaliopsis nardosmia glabrata and (. nardosmia, Luina hypoleuca, and L. hypoleuce californica. Facts to be adduced hereafter in connection with the make-up of the flora of the Blue Mountains emphasize still more the above conclusions. ; While a great portion of the plants of the Cascade and the Blue mountains are identical, there are nevertheless many species whose occurrence in the former mountains is so local that their recurrence in the latter furnishes some strikingly peculiar facts. As before stated, the central and southern portions of the Cascade system are composed of recent volcanic rocks, while the northern portion and the Siskiyou and other mountains of the Klamath region con- tiguous to the southern end of the Cascades are made up of older rocks, largely granite. This difference in geological structure seems to be directly associated with the distribution of certain plants here discussed. The facts of the distribution are, first, that there are species in common between the northern Cascades and the Klamath region which are absent in the intermediate portion of the Cascades; second, that certain species occur only in the Blues and the Klamath region or the northern Sierras; third, that others occur only in the northern Cascades and the Blues; and finally some species occur in all three regions, but not elsewhere. 70 SPECIES CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. ‘ SPECIES COMMON TO THE NORTHERN CASCADES AND THE BLUE MOUNTAINS.@ * Angelica canbyi.

No especial attempt has been made to determine what species are absent from the Blue Mountains which might be expected to occur there. It is especially striking, however, that all the forest trees of « Species marked with an asterisk are confined to the above regions. +’ Species marked with an asterisk are confined to these three regions. ¢ Species marked with an asterisk are confined to these two regions. PIPER—-FLORA OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. cL the adjoining Bitterroots reach the Blues excepting the higher alpine Larix lyallii and the giant cedar (Thuja plicata). The absence ‘of the last tree is the more marked as it is common throughout the Bitterroots, even on most of the outlying peaks. Some few other plants common in the Bitterroots are likewise absent from the Blues. Among them are Frasera fastigiata, Mitella stauropetala, Pentstemon pinetorum, Coptis occidentalis, and Asarune caudatum. 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 is ~ wholly made up of volcanic rocks. THE BLUE MOUNTAINS. The greater 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 9,000 feet). Surrounding this granjte center are lower mountains composed wholly of basalt. Such is the case with the portion which extends into Washington. Occupying as they.do a nearly central position in the Columbia Ba- sin, quite widely separated 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 those 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 species 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 origin is comparatively recent. - CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM.

The Rocky Mountain element consists of a considerable number of species, including some genera which otherwise do not occur in ashington or Oregon. Most of these are confined to the higher granitic peaks, very few 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 isolated on these remote peaks for a long period.

ZONAL DISTRIBUTION: Humid Transition to Hudsonian. A variable species not much different from the European spadiceum. Our common form has lax panicles and pale perianth segments and capsule, and is nearly the same as Luzula parviflora sparsiflora Lange. The form with dark capsules, Luzula parviflora melanocarpa (Desv.) Gray, does not seem to occur in our limits. 8. Juncoides piperi Coville, sp. nov. Densely tufted, from short horizontal usually matted rootstocks; stems erect, 10 to 35 em. high; leaves mostly basal, firm in texture, pale green and dull, erect or nearly so, linear-lanceolate, attenuate, 2 to 4 mm. broad, 15 to 17-nerved, about one-fourth as long as the stem, smooth and glabrous except for a few long hairs on the sheaths and margins, inclined to become revolute; cauline leaves two or rarely three; panicle 5 to 8 cm. long, dark brown, nodding; lowest bract foliaceous, usually 8 to 15 mm. long; bractlets brown, paler and hyaline toward the apex, lacerate; flowers solitary on the branches or sometimes in clusters of two or three; perianth segments dark brown, nearly equal, ovate, acuminate, about 1.5 mm. long; stamens half to two-thirds the length of the perianth, the anthers nearly equaling the filaments; style about .2 to .3 mm., stigmas 2 to 3 mm. in length; capsule dark brown, exceeding the perianth, its valves broadly ovate, broadly acute, indis- tinctly or not at all apiculate; seeds of a light brown to buff or amber color, about 1.2 mm. - in length, lanceolate-oblong in outline, narrowed to each end, distinctly keeled on the inner side, the cellular reticulations faint. Type specimen United States National Herbarium no. 352425, collected in September, 1897, by A. D.-E. Elmer (no. 678) in the Cascade Mountains of Okanogan County, Wash- ington, on the north fork of Bridge Creek, growing ‘*on dry sand-gravelly moraines just below the glaciers at 6,000 feet altitude.” This species differs from Juncoides parviflorum in its more densely tufted habit, smaller size, and more lacerate bractlets, thicker, never shining leaves, the lack of a distinct apicu- _lation on the capsule valves, and the light-colored pointed seeds. In parviflorum the seeds are dark brown, narrowly oblong in outline, and blunt at the ends. Our species bears a superficial resemblance to the European spadiceum, but is readily distinguishable by its 186 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. broader leaves and by its seed and capsule characters, which in spadiceum are the same as described above for parviflorum. Juncoides piperi occurs on high peaks in the Cascade Mountains from northern Washing- ton to southern Oregon, in the Olympic Mountains, and in the Coeur d’Alene Mountains of northern Idaho (Leiberg 1355), and appears to be associated with soils so porous as to be sabject to great dryness in late summer. It is named for Professor C. V. Piper, who first pointed out its characters.

ZONAL DISTRIBUTION: Hudsonian. A specimen of £. ciliatus from the Wenache Mounta:ns, the type local'ty for each sup- posed species, was sent to Mr. J. G. Baker, who reports that it “is not exactly the same”’ as the type of C. lyallii, “as it differs in the relat:ve length of anther to filament.” A fairly large series of specimens convinces me that two species can not be maintained as distinct on such a basis. 8. Calochortus subalpinus sp. nov. Bulbs ovate, 2 to 3 cm. long, the outer coats dark; stems flexuous, erect, 15 to 20 cm. . high, usually exceeded by the solitary leaf, 1 to 3-flowered; leaf linear-lanceolate, acumi- nate, 3 to 8 mm. wide, paler beneath; bracts lanceolate, long-acuminate, 2 to 3 cm. long; sepals lance-ovate, acuminate, somewhat scarious on the marg:ns, 1.5 to 2.5 em. long, 6 to 9-nerved, the base strongly arched forming a shallow pit inside, this marked by a purple spot; petals cream-colored, purplish at base, obovate or rhombic-orbicular, 2 to 3 cm. long, slightly erose at margin, sparsely villous over the upper face above the striate minutely puberulent gland excepting a narrow port:on near the apex; scale narrow, entire, extending in a gentle curve nearly across the petal and covered with long, retrorse hairs; filaments broadly wing-margined, equalling the long-beaked anthers; capsules nodding, narrowly elliptic, rather acutish at each end, 2 to 3 em. long, beaued by a style 1 to 2 mm. long. A subalpine species closely allied to C. purdyi Eastwood, which differs in having thinner sepals lacking the pit at the base, more villous petals w:thout the naked apical area, less villous scales which are very strongly arched, a much thinner perfectly smooth gland, and merely acuminate, not beaked, anthers.

This species was included in C. elegans nanus Wood by its author, but the type of that came from near Yreka, California, and is quite different from. this subalpine or alpine northern species.

ZONAL DISTRIBUTION: Transition. This species as here accepted is quite variable, but none of the forms seems susceptible of segregation. The western Washington forms are more nearly typical, having the glands of the perianth very distinctly limited. The poisonous qualities of the bulb of this plant are certainly much exaggerated, if indeed there is any real basis in fact for its reputed - virulence. The Washington specimens referred by Hooker @ to Leimanthium nuttallii and by Cooper 6 to Anticlea nuttallii and A. douglasii are with little doubt Zygadenus venenosus. CONVALLARIACEAE.

A Richardson specimen in the Gray Herbarium perhaps of the type collection is unquestionably P. trachycarpum Wats. We have, therefore, no hesitancy in giving the synonymy as above. STREPTOPUS.

Loosely tufted, 40 to 50 cm. high, the herbage discolored in drying; stems smooth, erect, winged, the principal ones branched above, 1 to 2 mm. broad; leaves firm, erect, rather few, about half the height of the stem, 2 to 3 mm. broad, acute; cauline leaf when present 8 to 10 mm. long, the two peduncles usually exceeding it; bracts of the spathe subequal, lanceolate, purplish, the inner 2 to 2.5 em. long, always shorter than the pedicels, the outer often of the same length, sometimes a half longer, both hyaline-margined and attenuate-acute; flowers 2 to 5 on slender, erect pedicels; perianth dark blue with a yellow eye, its segments 12 to 15 mm. long; stamineal column 5 to 6 mm. long; ovaries glandular- puberulent; capsules globose, 4 to 5 mm. broad; seeds black, foveolate, 1 mm. long, the angles irregularly winged. Collected in swamps near Vancouver, June 5, 1905, no. 4926, the type in the National Herbarium. The species is closely allied to S. idahoense Bicknell, but its frequently branched stems scarcely permit its association therewith. Typical S. idahoense occurred, however, in drier ground near by and it is possible that 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, but 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.

ZONAL DISTRIBUTION: Transition. Professor Greene considers the Washington-British Columbia form as a different 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 chrysophylla (Dougl.) A. DC. in Seem.

DISTRIBUTION: Upper Sonoran. 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 becoming thinner, darker green, and much less rough. The Wilkes Expedition specimens are said to have been collected at Port Discovery, but this is probably an error. URTICACEAE. Nerrrie FaAmIty.

ZONAL DISTRIBUTION: Transition. Washington specimens referred to U. gracilis Ait. belong here, as does the specimen listed by Suksdorf as “U. breweri(?).’’ Specimens from the immediate seacoast tend to have thicker, more deeply cordate leaves, but this character is apparently due to mari- time influences and is not sufficient to distinguish the plant.

ZONAL pistriBuTION: Arid Transition. Common on Pinus ponderosa, often forming large clusters. The staminate plants are yellow, the pistillate olivaceous. It is locally more or less well known as “snappers,” owing to the explosive fruits. 3. Razoumofskya douglasii (Engelm.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. PI. 2: 587. 1891. Arceuthobium douglasii Engelm. in Rothr.

Doubtless it will be found in Washington also, The forms on Tsuga, Larix, and Abies are apparently distinct, at least in their host relations, but satisfactory morphological characters to separate them have not been detected.

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, while 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 fons to S. cherlerioides D. Don, with which, however, it is not identical. Small recognizes Saxifraga austromontana Wiegand as valid (Leptasea austromontana Small, loc. cit.) and describes the second form mentioned above as Leptasea vespertina. Saxifraga bronchialis L. as generally accepted is a polymorphic species and the above are, as we believe, mere subspecies at best. Intergrading forms occur. They may be desig- nated, however, Saxifraga bronchialis: austromontana and S. bronchialis vespertina. The type of the latter is Lamb’s 1312. 3. Saxifraga cespitosa L. Sp. Pl. 1: 404. 1753.

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 lava Koch. The former is scarcely matched in European material. This has recently been proposed as a new species by Small 6 under the name Muscaria emarginata, the type being Elmer’s 2649. This plant is, however, much nearer to true S. eee than the thin-leaved form. Both are mere sub- species in our judgment. 4. Saxifraga adscendens L. Sp. Pl. 1: 405. 1753.

ZONAL DISTRIBUTION: Canadian. Small@ considers that two species have been confused under the above, which he dis- tinguishes as Heterisia mertensiana and H. eastwoodiae, the former with bulblets 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 em. 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, obtuse, 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 with an asterisk agree with the type of S. occidentalis in having clavate 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 8. refleca Hook. Besides the above specimens a few others have been examined, evidently closely allied to S. marshallii, but which we hesitate to refer there, namely: Wenache Mountains, Whited 1040; Admiralty Head, Oscar Piper; Blue Mountains, Piper, July, 1896. The whole group is in need of critical revision.@ aJn the recent treatment of Saxifraga by 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: PURMONLS SUDUIAIO oii K vies corse eee ez cic Seeks eas vere ee PU Small. Filaments clavate or spatulate.

It is possible, also, that this is Leontodon hirsutum Hook.a (Agoseris hirsuta Greene), the type of which is said to have been collected by Douglas and by Scou- ler on “Menzies Island and sandy banks of the Columbia,” and which is referred by A. Gray ¢ to Trorimon humile. We have seen no specimens of Troximon humile A. Gray (Macrorhynchus humilis Benth.) from Washington, and doubt its occurrence. 7. Agoseris retrorsa (Benth.)

B 272). The type is in the National Herbarium. This differs from any other American species in the small size of the fruit and the relatively few prickles. 4, Xanthium affine Greene, Pittonia 4: 60. 1899.

Leaves becoming progressively less deeply lobed upward, those of the upper third of the plant mostiy entire, these ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, acute, narrowed abruptly to a subsessile base, 3-nerved. On the gravelly banks of Almota Creek at Almota, Piper, August 26, 1894 (no. 1837). At this place it seems unquestionably to be native. The entire or subentire upper leaves present a peculiar characteristic which does not seem to be approached in any eastern specimens. The plant may represent a distinct species, but in the absence of more abun- dant material it seems best to treat it as above.
