Some rare Washington Plants.-II. BY K. M. WIEGAND.

In the July 1897, number of this journal the writer published a short list of rare plants collected by Mr. J. B. Fleet in various por- tions of the state of Washington. Since that time a large set of about two hundred numbers collected by the same person has been received. The collecting ground this time covered two distinct localities. The first, situated on the shores of Puget Sound, in the vicinity of Whidbey Island and Hadlock, Wash., was distinctly littoral in character. On the contrary, the other was alpine, lo- cated as it was near the summit of the Olympic Mountains, on the watershed between the Dungeness and Quilcene Rivers. As one might naturally expect, the rare plants in the Sound collection were few and mostly introduced. On the other hand and quite in contrast with this, the set from the mountains was unusually ricl in forms that from their known distribution seem out of place. Those which from the literature at hand, seem to be rare or to extend the known range of the species are included in the follow- ing list.

AnemHone mltifida Poir. Grassy slopes near the summit of the Olympic Mountains. Alt. 6ooo ft.

Delphiiuiil1m glaucum Watson. Moist grassy places near the summit.

Delphinium bicolor Nutt. Dry grassy slopes near the summit. Draba Levui?noni Watson. Rocky places near the summit. Draba stenoloba Ledeb. Amnong stones and rocks, mountain
