Note 145 — {188} CHAPTER IX {VII}
Reading edition
Among many plants collected in this excursion, some of them new to us, we recognized an old acquaintance in the bearberry (Arbutus uva-ursi, L.) an inhabitant of the mountainous districts of New York and New England; also the Dodecatheon integrifolium, Ph.; and a beautiful little plant referable to the genus Mentzelia of Plumier. On the higher parts of the mountain an oak is common, approaching in character to the Quercus banisteri, Mx. Also a small undescribed acer, the Juniperus communis and I. virginiana; in the ravines, the Rhus toxicodendron, Spiræa opulifolia, olc; and at the base of the mountains the Prenanthes runcinata, leaves runcinate pinnatifid, ⅔ inches long, five lines wide. Resembles P. Juncea, Saxifraga nivales, L. A. cerastium, olc.—James.
