and R. ellipticum foliis basi cordatis.

At 11,500 feet, Vaccinium, foliis ovatis spinuloso-dentatis, atratus

Towards the Pass, the face of the mountain became more and more rugged,
the vegetation more scanty, consisting of nothing but Rhododendrons.

At 12,000 feet, Eriogonum minus, Polygonum, Rheum, Rhodod. microphyllum
and ellipticum foliis basi cordatis.

About the Pass, Trichostomum, _Xyris_, Abies densa, one small plant,
Rosa, Eriogonum minus, Rhododendron microphyllum and ellipticum foliis
basi cordatis.

On the more level ridge between this Pass and the summit, Rhododendrons

majus, woods of Abies densa occurred a little below the path, Gentiana

and can be recognized even at great distances by its black columnar palm-
like appearance.

At 11,000 feet, Acer sterculiacea, Rosa microphylla, Ribes, which ceases
below 10,000 feet, it is confined to the A. densa woods.

At 10,500 feet, Saxifraga, two species on moist banks, A. densa woods,
