Kuttels rougheteii. iXIv of the most uiuittnictive of plant faiiiilics, if wc take it as a wliole, is that of the Horages. Coarse, hristly plants they are, for tlio most part. The fruit is usually eove'-ed with hooked prickles that catch ill the hair of animals, whether worn by the original owner or a successor. Ivven the dear little Forfjel-me-not would be an unattractive enough plant, 'S wc saw only stem and leaves. It is the tiny blue blossom that looks up at us like the trusting face of a child, to wliicli the Forgef-me-not is indebted for admiration. These rough Horages are wide-spread on the western prairies, where they lind the conditions favoral)le to the peculiar dispersion for which they are adapted. Soniiea Kingii, Ix-tter known by its oUL'r name, Kritrichiuin, is a native of the Pacific Coast and of western Nevada. It is a low plant with thickened roots and rather dense clusters of suiall white flowers. It is interesting that the Sonnea, like .so many western plants, is wx'U |)rovided with hairs, doubtless as a protection against the excessive droughts which often afflict BFAR-BFRRY.
