ARCTIC FLORA FOUND
ON WESTERN PEAKS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. (IP)—
Arctic grasses which mysteriously
found their way to mountain peaks
of the Western States are among
the specimens brought back to the
Smithsonian institution for the na
tional herbarium by Prof. A. S.
Hitchcock, of the Department of
/
Agriculture, it was announced yes
terday. Some of the specimens were
collected on peaks of Mount Massive
and Mount Elbert in Colorado, and
the only explanation which could be
advanced for such growth is that
they were carried from the north
ern region by glaciers.
Prof. Hitchcock was sent out by I
the Federal department to study the I
distribution of grasses.
