1. Antennaria stenolepis Greene in Ottawa Nat, XVII (1904), p. 201. 

 Stems of pistillate plant slender, a foot high or more: basal leaves 



small for the plant, about 1 inch long, narrowly cuneate-obovate or 

 -oblanceolate, acutish, scarcely mucronate, appressed-silky on both faces, 

 most densely so beneath, the indument of the upper face less permanent, 

 commonly lying in rolls in the old age of the leaf; cauline leaves linear 

 and oblong-linear, very acute, erect, an inch long and just equalling the 

 internodes: heads about 8 or 10, large, turbinate, long-pedicelled, forming 

 a very lax cyme; pedicels woolly but not in the least glandular or viscid; 

 base of involucre only very scantily woolly, the narrowly linear bracts 

 only slightly scarious- tipped but the tips acute.

This has the habit of the rather rare Oregonian A. pedicdlata, but as 

 to characters of involucre it is very different. The pedicels also, in A, 

 pediceUata, are glandular and very viscid, of which peculiarity there is 

 not the faintest trace in the Chilliwack plant. 



2. Antennaria callilepis Greene, 1. c, p. 202. 



Of nearly the size, and quite the slenderness of the last, the basal 

 leaves larger by one-third and tapering to almost a petiole, green and 

 nearly glabrous above, this face quite glabrous in age; cauline leaves 

 spreading: cyme of 8 to 12 heads rather compact, the short slender 

 pedicels less woolly, greenish and viscid: heads subcampanulate, much 

 imbricated, the outermost bracts oval, the next longer but very obtuse, 

 only the inner lance-linear, not even these very distinctly searious- 

 tipped, nor even the outermost notably woolly, all of a satiny light- 

 greenish hue. 



British Columbia: Chilliwack Valley, at 3500 ft., 8 Aug. 1901, 

 by Mr. Macoun, no. 26186. 



Remarkable for the greenish and glossy involucres, more like those 

 of certain Gnaphaliums than of any other Antennaria. 



3. Antennaria acuminata Greene, 1. c, p. 202. 



Obviously suffrutescent, but the ascending woody and naked basal 

 branches slender and not rigid; flowering branches 9 to 12 inches high 

 and slender; stolons also slender, long and sparsely leafy, their leaves 

 about l J / 4 to l 1 ^ inches long, narrowly spatulate, very acute, thinnish, 

 finely but not very densely appressed-silky on both faces; cauline leaves 

 an inch long, erect or ascending, broad at the sessile base, but slenderly 

 acuminate, the almost caudate tips twisted: cymes rather compact, of 6 

 to 12 heads; involucres greenish and lightly woolly at base, the outer 

 and hardly scarious-tipped bracts oblong, obtuse, the next series more
