on the eastern slope or verge of the arid Rocky Mountain plains; and 
the plant shows the influence of its environment in a foliage that is of 
but half the size of that of eastern A. neglecta, all the herbage quite 
hoary with the fine close tomentum which is far from being deciduous 
altogether from the upper face of the foliage. The basal and herbaceous 
part of the involucral scales is very dark in comparison with the same 
in even the more properly midland and prairie phase of A. neglecta, 
The male plant though unknown, is probably no rarity; but the loca- 
lity for the species is remote from all centers of botanical field work. 
992. Antennaria parvula Greene, l. c., p. 81. — Planta pumila, caule 
1—3-unciali. Folia semiuncialia, saepissime ovalia, interdum suborbi- 
cularia, utrinque incano-tomentosa. Capitula pro planta magna, pauca, 
subsessilia. Pappi setae maris apice vix incrassatae, scabro-serrulatae. 
— Black Hills, South Dakota, near Fort Meade, collected by Dr. W. H. 
Forwood in 1887; seven specimens on U. S. Her. sheet 317207, three 
of them fertile, the rest sterile. Also by the same collector, and mounted 
on sheet 317750, fine specimens of A. parvula and two of the plants 
with leaves green and glabrous above, to which it seems best to have 
the name A. campestris. — The distinctions between the two are not 
merely those of the permanency of the indument. This is not even 
tardiiy deciduous from the upper half face in A. parvula, while as 
already affirmed, in the other it does not at all exist at any stage of 
the halfs development; but the leaves in A. parvula are so short as to 
appear almost orbicular now and then; and while the pappus in its 
male is almost filiform at tip, and mostly barbellate, that in A. campestris 
— not mentioned in the original description — is very obviously thickened 
as well as quite smooth, or at best faintly crenulate. 
993. Antennaria Lunellii Greene, l. c., p. 81. — Planta pumila, caule 
vix biunciali, stolonibus elongatis crebre foliosis. Folia latiuscula, semi- 
uncialia et ultra, interdum fere uncialia, spathulato-obovata, superne 
leviter sericeo-tomentosa, indumento vix, vel tardissime deciduo. Capi- 
tula pauca, magna, sessilia. Pappus maris apice levissime incrassatus 
barbellatus, — Collected at Leeds, North Dakota, 7 May, 1902, by 
Dr. J. Lunell, and by him distributed for 4. campestris. From both that 
and A. parvula this differs very materially in a number of particulars. 
At its flowering time it has beautifully leafy stolons as long as the 
stems are high. The character of the indument is entirely different 
from that of either, and so also is the form of foliage. — Having here 
transcended my proper limits and taken up this one species EE 
to the region north of the headwaters of the Mississippi, and which is 
more properly a part of the vast system of steppes of the Soir 
Northwest, I might be expected to go further and take into this census 
other antennarias of North Dakota; but I shall leave the summing up 
of those to the resident botanist, Dr. Lunell, in hope that, with the 
handsome little A. Lunellii, added to the list, he will soon give us the
