Immature pistillate plants were collected long ago by Fend- 

 ler in 1847. These as in U. S. Herb, under his In, 52*^ were by 

 me too inadvertently cited as forming a part of my ^. mar- 

 ginata. The description is here drawn from excellent speci- 

 mens collected by Mr, and Mrs. Heller near or at what must 

 have been the original station of Fendler, near Santa Fe, New 

 Mexico, 29 May, 1897. Heller's number, as in U. S. Herb., 

 is 3612, but on the sheet are but two specimens of ^. Fe7idleri, 

 the third being a good example of the very different ^. Holmii, 

 Greene, which we know only from Colorado. 



Antennaria peramoena. Main stems unusually rigid 

 and suffruticose, several arising from a perpendicular and 

 stout central root, all prostrate and apparently rooting at all 

 points; stolon-like new branches not striking root the first year, 

 3 to 5 inches long, closely leafy and equally so throughout, no 

 rosette being formed at the end : leaves % \.o Y^ inch long, 

 somewhat abruptly spatulate-contracted above the middle, the 

 not well defined obovate apical and laminar part obtuse or 

 abruptly and minutely mucronate-acute, texture unusually 

 thin, upper face vivid-green, puncticulate, sometimes scabrou- 

 lously so, surrounded everywhere by a narrow marginal line 

 of the dense white pannose tomentum investing the lower face : 

 pistillate plant unknown : inflorescence of the staminate on 

 slender scapes only 2 or 3 inches high, very compact, of about 

 5 heads all sessile, the involucres not strongly lanate, the few 

 bracts with broad and short very obtuse white tips : pappus- 

 bristles, at least the outermost, with strongly flattened and 

 irregulary incised lanceolate acute tips. 



An uncommonly beautiful species of matted habit and long 

 closely leafy branches, known only as collected by E. O. 

 Wooton, at Wheeler's Ranch, New Mexico, 11 July, 1906. 



This concludes the series of species with white-margined 

 foliage.

 but not compact mats, the stolons loosely leafy throughout,
