 lanuginosa; racemis dense lanuginosis, floribus duplo majoribus, foliis superioribus lat- 

 ioribus. 



Besides the true A. borealis, we have the variety just noticed, which has a stouter habit, much broader 

 cauline leaves, and a dense woolly raceme (peduncle, pedicels, and involucres); the tomentum of a yellowish 

 hue, and flowers more than twice as large — as large indeed as those of A. arctica, from which it differs remark- 

 ably in its foliage and tomentum. It will probably, on a future examination and comparison with other 

 species, prove to be distinct. 



2. Artemisia arctica; erecta glabra vel hirsuta, foliis bipinnatifidis laciniis (rachique) 

 linearibus acutis ultimis brevibus, superioribus pinnatifidis, racemo elongato, pedicellis 

 elongatis bractea lineari integra longioribus, floribus majusculis nutantibus secundis, recep- 

 taculo nudo. — Lessing, in Linnaa, v. 6. p. 213. 



This is assuredly subject to much variation, and is nearly allied to A. Norvegica, which has the flowers 

 of the present species, with the leaves of A. borealis. Of this, our tallest specimens (one foot high) are 

 glabrous, with the segments of the leaves very sharply acuminated ; the pedicels an inch long. A second 

 state of the plant is very downy, almost woolly : it has stouter stems', less divided leaves, and pedicels two 

 inches long. A third is only four or five inches tall, with the pedicels so long, especially the lower ones, 

 (3-4 inches), that they form a corymbus. 



3. Artemisia glomerata ; densissime csespitosa ubique sericeo-villosissima, ramis brevibus 

 arete foliatis, foliis brevibus 3-5-fido-palmatis laciniis lanceolatis brevi-acuminatis inferiori- 

 bus sessilibus caulinis late petiolatis, floribus capitatis, receptaculo nudo. — Lessing, in 

 Linncea, v. 6. p. 212. 



We can hardly think but that this is the A. glomerata of Lessing, although the leaves of his plant are
