grounds. Mr. Menzies found it on the North -West coast of America; Chamisso detected it in Unalaschka; 

 and Messrs. Lay and Collie in Kotzebue's Sound. Dr. Richardson describes the scape and bracteas as reddish, 

 and the sepals as marked with a red line down the back, or wholly dull red; whence the specific name. 

 That Author, too, well observes, " Herba elegantia T. borealis tota carens." The leaves are more flaccid, and 

 of a duller colour, and the flowers are almost entirely sessile ; thus bringing the in volucrum close to the 

 flower, which, in T. borealis, is separated by the length of the pedicel.
