Hab. Canada. Pursh. Woodfield, near Quebec. Mrs, Percival. Saskatchawan. Dr, Richardsori. Drum- 

 mond. — I have seen no Canadian specimens of this plant. It is frequent in the United States. 



3. iS*. atriplicifoUus ; caule elato, foliis petiolatis glabris subtus glaucis angiilato-dentatis, 

 radicalibus cordatis, caulinis rhombeis, floribus corymbosis erectis, involucris quinquefloris.

 formis. Willd, 



Hab. Canada. Mr. Ckghom, — My variety /3. quite agrees with the Cacalia reniformis of Willdenow, except 

 that the involucres are not many-flowered; and the two plants are evidently near allies, if indeed they be 

 really distinct. Mr. Nuttall observes that in both there is a single chaffy scale in the centre of the recep- 

 tacle. It is not so in my specimens. 



4. 5. pauciflorus; foliis radicalibus longe petiolatis ovato-subrotundis subcordatis den- 

 tatis, caulinis 2 remotis pinnatifidis dentaiis, pedunculis brevibus subternis umbellatis.

Hab. Labrador. KoJdmeister. Pursh. Woody country between lat. 54° and 64°. Dr. Richardson. — 

 May not Pursh have quoted as a synonym, " S. tussilaginoides^ Walt. FL Carol 208," a native of Carolina? 

 I have seen no authentic specimen of the S. pauciflorus of Pursh; but amongst what I consider as a rayless 

 state of S. aureuSj I find small plants exactly agreeing with the above description.

Hab. Woody country, from lat. 54° to 64°. Dr. Richardson. Woods and river banks on the Rocky 

 Mountains. Drummond. &. Fort Vancouver, and on the outskirts of woods near streams, North-West 

 Coast. Douglas. — This plant varies from G-8 inches to 2 feet high. Flowers quite corymbose. The var. /3. 

 has broader leaves, and is larger in all its parts.

Hab. First detected at Bloody Fall, where the Esquimaux were destroyed by the Northern Indians who 

 accompanied Hearue, whence the specific name is derived. Also from Fort Franklin to the sea-coastT Dr. 

 Richardson, West side of the Rocky Mountains, and on the Blue Mountains. Douglas. Kotzebue's Sound. 

 Lay and Co//i>.— This appears to be a very northern species, of which an excellent description is given in 

 the place above quoted.
