Hab. Labrador? Kohlmeister ; ( Surely this must be ^S. mu/^/rat/m^a.) Woody country between lat. 

 54° and 64''. Dr, Richardson. Saskatchawan. Drummond. — Our specimens are mostly glabrous, and are 

 nearly a foot high, agreeing with our British yar. called Cambrica. The same is found by Mr. Greene near 

 the summit of Mount Washington, on the White Mountains, U. S. 



24. S. multiradiata ; caule villosiusculo, foliis sessilibus lanceolatis glabris ciliatis, inferi- 

 oribus apice serratis, racemo terminali erecto (dense covywboso) ligulis elongatis numer- 

 osis. Ait. Hort. Kew. ed. I. v, 3. p. 218. Pursh, FL^Am, v, 2. p, 542. — S. Virgaurea. Ph, ? 



Hab. Labrador. (Herb, Banks.) Kohlmeister, Dr. Morrison. Bay of Eschscholtz. Chamisso. Prairies 

 of the Rocky Mountains. Drummond. Mackenzie River and Bear Lake. Dr. Richardson. — Most of my 

 specimens of this plant have the terminal raceme forming a broad dense corymb or head; in which particular 

 almost alone does it differ from S. Virgaurea; and the Rocky Mountain specimens appear almost intermedi- 

 ate. Chamisso's S. Virgaurea^ in my Herbarium, from Kotzebue's Sound, is the same as our S. multiradi- 

 atOy and I fear the two can hardly be considered more than varieties, 



25. 5. humilis; gracilis, caule erecto simplici glabro, foliis lanceolatis glabris inferioribus 

 longe petiolatis serratis superioribus linearibus integerriniis, racemo elongato terminali 

 solitario erecto. — Herb. Banks. MSS. Pursk, Fl. Am. v. 2. p. 543. Pick, in FrankL \st 

 Journ. ed. 2. App* p. 33. 



Hab, Woody country between lat. 5i°. and 64'>. Dr. Richardson. — This, although the true plant of 

 the Banksian Herbarium, I am inclined to consider only an elongated and slender variety of S. Virgaurea; 

 the very opposite extreme, in the same species, of S. multiradiata. 



26. S. elata; caule pilose tereti, foliis lanceolatis subtus pilosiusculis, racemis erectis, 

 liffulis elongatis. Herb. Banks. MSS.—PursIi, Fl. Am. v. 2. p. 543. 



Hab. North-west coast of America. Mr. Menzies.—l regret that my specimen, which is a very indiffer- 

 ent one, will not allow me to offer any additional character to what I find in Pursh. 



27. S. rigida; caule foliisque ovato-oblongis pilosis scabris, caulinis integerrimis, in- 

 fimis serratis, ramis floriferis paniculatis, racemis compactis, ligulis elongatis. Ait. Hort.
