 globosa multo majoribus limbo maximo dilatato foliaceo grosse dentato. Ph. Am. 2. p. 

 634.-/3. amentorum (utriusque sexus) squamis densissime sericeo-villosis. 



Hab. Canada /3. N. W. Coast. Menzies. Douglas. 5coM/er.— Readily distinguished by the remarkably 



large leafy limb to the involucre of the fruit. Of the var. /J. I have seen no fruit. It may probably con- 

 stitute a new species. 



2. C.rostrata (Ait.); foliis cordato-ovalibus acuniinatis, involucris inferne sericeo- 

 hispidis nuce globosa multo majoribus in tubum longissimum angustum apice incisum

Hab. N. W. Coast. Menzies, Swamps of Puget Sound. Douglas.— I do not think this differs as a 

 species from Jif. Xalappensis. Our specimens of what we consider that plant, gathered in Mexico, are quite 

 the same as Chamisso's, so that this species has a very extensive range.
