123. Artemisia Chamissoniana, Bess, in Hook. Fl. Bor. Amer. vol. i. p. 324. — A. arctica, Torr. 
et Gray, Fl. of N. Amer. vol. ii. p. 423. n. %7, ex parte. Cape Lisburnc. 
The latter two species, though united by Torrej* and Gray, I cannot but regard as distinct. They may 
at once be distinguished by their habit. A. arctica forms dense c^espitose masseSj has leaves of a lively green 
colour, and sends up isolated, almost leafless scapes. A, Chamissoniana partakes more of the Habit of 
A. vulgaris. Few of the stems are sterile, nearly all shoot up and produce flowers ; the foliage is of a dull 
green colour, and the flowering stem is clothed with many leaves, and cannot be called a scape, being unlike 
that of A. arctica, A. glomerata, A. androsacea, etc. 
124. Artemisia glomerata, Ledeb.^ Hook. Fl. Bor. Amer. vol. i. p. 324. — Torr. ct Gray, Fl. of 
N. Amer. vol. ii. p. 423. Cape Lisburne. 
The spoeimens gathered at Cape Lisburne agree ia every respect with the Asiatic ones distributed by 
Ledebour, and show that A. glomerata is closely allied to, though quite distinct from, A. ghhularia, Cham. 
125. Artemisia (§ Abrotanum) androsacea, Seem. (Plate VI.) ; suffruticosa ctespitosa dense 
flavo sericco-^^llosissimaJ foliis csespitum rosulatis oblongis trifidis, caulinis 3-5-fidis, lobis obtusis, 
bractcis trifidis vcl intcgerrimis, capitulis corymboso-capitatis globosis, involucri squamis obovato- 
oblongis obtusis raargine dentatis sphacellatis, corolla glaberrima. — A. glomerata, Hook, et Arn., Bot. 
Bccoh. p. 125. (won Ledeb.). Kotzcbuc Sound {Beec/iey). 
A low cKspitose plant, forming dense tufts, and resembling some of the silky Androsaces. The specimen 
(the only one that exists in Sir "William Hooker's Herbarium) from which the description is taken is about 
four inches high. The radical leaves are a quarter of an inch, the cauliue ones about half an inch long. The 
scales of the involucre are toothed, and, like those of most of the allied species, bro-wn on the edge. The 
corolla is of a pale yellow colour. The fruit is not far enough advanced to admit of any remark. The authors 
of * Beechey's Botany,' when publishing the name quoted above, entertained some doubts whether the speci- 
men then before them could belong to the true A. glomerata, Ledeb., and remarked that the tufts were look- 
ing more like some silky Androsace than anything of the Order Composites. AVith a complete set of authentic 
specimens I had no difEculty in settling the doubt, and confidently describe the plant as a new species, distinct 
from all other Artemisice by the long silky hair, which ia so dense tbat great difficidty is experienced in making 
a fit drawing. The outline will eitlier turn out too cleai-,aud give an unnatural aspect to the plant, or, if the 
hair is represented as it ought to be, the figure becomes unintelligible. It is to be hoped, however, tbat the 
representation given will answer everj- botanical purpose.
