274 Rhodora [NOVEMBER 
capsule elliptic-oblong, ciliate and obcordate at the summit.— Grassy 
and sedgy places on Mt. Desert Island, Maine, and the smaller 
islands adjacent, as follows: Great Cranberry Isle, 17 July, 1897, 
Æ. L. Rand (types, in hb. Gray and hb. E. L. Rand), 17 July, 1896, 
E. L. Rand, 20 July, 1899, Æ. L. Rand & E. F. Williams ; Mt. 
Desert Isl., on the “Sea Wall,” 26 July, 1892, K. L. Rand; Baker 
Isl., 22 July, 1899, 22 July, 1901, FL. Z. Rand; Great Duck Isl, 12 
July, 1901, Æ. Z. Rand; near seashore, Cutler, Maine, 13 July, 19or, 
G. G. Kennedy. 
This species differs from Æ. Oakesii in its greater stature, tendency 
to branch, broader and straightish calyx-teeth, apparently deeper 
colored corolla, and especially in the open spicate raceme, which 
begins from the second or third node and is much elongated even 
during anthesis. In Z. Oakesii on the contrary the inflorescence 
remains capitate even to ripe fruit. Æ. Randi differs from Æ. Wil- 
liamsii similarly in inflorescence and also in its much more copious 
pubescence. It appears to stand close to Æ. micrantha, Brenn. of 
Lapland, which, however, is said to have a glabrate calyx and white 
corolla with dark veins. 
Var. (?) Farlowii. Leaves smaller, 2 to 4 mm. long, thicker, 
only 5-7-toothed : pubescence coarser and more spreading. — Dog 
Island, Eastport, Maine, September, 1877, W. G. Farlow. This is 
a puzzling form which more copious material may show to be a dis- 
tinct species. 
* * * Flowers larger: corolla dorsally 5 to 7mm. long, white with bluish 
purple or violet veins and yellow eye. 
* Leaves conspicuously pubescent, glandular hairs being often inter- 
spersed with the non-glandular; teeth obtuse to acute (in the upper and 
floral), not at all aristate or scarcely so.

var. ¢afarica, Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 552, in part. — Dwarf or rarely 
tall, 4 to 12 (or more) cm. high: foliar leaves 2 to 4 pairs, broadly 
ovate, obtuse and with 2 to 5 bluntish teeth on each side, pubescent 
with (for the genus) rather long although often sparse non-glandular 
hairs; floral leaves larger, more deeply and sharply toothed but not 
. aristate, commonly glandular as well as covered by a rather copious 
non-glandular pubescence, not plicate even in dried specimens: 
flowers closely aggregated at the ends of the stem, but the inflores- 
cence at length becoming lax below.— Northern Maine, upper St. 
John valley, G. Z. Goodale. Labrador, Hopedale, Bowdoin Coll.
