(1854-1856), acc. to Wettst. Monog. 175, t. 4, f. 278—290, t. 8, f. 4-7. 
— Very similar to the preceding but less arctic in habitat and less 
dwarfed in habit, 5 to 18 cm. high, often branched: stem-leaves 
ovate-oblong, cuneate, obtusely toothed; bracts ovate, very sharply 
or acuminately 5-8-toothed on each side, narrower and less imbri- 
cated than in the preceding, strongly pubescent and glandular: calyx, 
corolla, and capsule much as in the preceding. — North shore of

While Wettstein credits tis species to America doubtfully and 
only upon the basis of some mixed material in the herbarium of the 
Royal Gardens at Berlin, there can be little doubt of the entire 
correctness of his view for the specimens above cited agree well not 
only with descriptions and figures of Æ. Ar/e//a but also with Old 
World specimens of it. 
On page 191 of his monograph Wettstein cites Æ. Rostkoviana, 
Hayne, as examined from Quebec (Canby), but as this occurrence 
is not mentioned in his later list of American species (Bot. Gaz. xxii. 
401), it is probable that it rested upon a determination which was 
doubted or latered in the interim. The writer has seen no plant 
from any part of America which combined the large corolla and 
copious pubescence which are together characteristic of Æ. Rost- 
Roviana. 
++ Leaves glabrous or bearing only some very minute hairs at the margin 
and on the veins beneath, the floral bracts often minutely glandular-puberulent. 
E. AMERICANA, Wettst. Monog. 127 (1896) ; Bot. Gaz. xxii. 401. — 
Rather tall, considerably branched above, the stem covered with fine 
short crisped reflexed white hairs, the branches elongating into 
rather loose spicate-racemose inflorescences: lower and middle leaves 
ovate or ovate-oblong, not strongly plicate, 3—5-toothed on each side, 
the upper teeth obtuse, the lower acute, becoming in the upper and 
floral leaves very sharp and decidedly aristate at the tip; more or 
less fine glandular puberulence often present: corolla 5 to 6 mm. long 
dorsally. — QUEBEC, Candy, acc. to Wettstein: Nova Scotia, Cape
