SOME BOREAL SPECIES AND VARIETIES OF ANTENNARIA 
AND ANAPHALIS. 
M. L. FERNALD and K. M. WIEGAND. 
THe GENUS ANTENNARIA IN NEWFOUNDLAND. 
Two species of Antennaria, A. canadensis Greene and A. neodioica 
Greene, have heretofore been known to extend northeastward to 
Newfoundland, but during the past summer our explorations brought 
to light several others upon the western coast: A. petaloidea Fernald 
at one station; a fourth species which for proper identification must 
await further field study; and the two plants which are described 
below. 
ANTENNARIA eucosma n. sp., argenteo-sericea plus minusve 
stolonifera; stolonibus gracilibus procumbentibus paullo subter- 
raneis bracteosis, bracteis paucis brunneis; caule florifero 8-25 cm. 
alto sericeo-tomentoso; foliis utrinque sericeo-tomentosis acutis 
vel breve acuminatis apice obtuse callosis, basilariis erectis lanceo- 
latis vel oblanceolatis rare ellipticis petiolatis 3-nerviis 5-16 cm. 
longis 5-15 mm. latis, caulinis 4-7 valde minuantibus, superioribus 
lineari-attenuatis 7-20 mm. longis; corymbo denso vel glomeruli- 
formi; capitulis foemineis 3-10, involucro 7-10 mm. longo basi 
lanato, bracteis exterioribus ovatis vel oblongis, interioribus lanceo- 
lato-linearibus, omnibus apice scariosis conspicue brunneis vel casta- 
neis, stylis brunneis vel purpurascentibus; capitulis masculis simili- 
bus minoribus, involucro circa 6 mm. longo, pappi setis apici paullo 
incrassatis usque ad apicem serrulatis. 
Silvery sericerous, more or less stoloniferous; stolons (and root- 
stocks) slender, procumbent, slightly subterranean, with few brown 
scaly bracts and a tuft of long erect terminal leaves: flowering stem 
slender, 8-25 cm. high, silky-tomentose: leaves silky-tomentose, acute 
to short-acuminate, with a blunt callous tip; the basal and those of 
the stolons upright, lanceolate to oblanceolate, rarely elliptical, taper- 
ing gradually to a distinct petiole, 3-nerved, (2-) 5-16 em. long, 5-15 
mm. broad; the 4-7 cauline rapidly diminishing in size; the upper- 
most linear-attenuate, 7-20 mm. long: corymb dense or glomerulate: - 
pistillate heads 3-10; the involucres 7-10 mm. high, lanate at base, 
the outer bracts ovate or oblong, the inner lance-linear, all with 
conspicuous brown or castaneous scarious tips: styles dark-brown 
or purple: staminate heads similar, smaller; the involucres about 
6 mm. high; pappus-bristles slightly thickened upward, serrulate to 
the tip.— NEWFOUNDLAND: abundant on dry limestone barrens, upper
