3-4.5 cm. long, 1-2 cm. wide, acute, with serrate-dentate margin; 
cauline 9-13 below the inflorescence, cuneate-oblanceolate, short- 
acuminate; the lower subpetiolate, serrate-dentate above the middle, 
the median and upper sessile, subentire or entire, 1.5-6 cm. long; 
4-12 mm. wide: inflorescence racemiform, subsimple, loose, 3-9 cm. 
long; pedicels 1-2 cm. long, pilose, ascending, remotely bracteolate: 
involucre campanulate-hemispherical, 7-10 mm. high: bracts 3—4- 
seriate, subequal, green, the midrib glutinous; outer very green, 
lance-attenuate, ciliolate; the inner linear, acuminate, with pale 
margin: flowers about 50; ligules 15, about 4 mm. long: mature 
achenes 4 mm. long, somewhat strigose.— QUEBEC: calcareous north- 
facing cliffs at 900-1125 m. altitude, Table-top Mountain, Gaspé 
County, August 7, 1906, Fernald & Collins, no. 778 (TYPE in Gray 
Herbarium). 
In its thin ciliolate leaves pale and conspicuously reticulate-veiny 
beneath and in the texture of the involucral bracts very near S. multi- 
radiata Ait., but that species has very elongate oblanceolate basal 
leaves and essentially entire lower and median cauline ones, and a 
strongly corymbiform dense inflorescence of smaller heads, the in- 
volueres 5-6 mm. high and with less attenuate bracts. 
Sottipaco Klughii, n. sp., glaberrima; caule gracile stricto 6 dm. 
alto maculato; foliis rigidis anguste linearibus subulato-attenuatis, 
imis in petiolum marginatum longe attenuatis, mediis 4-10 cm. longis 
2-3 mm. latis; panicula virgata 1 dm. longa 1.5 cm. diametro; in- 
voluero 3-4 mm. longo; bracteis 3-seriatis, exterioribus mediisque 
lanceolatis acutis crassis costa viridi glutinosa, interioribus linearibus 
obtusis tenuibus stramineis ciliatis; ligulis 8-10. 
Very smooth: stem slender, strict, 6 dm. high, mottled: leaves 
rigid, narrowly linear, subulate-attenuate; the lower narrowed into a 
long margined petiole; the median 4-10 em. long, 2-3 mm. wide: 
panicle virgate, 1 dm. long, 1.5 cm. in diameter: involucre 3-4 mm. 
long: bracts 3-seriate, the exterior and median lanceolate, acute, thick, 
with green glutinous midrib; the interior linear, obtuse, thin, stra- 
mineous, ciliate: ligules 8-10.— Onrarto: Oliphant, Bruce County, 
August 14, 1905, A. B. Klugh, no. 3 (ryPE in Gray Herb.). : 
A remarkable species, closely simulating the heretofore unique and 
very rare S. Guiradonis Gray of Fresno County, California. In habit, 
foliage and glutinous outer bracts of the involucre the two are in- 
separable; but S. Guiradonis has only two series of bracts, these all 
attenuate thick and glutinous, while S. Klughii has a third inner 
series of thin scarious obtuse bracts. S. Klughii is also notable as an 
addition to the flora of the Bruce Peninsula, long famous for its 
unique or isolated species.
