Stems caespitose, slender, glabrous or above very sparsely pilose, 
2-3.5 dm. high: leaves uniform, lance-attenuate, triple-nerved, thin, 
3-6 cm. long, 4-8 mm. wide, glabrous on both surfaces or scabrous on 
the margin beneath, entire or obsoletely serrate, the margin scabrous: 
panicle erect, terminal, thyrsiform or corymbiform, 3-12 cm. long, 
2-7 cm. wide; the branches strongly ascending, the lower subtended 
by elongate leaves: heads few, mostly long-pedicelled; the pedicels 
7-12 mm. long, setulose and minutely bracteolate: involucre 2.5-3 
mm. long; the bracts 1-2-seriate, 10-15, linear-attenuate, glabrous, 
thin, greenish: ligules about 10: mature achenes 1.5-2 mm. long,

Named for Edwin Bunting Bartram, President of the Philadelphia 
Botanical Club and worthy representative of a distinguished botanical 
name, who first detected the plant at its type-locality. S. Bar- 
tramiana in habit resembles S. lepida and its var. fallax, but is at once 
distinguished from all the varieties of S. lepida by its glabrous stems, 
long-pedicelled heads and almost uniseriate involucres. At Grand 
Falls S. Bartramiana was mature (with ripe fruit) on July 22, while at 
the same locality S. lepida, var. fallax was fully a month later, col- 
lected in young flowering condition the middle of August.

Stems villous: leaves lanceolate, sharply serrate, scabrous above, 
cinereous-puberulent beneath.— Valleys of the Deerfield and Housa- 
tonic Rivers, Massachusetts and Connecticut. MASSACHUSETTS: 
roadside, Florida, August 27, 1904, Ralph Hoffmann. CONNECTICUT: 
roadside near the Housatonic River, at Bennett's Bridge, Southbury, 
October 1, 1901, E. B. Harger (TYPE in Gray Herb.); dry soil near the 
Housatonic River, Oxford, August 15, 1910, Harger. 
This plant, specially called to my attention by Mr. E. B. Harger, is 
frequent in the Housatonie Valley. It has the tiny heads, charac- 
teristic inflorescence, and * triple-nerved"' leaves of Solidago canaden- 
sis L., but differs strikingly from the typical form of that species 
(which has the stems glabrous or merely a little pilose except near the 
inflorescence and the leaves at most pilose along the nerves beneath) 
in having the upper half or two-thirds of the stem villous and the 
leaves closely cinereous-puberulent beneath as in the large-headed 5.
