Humifuse, with trailing subligneous branches 1 dm. long: stolons 

 very short and crowded: rosette-leaves oblaneeolate, 0-12 mm. long,

 caneseent-pannose: flowering stem stiffly erect, 0.4-1.1 dm. high: 

 cauline leaves rather crowded, 9-12, linear, 5-15 mm. long, 0.5-1.5 

 mm. wide; the upper with villous lanceolate scarious tips: pistillate 

 heads 1-3, sessile, campanulate: involucre 0-7 mm. high, lanate at 

 base: bracts about 3-seriate, unequal; the outer lanceolate, brown; 

 the inner linear-attenuate, yellowish-brown, erose-serrulate : pits of

Antennaria alpina (L.) Gaertn., var. ungavensis, n. var., a forma 

 typica recedit caulibus Horifms elongatis 2 2.3 dm. altis; foliis cauli- 

 nis 9 13; capitulis 1-2, inferiore pedieello 1-1.5 cm. longo.— Ungava: 

 Stillwater River, August 12, 1S90, Spreadborovgh, Geol. Surv. Can. 

 no. 44,442 (type in Gray Herb.). 



The material was distributed as A. labradorica Nutt. but it seems 

 highly improbable that it is that problematical species. In all its 

 technical points, glabrous oblaneeolate mucronate rosette-leaves, the 

 oblong glabrous appendages of the upper cauline leaves, the involucre, 

 and the pits of the receptacle, in no way departing from typical A. 

 alpina as understood by the writer, but noteworthy for its very tall 

 stature, numerous cauline leaves, and the long-pediceled lower head 

 of the 2-headed inflorescence.
