ANTENNARIA ALPINA AND A. CARPATHICA. 
Tueo. HomM. 
In view of the fact Antennaria alpina (L.) R. Br. and A. carpathica 
(Wahlenb.) R. Br. are about to be excluded from the flora of this con- 
tinent according to some authors of recent date, the writer wishes to 
call attention to some points relative to the geographical distribution 
and external structure of these species. 
While both species were included by Asa Gray in his Synoptical 
Flora of North America, and by John Macoun in his Catalogue of 
Canadian Plants, with a range extending from Labrador throughout 
the northern part of the continent to Alaska and Oregon, Greene 
has expressed the opinion that 4. alpina is not known to occur on 
our continent “unless perhaps a sheet of specimens in Canadian 
Survey collection, said to have been collected on the Arctic sea coast 
by Dr. Richardson, may represent it;"! and this author makes the 
following statement about A. carpathica: * Iam still without evidence 
that true A. carpathica exists in North America" (l. c. p. 289). In 
Coulter & Nelson's New Manual of Botany of the Rocky Mountains 
(1919) twenty-one species of Antennaria are enumerated, but A. 
alpina and A. carpathica are excluded; finally in P. A. Rydberg’s 
Flora of the Rocky Mountains and Adjacent Plains (1917) A. carpathica 
has been left out, and A. alpina is credited only to some of the 
British provinces. 
However, if we combine the geographical distribution of both spe- 
cies in the Old World with that given by Gray and Macoun for this 
continent, we notice at once that A. alpina is cireumpolar, and A.
