1914] Fernald,— Two Newfoundland Antennarias 197 
stolons are numerous and the mats often several decimeters across; 
in A. spathulata the stolons are very few and mats 1 dm. across are 
rare. In A. canadensis the mature flowering stem is 3-5 dm. high, 
with 8-15 cauline leaves and very loose several-headed corymbs; 
in A. spathulata the mature flowering stems are 0.8-2 dm. high, with 
4-7 cauline leaves and dense glomerules of 2-5 heads. Besides the 
material cited the following should be noted as much more fully 
representing this endemic Newfoundland species: humus and turf on 
the limestone tableland, altitude 200-300 m., Table Mountain, Port à 
Port Bay, July 16 & 17, 1914, Fernald & St. John, no. 10,870. 
A. albicans, n. sp., planta humifusa, stolonibus foliosis perbrevibus 
(ad 2 cm. longis); foliis basilaribus spathulatis subacutis vel obtusis 
vix mucronatis 3-8 mm. longis 2-3 mm. latis supra albidis, tomento 
denso minuto sublucidoque; caule florifero 4.5-9 cm. alto gracile 
subremote folioso; folii caulinis 9-15 linearibus 6-12 mm. longis 
1-2 mm. latis, mediis attenuatis apice subulato, superioribus apice 
scarioso glabro lineari 2-2.5 mm. longo; capitulis femineis (1—)2—5 
glomerulatis turbinato-campanulatis; involucro 4.5-6 mm. alto 
4.5-6 mm. lato (in specimine siccato); bracteis 2-3-seriatis subae- 
qualibus, exterioribus 3-4 mm. longis oblongis vel lanceolatis obtusis 
vel subacutis stramineis vel brunneis basi virescentibus paulo lanatis, 
interioribus oblongis obtusis erosis lacteis. 
Plant humifuse, the leafy stolons very short (up to 2 cm. long): 
basal leaves spatulate, subacute or obtuse, scarcely mucronate, 3-8 
mm. long, 2-3 mm. wide, white above with dense minute somewhat 
shining tomentum: flowering stem 4.5-9 cm. high, slender, somewhat 
remotely leafy: cauline leaves 9-15, linear, 6-12 mm. long, 1-2 mm. 
wide; the median attenuate, subulate at tip; the upper with a glabrous 
linear scarious tip 2-2.5 mm. long: pistillate heads (1-)2-5 in glom- 
erules, turbinate-campanulate: involucre 4.5-6 mm. high, 4.5-6 mm. 
wide (in dried specimen): bracts in 2-3 series, subequal: the outer 
3-4 mm. long, oblong or lanceolate, obtuse or subacute, straw-colored 
or brown, green and a little lanate at base; interior oblong obtuse, 
erose, milk-white.— NEWFOUNDLAND: dry limestone shingle on one 
of the northern domes of Table Mountain, Port à Port Bay, July 
16 & 17, 1914, Fernald & St. John, no. 10,869 (TYPE in Gray Herb.). 
Nearly related to A. subviscosa Fernald, Ruopora, xvi. 131 (1914), 
but that species has very long subligneous freely branching bases, the 
basal leaves with much looser dull tomentum, the scarious appendages 
of the upper cauline leaves very pubescent, the upper leaves and the 
inflorescence glandular, and the inner bracts of the involucre narrow 
and acute.
