differs in the leaves, which are tomentose on both sides and have 
shorter not acuminate segments, and in the somewhat larger, 
strictly sessile heads with tomentose bracts.

‘ARTEMISIA FLOCCOSA. 
Stem stout, 5-7 dm. high, striate, tomentose; leaves pinnately 
divided into oblong segments, loosely white-tomentose on both 
sides; heads 5-6 mm. in diameter, erect, evidently pedicelled, in 
an elongated narrow raceme or panicle; bracts oval, scarious- 
margined and tomentose. 
It is nearly related to the preceding, differing mainly in the 
looser tomentum, and the erect pedicelled slightly smaller heads. 
From A. Tilesii elatior it differs in the tomentum, the form of the 
leaves, and the erect heads with tomentose bracts.

ARNICA FULGENS Pursh, Fl. Am. Sept. 2: 527.. 46i& 
I think that this is distinct from A. alpina, differing in the fol- 
lowing characters: taller, stem often 3-4 dm. high, shorter pubes- 
cence, often 3 or 4 smaller heads, much broader and dentate leaves 
and often as many as many as 3 or 4 pairs of stem leaves. 
It was collected by Mr. Flodman at Little Belt Pass, no. 891. 
1896. My own specimens, no. 823, from the Black Hills, also be- 
long here. 
“ARNICA GRACILIS., — 
Stem slender, 1-2 dm. high; whole plant glabrous, except a 
little glandular puberulence on the pedicels and involucre; basal 
leaves broadly ovate, petioled, dentate, 3-ribbed ; stem leaves. 
about 2 pairs, similar, the upper sessile; heads 1-3; disk 10-15 
mm. high; bracts 12-15, oblong-lanceolate, acuminate; rays about a 
15 mm. long; achene almost glabrous. 
It much resembles the preceding and may perhaps be a form 
of it, but differs by the smaller heads, the glandular-puberulent 
involucre and pedicels and the glabrous foliage and stem. It ap- 
proaches depauperate forms of A. latifolia.

4 ARNICA PEDUNCULATA.

leaves broadly oblong to almost linear, entire, 3-ribbed, tapering 
into a more or less winged petiole; stem leaves about 2 pairs,
