The two sheets of the American plant found in the Columbia 
University herbarium differ considerably from European specimens 
in"the same herbarium. The European is evidently a depauperate 
form of A. dioica or at least nearly related to it. The American 
plant, besides having a more trailing habit, possesses an almost 
turbinate involucre, of which only the innermost row of bracts 
have a broadly oblong obtuse papery appendage ; the outer ones 
are even destitute of scarious margins. The whole involucre is 
densely white tomentose. Specimens seen: E. A. Mearns, no. 40, 
1887, from the Mogollon Mountains, Arizona; E, Palmer, no. 109, 
1869. 
ANTENNARIA PARVIFOLIA Nutt. Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. 7: 406. 
A. dwica var. rosea D.C. Eaton, Bot. King’s Exped. 186. 
Name only. 1871. 
Stems very slender, 114-3 dm. high; pubescence of the whole 
plant fine, silky and somewhat yellowish ; leaves of the stolons 
narrowly oblanceolate, 2~3 cm. long; stem leaves linear ; heads 
small, 5-7 mm. high, in a contracted almost capitate cyme ; bracts 
of both staminate and pistillate heads‘in several rows, yellowish, 
the scarious portion oblong, obtuse, nearly always tinged with 
rose or pink. 
It is nearest related to A. dioica, differing in the slender habit, 
small heads, narrow leaves and the color of the plant and bracts ; 
the staminate plant is very rare. The following specimens are
