north of the Smoking River, in lat. 56°. North America. Mr. 
Drummond.—The variety £. is a remarkable one. The whole 
plant is more compact, the leaves less dentato-ciliate, and less 
closely imbricated: the spikes solitary in all the specimens, 
and supported on a peduncle scarcely more than an inch in 
length.

cent.— This species, were it better known, would probably be 
found not to be distinct from L. aristatum or L. divaricatum ; 
but being without specimens, we are unable to decide the point 
satisfactorily. As far as we can judge from the descriptions, 
. the synonyms we have brought together evidently refer to 
the same plant.
