Swan River, Drummond.—Plant from one to four inches high, with 
somewhat the habit of Antennaria alpina. The heads, although pedi- 
cellate in a compound eymose cluster, are so densely glomerate, and 
also matted together with intricate wool, that it would be thought at 
first view to belong to the Angiantheæ, and indeed it is most nearly 
allied to the species which I have referred to Crossolepis and left in that 
division. The pappus is a good deal like that of Pachysurus of Steetz ; 
its sparse pinnulæ are as large as the delicate seta from which they 
arise.
