 10-15 cm. long, saliently toothed with triangular teeth, puberulent above, gla- 

 brous or nearly so beneath; upper stem-leaves subsessile, oval or ovate; involucres 

 nearly hemispheric, about 15 mm. high; bracts oblanceolate, short-acuminate. 

 Perhaps a large-leaved form of A. cordifolia. Mountain sides: Mont. B.C.

4. A. cordifolia Hook. Stem 2-6 dm. high, somewhat viscid; basal leaf- 

 blades broadly cordate, usually coarsely toothed, 3-10 cm. long, puberulent, 

 and viscid-villous on the veins; stem-leaves 2-4 pairs, all except the uppermost 

 petioled and cordate or rarely ovate; involucres campanulate-turbinate, 15-18

 form. Wooded hills: Alta. Colo. Calif. B.C. Submont. Subalp. Je-Au. 



5. A. pumila Rydb. Stem 1-2, rarely 3 dm. high, viscid-villous; basal 

 leaf -blades firm, ovate, rarely subcordate, entire or few-toothed, 2-5 cm. long, 

 puberulent; stem-leaves 1-3 pairs, short-petioled or the upper sessile; involucres 

 turbinate, 10-12 mm. high, puberulent and slightly villous. A. parvifolia Greene. 

 A. Evermannii Greene. Mountains: Alta. Colo. Utah B.C. Mont. Sub- 

 alp. Je-Au. 



6. A. granulifera Rydb. Stem about 3 dm. high, glandular-granuliferous; 

 basal leaves petioled, with probably cordate blades, fallen at the time of flower- 

 ing; lower stem-leaves obovate, dentate, about 5 cm. long, glandular-granulifer- 

 ous, thin, with strong ribs; upper stem-leaves ovate or cordate, sessile; heads 3-5; 

 involucre about 12 mm. high and 2 cm. broad; bracts oblanceolate, abruptly 

 acuminate, glandular-granuliferous and slightly ciliolate; ligules orange, about 1 

 cm. broad; achenes glandular-pub erulent, striate; pappus dirty white, barbellate. 

 Mountains: Mont. Mont. Au. 



7. A. gracilis Rydb. Stem slender, 1-3 dm. high, glabrous; inflorescence 

 glandular-pruinose; basal leaf -blades broadly ovate, dentate, 3-ribbed, 2-4 cm.
