minently raised white veins and a thin indument of short white 

 hairs; panicle of fertile plant small but rather many-flowered 

 and dense, its branches glabrous, as also the calyx; pistils 

 numerous, encircled by a row of 3 to 7 or 8 stamens; filaments 

 abruptly clavate above,but not to the width of the mostly broad 

 and merely oval (occasionally oblong) anthers; immature carpels 

 fusiform, substipitate, glabrous. 



The type specimen of this rather elegant and very pale 

 meadow-rue is in the herbarium of the Geol. Survey, under 

 No. 869, and came from Tignish, at the northern extremity of 

 Prince Edward Island, v/here it was obtained by Professor 

 Macoun, 25 July, 1888. The flowers, though mainly pistillate, 

 are very fairly hermaphrodite. 



A plant much like this in habit, quite as pale with bloom, 

 and even with very similar foliage, is in the same herbarium from 

 Boyleston, Nova Scotia, by Dr. Charles A. Hamilton, July, 1890. 

 It also has hermaphrodite flowers, and in these the calyx is 

 persistent and is of five or six narrow elliptical sepals. This 

 plant also I refer tentatively to T. glaucodeum, and hope it may 

 prove to belong with the more northerly and insular type.
