>-. In the type locality it conies into blossom late in June, and occurs spar- 

 ingly in dry, sunny situations. The other species occurring there are A. 

 (ipriat Greene, which blossoms two weeks earlier, and .-1. aonpc.^tris Rydb. 

 which is four weeks earlier. A. microjihylla Rydb. also occurs, but from 

 tliat species, its nearest relative, A. solMitialix differs in its smaller leaves, 

 shorter stolons, the congested inflorescence, and the scarcity of pistillate 

 plants (none have yet lieen found). A. mkropJnilla has narrowly oblong 

 heads, at least in the fertile plant. 



The above characters have been taken from manuscript supplied by the 

 collector, Dr. J. Lunell, who secured the specimens near Leeds, N. D. The 

 type sheet bears the accession No. 3!), 137.
