maturis glabris vel utrinque sparse pilosis; amentis tan turn fruc- 

 tif eris visis 2 : i . 3 ad 4 : i cm. magnis ramulos f oliatos ad 4 cm. longos 

 terminantibus ; fructibus ad 9 mm. longis pedicello brevissimo vel 

 glandula vulgo distincte breviore excluso. 



Besides the specimens mentioned {I.e. 342), I examined the 

 following: Hudson Bay: 50 miles south of Cape Eskimo, August 5, 

 1900, £. ^. and ^. £. Prg^/e (no. 43, fr., type, 46, St.; W.); 25 miles 

 south of Cape Eskimo, August 12, 1900, same coll. (nos. 54, 57, 

 fr.; W.). 



After having seen the material collected by the Prebles I 

 think it best to propose a new name for this interesting form, which 

 after all seems to represent a new species closely related to S. 

 arctophila, from which it chiefly differs in the shorter pedicels and 

 the more elongated gland. Judging by the flowers alone, one might 

 be inclined to take it for a form of S. anglorum, but the leaves are 

 mostly without any trace of stomata in the upper epidermis, and 

 their color and texture are more like in S. arctophila. Some speci- 

 mens cited in my second note may represent hybrids between this 

 species and 5. Jullertonensis . Unfortunately I have not yet seen 

 young female or male flowers, and further investigation is needed 

 to elucidate the real affinity of this form, which seems to be fairly 

 common along the western shores of Hudson Bay from James Bay 

 to Cape FuUerton and also on the islands in the western part of 

 Hudson Strait. 



Sect. IV. Glaucae E. Fries, Syllog. PI. Nov. 2:36. 1828, pro 

 parte. — Sect. Arcticae Rydbg. in Bull. I.e. pro parte; Ball in Coult. 

 and Nels, I.e., pro parte. For further synonymy see Schneider in 

 Sargent /.c. 147. 1916. — In my second paper (Bot. Gaz. 66:318. 1918) 

 I have already explained the differences between this section and 

 the Arcticae, and there I have also discussed the following species, 

 which are to be referred to this section: 19. S . fuUertonensis Schn., 

 20. S. niphoelada Rydbg., 21. 5. ehlorolepis Fern., 22. S. hrachy- 

 earpa Nutt., 23. S. pseudolapponum v. Seem., 24. 5. desertorum 

 Rich., 25. 5. glauea L., 26. S. eordifolia Pursh, 27. S. anamesa 

 Schn., and 28. S. lingulata And. 



I wish to add the following remarks, because I had the opportu- 

 nity to study some very interesting material of Herb. W., and I
