693 Rydberg : Studies on the Rocky Mountain Flora 



This species stands in the same relation to A. lanceolata as the 

 preceding does to A. liirsiita and the following to A. linearis, dif- 

 fering mostly in the mode of blooming. One of the reasons for 

 holding them as distinct species and not as forms of the species 

 mentioned is that their ranges are different, A. aggregata and A. 

 decnvibcns extending further south into Mexico and the Gulf states, 

 while their cymose analogues are northern, and the range of y^. 

 Bodinii is more limited than that of A. linearis. A. decumbens 

 grows in dry soil on the plains, from Missouri and South Dakota 

 to Wyoming, Mexico and Mississippi.
