1922] Fernald, — -Notes on the Flora of Nova Scotia 205 



S. canadensis X < niligi lata. One clump, apparently of this 

 origin, in a thicket near Five-River (Morris), Lake Shelburne Co. 



S. serotina Ait., var. gigantea (Ait.) Gray. Various stations 

 from Yarmouth Co. to Lunenburg Co. 



Solidago TENUIFOLIA Pursh. Many additional stations from 

 Yarmouth and Digby Cos. to Halifax Co. 



Wikr rjNDULATUS L. Lunenburg Co.: frequent in dry thickets 

 and borders of woods about Bridgewater and northward at least to 

 Wentzell Lake. 



*Aster Lindleyanus T. & G. Hants Co.: border of old hillside 

 woods, Mt. Uniacke. 



*Antennaria Pahi.imi Fernald. Lunenburg Co.: abundant at 

 the border of dry pine and oak woods on steep slopes along Lahave 

 River, Bridgewater. 



**A.\aphalis margaritacea (L.) B. & H., forma anochlora, n. 

 f., foliis lineari-lanceolatis supra viridibus glabris sub inflorescentia 

 valde reductis. 



Leaves linear-lanceolate, green and glabrous above, much reduced 

 below the inflorescence. — Occasional throughout the range of the 

 typical form. Type: dry clearings and burns near Five-River 

 (Morris) Lake, Shelburne Co., Nova Scotia, September 10, 1921, 

 Fernald <fc Long, no. 24,670, in Gray Herb. 



Forma anochlora, on account of its bright green upper leaf-surfaces, 

 is often sent out as var. occidentalis Greene. That variety, of more 

 boreal range than the slender-leaved A. margaritacea and forma 

 anochlora, has the leaves of more oblong tendency and scarcely 

 reduced in size below r the inflorescence. For discussion of it see 

 Rhodora, xiii. 25-37 (1911). 



Ambrosia trifida L. Waste ground, Dartmouth. 



**Rudbeckia lactniata L., var. gaspereauensis, n. var., foliis 

 subtus et petiolis et rhachibus pilosis. 



Lower surfaces of leaves, petioles and rhachises pilose. — Nova 

 Scotia: alluvial soil in thickets close to shore or on the strand of 

 streams and brooks of the Gaspereau River system, Kings County. 

 The type material collected at the border of an alder thicket by 

 Black River (tributary to the Gaspereau), August 31, 1921, by Prof. 

 //. G. Perry (type in Gray Herb.). 



This indigenous and isolated Nova Scotian variety differs from the 

 continental plant in the development of long pubescence, typical 

 R. laciniata being glabrous or merely scabrous. 



Coreopsis rosea Nutt. Additional stations, all in Yarmouth 

 Co.: Salmon (Greenville) Lake; Goven, St. John (Wilson) and Gil- 

 filling Lakes.
