First Report on the Flora of Wyoviing. 12$ 



Solidago rigida, L. Sp. PI. 880 (1753). 



Not observed by the writer, but good specimens from the north- 

 eastern part of the state. 



Suggs Road, August 15, 1892, B. C. Buffum ; Sheridan Experi- 

 ment Farm, September 1895, J. F. Lewis. 



Townsendia grandiflora, Nutt. Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. n. ser. vii, 306 



(1S41). 



Frequent on the sandy plains in the eastern part of the state. 



Uva, July 9, 189i (No. 385); Pole Creek, June 30, 1895 (No, 

 1366). 

 Townsendia sericea, Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. 119 (1834). T. cxscapa, 

 (Richards) Porter. 



So far as my observation goes, this is the very earliest flower of 

 southeastern Wyoming. Abundant on the plains and in the foot- 

 hills. 



Collected May 5, 1894 (No. 7); observed on several years as 

 early as the first week in April. 



Aster adscendens, Lindl. Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. ii, 8 (1834). 



I find this as variable as it is common in the state. 



Nearly typical specimens from Bacon Creek, Silver Creek, Sweet- 

 water River and Laramie, late August and September (Nos. 1052, 

 1110, 1196 and 1149). 



A very pecuhar form from Alyersville, September 5, 1894 (No. 

 1193). This will probably prove to be a good variety at least. 

 Other specimens from Laramie Peak are not typical, but for the 

 present they are placed here. (Nos. 1561 and 1639). 



Aster adscendens frondeus, Gray. 



The citation for this name, which was communicated to me by 

 Prof. Greene, I am unable to give. The specimens indicate a good 

 variety at least. 



Bacon Creek, August 25, 1894 (No. 1049). 



Aster adscendens, Lindl. var. ? 



Three quite different forms I have listed as possible varieties — 

 No. 892 from Bacon Creek, Nos. 964 and 1092 from Gros Ventre 

 River. 



Aster canescens, Pursh. Fl. Am. Sept. 547 (1814). Machcpranthera 

 caiiescens. Gray.
