Much branched plant about 1 meter high, shrubby at the base, with slender rushlike 

 erect branches and few alternate linear leaves*, heads pedunculate, 20 to 30-flowered;

KEY TO THE SPECIES. 



Leaves cordate-ovate, the cauline ones petiolate 1. A. cordifolia. 



Leaves lanceolate, oblanceolate, or lance-oblong, the cauline ones 



sessile 2. A./oliosa. 



1. Arnica cordifolia Hook. Fl. Bor. Amer. 1: 331. 1834. 



Type locality: "Alpine woods of the Rocky Mountains on the east side." 

 Range: British America to California, Nevada, and northern New Mexico. 

 New Mexico: Chama; Winsor Creek. Shaded hillsides, in the Canadian Zone. 



2. Arnica foliosa Nutt. Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc n. ser. 7: 407. 1841. 



Type locality: "On the alluvial flats of the Colorado of the West, particularly 

 near Bear River of the lake Timpanagos." 



Range: Montana to northern New Mexico. 



New Mexico: Tunitcha Mountains; Chama. Wet ground, especially meadows 

 about lakes and streams, in the Transition Zone. 



This is very common in the Tunitcha Mountains, where it covers large areas of 

 wet meadow to the exclusion of almost every tiling else. About Chama only two 

 or three plants were seen.
