Known also from Kyska Island (Baker), one of the western Aleu- 

 tian Islands, and from Unalaska (Flett, no. 1789, lltOO). 



Closely related to ^I. //lo/iocep/uda, but a smaller plant with nar- 

 rower pistillate bracts. 

 ;-'). Antennaria angustata Greene, Pittonia 3; 28-i. 1898. 



Tufted, 4-7 em. high, with short suberect offsets; stems leafy; 

 lea\ es linear or very narrowly spatulate, 12-20 mm. long-, becoming 

 glabrate above; cauline leaves linear, spreading, the tips of at least 

 the upper ones scarious and greenish brown or white; heads large, 

 l-o. usually solitary; involucres (pistillate) 0-7 nun. high, the bi-acts 

 green or brown, nearly all acuminate. Male plant unknown. 



Ti/j)e locality. — '"Coasts of Hudsons Strait.'' Collected by Bell; type 

 in the herbarium of the Geological Survey of Canada (sheet no. 11218). 



The type sheet contains 1 plants, representing two collections; one 

 from Cape Prince of Wales, in which the plants (2) are about 7 cm. 

 high and with very narrow leaves; the other from Cape Chudleigh, 

 the plants being 1 cm. high and with leaves shorter and broader in 

 proportion. 



1. Antennaria aizoides Greene. Pittonia 3 : 283. 1898. 



"Very loosely ciespitose, the branches rigid, stout, ascending, 

 searcely stolon-like, the leaves forming a rosette at summit, these 

 thick and firm in texture, spatulate from a broad, rounded, and obtuse 

 terminal portion, permanentl}" silvery-white on both sides with a dense 

 tomentum, not in the least viscid; peduncles an inch high, linear- 

 bracted, l)earing at summit about three small sessile heads; scarious 

 tips of the involucral bracts dull brownish, those of the outer ovate, 

 of the inner obovate; pappus bristles (only the male known) apparently 

 oblanceolate from toward the base, serrulate." 



Type locality. — "Dry, barren ground among the Cypress Hills, 

 Northwest Territory." Collected by John Macoun; type in the herba- 

 rium of the Geological Survey of Canada (sheet no. 11215). 



Since I have seen no specimens of this species, I quote Dr. Greene's 

 description.
