5. Antennaria pallida noni. nov. 



,1. hnrcallx Greene, Pittonia 4: So. 1899, not Gandoger, 1887. 



From 6 to 15 em. hig-h; stolons short; leaves spatulate-oblanceolate, 

 acute, 10-15 mm. long, lightly and permanenth' soft-woolly on both 

 surfaces; heads comparatively large, 2-7; involucres 6 mm. high; tips 

 of the bracts (pistillate) broad and obtuse, dirty white or brownish in 

 color. Male plant unknown. 



Type locality. — "'Disenchantment Bay, Alaska.'' Collected ))v Fun- 

 ston, no. 101; type in the herbarium of E. L, Greene. 



Alaska (Funston, no. 101; Flett, no. 1652, near Nome City, 1900.) 



This resembles A. monocephdhi in the general outline of its leaves 

 and in its broad-bracted involucres. Its heads are considerablj' larger 

 than those of ^4. medut. 



d(J. Specic^i of the tresh'rn Unitrd States and of tltc liochj Moioitains of sotitliern 

 British America. 



6. Antennaria media Greene, Pittonia 3: 286. 1898. 



Rarely more than 6 cm. high; stolons 1-3 cm. long; leaves spatulate- 

 oblanceolate, often narrowlv so, abrupth" acute or acute, 15 mm. or 

 less long, white or grayish-tomentose on both surfaces; involucres 

 (pistillate) about 4 mm. high; tips of the pistillate bracts oblong to 

 oblong-linear, obtuse, rarely acutish, green, greenish l)rown, rarel}" 

 light brown and whitish at the very tips; tips of the staminate bracts 

 oval, obtuse, of same color as the pistillate ones. 



Type locality. — "Mountains above Coldstream, Placer County, Cali- 

 fornia." Collected by Sonne; type in the her})arium of E. L. Greene. 



From the mountains of California to British Columbia and in the 

 Rocky Mountains from Colorado to Alberta. 



While typical A. media is found in the mountains of the Pacitic 

 coast States, there occur in the Rocky Mountains plants which agree so 

 closely with the far-western ones that thev must be referred to the 

 same species. As in A. umhri)iella. the leaves of the last season are 

 often green and glabrous. The male plants, though nuich less common 

 than the female, are not rare, and, as noted by Dr. Greene, their 

 pappus l)ristles are very distinctly dilated at apex, in this respect very 

 diti'erent from those of ^1. alplna. 



Antennaria media ciliata subsp. nov. 



Depauperate, less than 3 cm. high, beset with minute, short, glan- 

 dular-tipped hairs about the glomerule, on the foliar bracts and lower 

 half of the leaves. 



Type locality. — White ^Mountains, ]\lono County, California. Col- 

 lected by Shockley, no. l-tl:; type in the United States National 

 Her])arium. 



In the White Mountains (Shoeklc y, 1886) and Sierra Nevada (Covilie 

 and Funston, no. 2160, 1891, near Farwell Gap) of California. 



7. Antennaria macounii Greene, Pittonia 3: 276. 1898. 



Stems -4-7 cm. high; stolons slender, leafy terminally, 2—4 cm. long;
