Saussurea monticola, Rich., App. Frank. Journ., ed. 2, 29. 



Lumped with S. alpina by Gray and others, but it pre- 

 sents so little resemblance to that species that the most casual 

 observer would at once know it to be distinct. Easily 

 separated from S. alpina by its " narrower, more rigid entire 

 leaves and very hairy involucre." Collected by Dr. Richard- 

 son in grassy plains on the Copper Mountains, lat. 67°, and 

 along the arctic coast between the Mackenzie and Copper-
