This variety may perhaps be a distinct species. It is larger and the 
leaves are much broader; the upper part of the stems with bracts and 
calyx is villous of long whitish hairs. The bracts are only very little 
paler than the leaves, the calyx and especially the corolla are dull-purple. 
We have a specimen in the Copenhagen Herbarium collected by 
ESCHSCHOLTZ in Unalaschka and named C. acuminata (PURSH) SPRENG., but 
which is undoubtedly Cuamisso’s variety of C. pallida. C. acuminata is 
quite another species, if we follow PursH's original description (Flor. Am. 
sept., 2, 1814, p. 429), from which it appears that this species is very 
narrow-leaved. 
Perhaps our variety has been reported from Alaska by Britron & 
RYDBERG (Bull. New York Bot. Garden, vol. 2, no. 6, 1901, p. 181) who say 
about specimens from Fort Selkirk and Five-finger Rapids that they differ 
from the others in being villous to the base and may represent another 
species.

Herschell Isl. In full bloom, July 13th—17th, 1906. 
The specimens from both localities differ from the type in having a 
very small and short calyx (ca. 4 mm. long), round-ovate in shape; they 
deserve perhaps a special name.
