1909. No. 8 VASCULAR PLANTS COLLECTED IN ARCTIC NORTH AMERICA. 72 
Specimens which exactly agree with the King Point plant have been 
collected by KJELLMaN at Port Clarence, and he names them Cineraria 
integrifolia. Probably also RtcHarpson’s Cineraria integrifolia and HooKER's 
Senecio integrifolius are the same plant as ours, at least with regard to 
the plant recorded by RicHarDson from »woody country, in lat. 54°, to 
the shores of the Arctic Seac. 
It is a different matter, if the Amerian plant is the same as the 
European S. integrifolius. Torrey and Gray (North Am. F1, II, 1842, 
p- 438) meant that it was distinct from it, and named it S. Hookeri. Their 
description has two points which show that their plant was not S.integrifolius 
(L.) CLarRv., — but I also think that it was not S. integrifolius HooKer. 
The first point is, that ToRREY and Gray say that their plant has 
glabrous achenes; if HooKER'S plant has had glabrous achenes, he would 
have mentioned it, as the true S. integrifolius has pubescent achenes; but 
he says nothing, and therefore I think that his American plant has had 
pubescent achenes, as the true S. integrifolius and as our King Point 
plant have. I therefore believe that S. integrifolius Hook. and S. Hookert 
Torr. & Gray are not synonyms. 
In another point Torrey & Gray’s description differs from our plant, 
viz. they say: »rays 8—9, oblong, short«. The European S. integrifoltus 
has about 15 rays, while the King Point plant has about 21, which are 
much longer, linear-spathulate and bright orange. In this latter point our 
plant differs from the true S. integrifolius, and in one character more: our 
form has the very narrow and long involucral leaves deeply purple- 
coloured, at least in their upper part. I have therefore provisionally — as 
I have no mature fruit at my disposal — arranged it as a new variety, 
var. Lindstroemii, under the much varying S. integrifolius, naming it in 
honour of the indefatigable collector on board the Gjöa Mr. A. H. LINDSTRüM. 
With regard to the shape and covering of the leaves it agrees well with 
the main-species, but the subumbellate inflorescence has rather few (1—5) 
heads.
