ERrGERON Krxpperat. Stems several, erect, from a peren- 
nial root, 6 inches high, pilose-pubescent, apparently flaccid 
and not conspicuously angled: lowest leaves oblanceolate, 
entire, acute, wholly glabrous and in no degree ciliate ; the 
cauline narrowly linear, elongated, sessile by an abruptly 
dilated base: heads mostly solitary, small, the involucre 
barely 3 lines high ; bracts very unequal, all narrowly linear 
and rather abruptly acute, glabrous and glandless except at 
the pilose-pubescent base: rays very numerous, narrow and 
Short: pappus scanty for the E. acris group, and not at all 
accrescent, dull-white, unchanged in age. 
Plateau east of Stump Lake, British Columbia, in wet 
meadows, J. McEvoy, 1891; communicated by Mr. Macoun ; 
some of the characters indicated to him in manuscript by 
Mr. Kindberg. 
ERIGERON JUcUNDUs. Perennial, 2 to 10 inches high, the 
several stems monocephalous, or, in larger plants, with several 
and cory mbose-racemose rather large heads; herbage light- 
green and flaccid, more or less pilose-pubescent, and at least 
the upper parts of the plant glandular-viscid: lowest leaves 
spatulate-obovate and oblanceolate, obtuse, mucronulate, 
entire or with one or two pairs of crenate and mucronulate 
teeth below the apex, both faces sparsely pubescent and the 
petioles as sparsely ciliate; tbe cauline oblong-lanceolate, 
entire: heads3 or 4 lines high, but involucral bracts notably 
Shorter than the flowers, unequal, nearly linear, the inner 
acuminate, the tips of all more or less spreading, the whole 
involucre as well as the peduncles viscid-glandular, the basal 
parts hirsute-pubescent: rays apparently 60 to 80, not ex- 
tremely narrow: pappus copious and accrescent, dull white, 
little darker in age. 
A well defined species, though of the difficult group of 
E. aeris, long known from Dr. Richardson’s collection only, 
but rediscovered by Mr. Macoun in eastern British Columbia,
