sparingly, and in rather moist meadow lands only, and is 
past its seeding even at the time that this and A. plantagini- 
. folia are just out of flower. The species may no doubt be 
widely dispersed, and common. It is quite like A. dioica of 
Europe in habit, though with narrower foliage, and ex- 
tremely different inflorescence and general characters of 
heads and fruit. Between these three Antennarias distin- 
guished on the pages of this issue, there is not a hint of in- 
tergradation yet discovered. But there is a possibility that 
A. neodioca may be the plant intended by Nuttall as A. 
Labradorica ; but our plant does not answer to his descrip- 
tion. 
ERroPHYLLUM TERNATUM. Stems (perhaps 2 or 3 feet 
high)remotely leafy up to the corymb of slender-peduncled 
heads: leaves at least partly opposite, on slender petioles, 
ternately divided into 3 petiolulate and loosely pinnate- 
parted leaflets, of thin texture, flocculent below (as also the 
stem and involucres), glabrous above, the ultimate segments 
of all triangular-lanceolate or subulate: involucres cam- 
panulate, not more than 8 lines high, the broad firm carinate- 
nerved bracts closely compacted as if coherent, yet wholly 
distinct, numbering only 6 or 7, their tips recurved: rays 
showy : disk-flowers with short very glandular-hirsute tube: 
achenes sharply angled, sparsely gland-dotted, still more 
sparsely hairy, or quite glabrous; pappus of about 8 un- 
equal short but not connivent paler. 
Found on the streets of Ashland, Oregon, in 1893, by Mrs. 
Austin; only the upper portions of several stems collected, 
but these showing excellent characters of foliage and in- 
florescence; though the root and basal part of stems are 
unknown.
