STUDIES IN THE COMPOSITAE. 2178 
10. P. MULTIFLORA. Philozera multiflora, Buckley, Proc. 
Philad. Acad. 1861, p. 459. Actinella odorata, Gray, as to 
plant of the U.S., but not Hymenozys odorata, DC. Common 
winter annual of Texas and New Mexico, flowering in early 
spring; herbage wholly scentless, the plant also in other 
particulars much at variance with the Mexican Hymenoxys 
odorata, which may or may not be of this genus. 
1l. P. TExaNa. Actinella Texana, Rose, Bot. Gaz. xvi. 
27 (1891). An interesting dwarf annual, of peculiar aspect, 
but of this genus strictly, according to character of inflo- 
rescence, involucre and fruit. 
2. Some northern species of ANTENNARIA. 
The entire collection of Antennaria belonging to.the Mu- 
seum of the Geological Survey of Canada was sent me some 
time since, by Mr. James M. Macoun, with the request that 
Tidentify the species. The genusis prevailingly a boreal one, 
and the British American material which has been amassed 
during many years, by thezealof the Messrs. Macoun and.their 
several helpers, has proven a most interesting study ; so that 
I am constrained to place on permanent.record the results 
of what has been a somewhat laborious piece of research. 
Upon several of the species, particularly such of them as ex- 
tend their range to our side of the British Boundary, I 
have gained valuable information from the copious mate- 
rials of the U. S. Herbarium herein Washington; while Mr. 
E. P. Bicknellof New York hasgiven me the benefit of some 
late summer specimens obtained by himself on Mt. Desert 
Island off the coast of Maine. The Greenland allies of our 
More extremely boreal forms are richly exemplified in the 
herbarium of Mr. Theodor Holm, which has been at my dis- 
posal. 
The arrangement or succession of species which I take to 
be quite natural is based, first upon the color of the in-
