STUDIES IN THE COMPOSITJE. 277 
tion made by Mr. John Macoun, at Revelstoke, B. C., in 
1890, number 11241; all the specimens female. 
A. SUFFRUTESCENS. Low evergreen undershrub, the rigid 
procumbent branches leafy throughout ; the small coriaceous 
leaves obcordate at summit, thence tapering abruptly to a 
nearly linear basal part, the whole tomentose beneath, 
glabrous and deep green above: peduncles 2 to 4 inches 
high, clothed with reduced spatulate retuse or emargin- 
ate leaves: heads solitary, not large; involucre campanu- 
late; bracts of the pistillate with much reduced and acute 
scarcely whitened tips; those of the staminate much more 
ample, white, obovate, emarginate: bristles of pappus in the 
male with evident though narrow and serrulate apical dila- 
tation. 
Most beautiful almost heath-like species, obtained only 
by Mr. Thos. Howell, near Waldo, Oregon, 8 June, 1884. 
A.PLANTAGINIFOLIA,Hook. I make mention of this under 
the heading of northern species of Antennaria for no better 
reason than that hundredsof herbarium sheets from the north 
are labelled by that name, and that it figures in all our books 
and catalogues as a northern species. it is in truth mainly 
of Virginia and Maryland; doubtless also occurring in New 
Jersey and southern Pennsylvania. There is no trace of it 
among Canadian specimens as known to me. 
A. Partinu, Fernald. This is probably quite as limited 
in its range as many others. It does not seem to occur ex- 
cept along the New England seaboard. 
A. Perasrres. Stoloniferous, but the stolons and their 
foliage not known: stoutish stems 8 to 12 inches high, spar- 
ingly leafy below, the leaves glabrous above, floccose-tomen- 
tose beneath, those of the lower and middle portion of the 
stem an inch long, linear-lanceolate, acute, those on the 
branches of the somewhat cymose-panicled inflorescence
