Apparently common in the Rocky Mountain region of 
British America, in Alberta and adjacent British Columbia ; 
well represented in Mr. Macoun's n. 10848, from Milk River

6. Miscellaneous New Species. 
CHRYSOPSIS FASTIGIATA. Stems several from a perennial 
root, ascending, a foot high, rigid and brittle, densely 
clothed with small ascending or suberect leaves, these 
mostly less than an inch long, linear-spatulate to spatulate 
oblong, acute, sessile, white on both faces with a dense silky 
tomentum; heads numerous and narrow, in rather naked 
fastigiate corymbs at the ends of all the branches; bracts 
of the narrow turbinate involuere rather softly strigose- - 
pubescent: rays few, short and inconspicuous, light-yellow: 
achenes silky-villous; no trace of outer squamellate pappus. 
San Bernardino Mountains, California, at 10000 to 15000 
feet, S. B. Parish, 1895; the specimens distributed for C. . 
echioides, to which it bears no resemblance ; even belonging 
to the Ammodia section. 
Curysopsis HIRSUTA. Low, slender, the tufted and leafy 
stems only 6 or 8 inches high, very leafy and the leaves 
ascending, spatulately oblanceolate, acute, green and gran- 
ular-glandular beneath a sparse ratber stiffly hirsute pu- 
bescence, the leafy bracts subtending the 2 or 3 subsessile 
heads hirsute-ciliate, as are also the small outer bracts of the 
turbinate involucre, the others merel y granular-viscid ulous: 
rays very few (about 5 to 8), deep yellow: pappus with an 
outer series of short very narrow palez. 
Banks of Hangman Creek, near Spokane, Washington, 
C. V. Piper, 3 Sept, 1896. Plant with much the appear- 
ance of the Ammodia section of the genus.
