NEW SPECIES OF ANTENNARIA. 83 
under spruce trees at about 11,000 feet on Mt. Massive near 
Leadville, Colorado, 22 Aug., 1899. His specimens were 
found in only a single patch, and are all staminate. 
The specific name has no connection with the grass genus 
Nardus; but the foliage of this Antennaria is suggestive of 
that of lavender, of which one of the early names was Nardus. 
A. PROPINQUA. Near A. arnoglossa but more slender and 
only half as large, the stolons relatively more elongated and 
more copiously beset with black gland-tipped hairs, the 
bracts of the flowering branch often rather strongly ciliate 
with them: mature leaves 1} to 2 inches long, with almost 
elliptic blade and short petiole, mucronately acute, bright 
green and nearly veinless above, white-tomentose and ob- 
viously triple-nerved beneath: flowering branches (in the 
male, which alone is known) 3 to 6 inches high, bearing 
4 or 5 involucres, the terminal one sessile, the rest short- 
pedicellate: braets biserial, with large clear-white oblong- 
obovate obtuse tips: bristles of the pappus only slightly 
dilated and sharply serrulate at tip. 
Collected only by the writer, on an open hillside at Har- 
per’s Ferry, W. Va., 14 May, 1898; only one large patch 
seen, and that male. Though obviously a near relative of 
A. Parlinii and arnoglossa, its small size, very differently 
shaped foliage and peculiarly narrowed and serrulated male 
pappus-bristles, compel one to regard it as wholly distinct. 
I hope that the female plant may be detected at no distant 
time. There is no A. arnoglossa in the Harper's Ferry 
region. 
A. ALSINOIDES. Near A. neodioica, much like it in size, 
rather more slender, but the heads on shorter pedicels and 
thus more congested ; stolons much more elongated, some- 
what flexuous, equably leafy throughout, seldom rosulate 
at apex: leaves much more clearly differentiated into blade
