NEW OR NOTEWORTHY SPECIES. 149 
of short rigid forked hairs, glabrous beneath: scapes all 
terminating in a small 5 to 8-flowered subcapitate umbel: 
calyx glabrous, narrow-campanulate, with triangular cari- 
nate teeth : corolla white, hardly equalling the calyx-teeth. 
Known only in flowering specimens obtained at Port 
Clarence, Bering Strait, 28 June, 1890, by a former pupil of 
mine, Mr. W. G. Hay. 
ANDROSACE GorMANI. Biennial or perennial, not mul- 
ticipitous, but with the habit of A. septentrionalis, though 
. smaller and more slender; leaves + to ? inch long, plane, 
subsucculent, from ovate to ovate-spatulate in the smaller 
(young ?) plants to spatulate-lanceolate in the larger, entire, 
or the upper portion with a few prominent teeth, glabrous 
beneath, the upper face almost hispidulous with minute 
branching hairs: seapes purplish and scaberulous, 2 to 4 
inches high, bearing 6 to 12 or more small flowers in a 
dense umbel: calyx obpyramidal, 5-angled, the carinate 
teeth scarcely half the length of the tube: corolla white, 
barely surpassing the calyx. 
An Alaskan species, obtained at Fort Selkirk in the

ANDROSACE PINETORUM. Perennial, not multicipitous, 
the often solitary scape from the midst of a single rosula of 
apparently depressed leaves, these oblanceolate, but tapering 
to a linear basal and petiolar part, the whole 4 inch long 
or more, the laminar part commonly with 2 or 3 pairs of 
serrate teeth, the upper face scaberulous, the lower hardly 
so, but, with the scape, purplish : central scape 4 to 6 inches 
high, often accompanied by one or more lateral ones which 
are shorter: pedicels less than 3 inch long, the umbel there- 
fore contracted; both pedicels and calyx obscurely sca- 
berulous: calyx-teeth subulate, more than half as long as
