162 PITTONIA. 
corollas with short villous tube and much longer funnel- 
form throat, the short deltoid teeth sparingly bristly: 
achenes setulose; pappus somewhat tawny, scarcely even 
barbellulate. 
Collected on the Shetland Ranch, mountains of northern 
Colorado, 12 July, 1896, by C. F. Baker. The plant was 
formerly referred by me to my A. subplumosa, with much 
hesitancy. But its pappus is at the opposite extreme from 
subplumose, and the strong leafiness, with thin texture, 
very thin and obtuse involuere bracts, all are characters 
demanding its separation. 
A. MULTIFLORA. Several-stemmed from the rootstock, 
not slender, a foot high, the smallish heads 3 to 12: lowest 
leaves from elliptical to ovate-lanceolate, 1 to 2 inches long, 
on flattened petioles twice as long, the broadest acute at 
base, the longer subcordate, all with a few salient serrate 
teeth, scaberulous above, glabrous beneath, the margin 
scabrous-ciliate ; the lowest cauline oval, abruptly tapering 
to a broadly-winged and basally much dilated petiole, the 
uppermost pair ovate-lanceolate, sessile by a broad base: 
involueres about 3 inch high, broadly turbinate, their bracts 
biserial and the outer series longer, glandular-puberulent : 
rays short and broad, broadly and not deeply notched 
at apex: achenes glandular-scaberulous; pappus white, 
barbellate. x 
Woods about Lake Pend d'Oreille, Idaho, J. B. Leiberg, 
June, 1891, n. 234. Also apparently the same, in a reduced 
form, from Mt. Steele of the Olympie Range, Washington, 
C. V. Piper, Aug. 1895, n. 2203. And again; specimens 
quite like the originals by Leiberg are in the U. S. Herba- 
rium, collected near Columbia Falls, Montana, 14 June, 
1894, by R. S. Williams, these bearing the label n. 1049. 
c Motum is notable on account of its profusion of smallish 
eads.
