E. pulchellus, B. Unalaschkensis, DC., fide Ledeb. Fl. R. ; Vahl.— This 
differs from the Scandinavian plant in the more pointed involucre scales, 
and in its greater hairiness; but as these are variable characters in the 
Scandinavian as well as in the North American specimens which I have 
seen, I have referred this plant to the same species, especially as it 
agrees with the E. uniflorus of Herb. Norm. 8. n. 8
