Along Belly Eiver in the Foot Hills of the Eocky Mountains ; also, 

 at Michell Creek, Eocky Mountains. (Dawson.) This form might 

 be attached to the preceding species, but it has a hairy involucre, and 

 its stem is leafy up to the flowei- or Howers and the leaves are sessile, 

 broad at the base, and tapering to the point, ciliate on the margins and 

 the midrib covered below with long hairs.

Yar. Unalaschkensis, Less. 



Queen Charlotte Islands, 18*78. (Dawson.) Two forms were gathered. 

 One with narrow leaves and a very leafy hair}^ stem, the hairs not at 

 all appressed ; the other with a less hairy stem fewer and larger 

 leaves, which are slightly denticulate and more pointed. In both, the 

 involucral bracts are quite hairy, and in the latter very much attenuated 

 and variously curved at the tips. These forms are doubtless distinct, 

 but we need more specimens to determine.
