Notice of Some of the Plants of New England. 217 



It is a fine companion to JE. Ijohbidnus, and " much finer " 

 than Vanden Bosch's iEschynanth, noticed at p. 79. The 

 flowers are vermihon colored with a yellow star in the throat, 

 and they are produced at the axils of the leaves in short clus- 

 ters. It is of the easiest cultivation in a damp stove, where it 

 produces flowers abundantly. {Bot. Reg. Nov.)

Parony'chia argyrocoma Nutt. Gen. 1. 160. Torrey & Gray, 

 1. 171. 



This beautiful plant was probably first collected in the Notch of the 

 White Mountains, by Drs. Chapman and Alexander, in the summer of 1843. 

 In the same year, I found it in the gravel of many of the recent slides of the 

 Notch, and Mr. Tuckerman has since found it in unmoved soil on a flat 

 rocky knoll, near the summit of Mount Crawford, several miles distant from 

 the Notch. It has not been found elsewhere north of Virginia. 



Sibbaldia procumbens Linn. Torrey & Gray, 1. 433. var. 



quinquedentata. 



In the alpine region of the White Mountains, 1846. Of my abun- 

 dant and luxuriant specimens, almost all the leaves have five teeth, the 

 two outer ones nouch smaller. The petals are generally obovate and 

 obtuse, sometimes oblong-elliptic and acute. The flower is sometimes 

 six-parted, with six stamens and nine or ten ovaries in two irregular circles. 

 6reuni macrophy'Uum Willd. Torrey & Gray, 1. 421. 



Borders of woods at the base of the White Mountains, not in the alpine 

 region. 

 Gnaphalium supinum Linn. Torrey & Gray, 2. 429. 



On the sides of Mount Washington, and other places in the alpine region 

 of the White Mountains. 1843. 

 Solidago humilis Herb. Banks. Torrey & Gray, 2. 206. 



The dwarf alpine state of this species, (alpina,) common in the alpine 

 region of the White Mountains, is S. Virga-aiirea, var. alpina of Bigelow, 

 and Torrey & Gray, 2. 207. 

 Veronica alpina Linn. var. Wormskioldii Hook. Bor. 2. 201. 



Alpine region of the While Mountains. Pickering & Oakes, 1825. 

 Euphrasia ofiicinalis Linn. D C. Prod. 10. 552. 



Stem dwarf, simple ; leaves roundish, with obtuse teeth; flowers "very 

 pale, and extremely minute. It is probably E. micrantha Rcichenbach, Fl.
