A very variable plant. The numbers 1789, 1843, 1852, 1855 and 

 1928 of Trelease, as well as numbers 1743 an d 1744 of Coville and 

 Kearney, are forms more or less resembling var. caspitosa. A speci- 

 men gathered on Unalaska Island by Mr. J. M. Macoun is a form 

 remarkable by its subacute, distinctly nerved perigonial leaves, and by 

 its stem-leaves, which are hardly revolute on the borders and possess 

 a loose areolation, characters that place it near the var. ccespitosa, but 

 it differs from the latter by its stems provided with much more 

 numerous fasciculate branches. On the other hand, it is closely con- 

 nected with the form that Kindberg named P. acutiflora, but in 

 the latter the stem-leaves are strongly revolute. Number 1812 of 

 Trelease, as well as the specimens from Kukak Bay and St. Paul 

 Island, constitute a heterophyllous deformation, with upper leaves 

 often obtuse or subobtuse. The var. serrata Kindb. (Attu Island, 

 teste Macoun) does not appear to be distinguishable from the type.
