very leafy, all the leaves, even the upper cauline, greatly 

 exceeding their internodes, all lanceolate, entire, the longest 



3 or 4 inches long including the short petiole, villous-lanate 

 on both faces but most so beneath and there notably par- 

 allel-veined, also minutely viscid-glandular beneath the in- 

 dument, the stem more woolly: heads 3 to 5, short-peduncled, 

 bracts of campanulate involucre biserial, lanceolate, obtusish, 

 appressed-silky but sparsely so: rays small, deep-yellow: 

 disk-corallas with very long densely villous and sessile-

 fine, merely scabrous, dull-white. 



On shelving banks of Crested Butte, n. 336, and at Mar-

 especially the last, but stout and low, the leaves quite entire,

ARNICA SILVATICA. Stoutish, a foot high or more, with 



4 or 5 pairs of leaves mostly large and surpassing the inter-

 round-obovate and small, the pair next succeeding very 

 large, obovate, the upper pairs lance-ovate, all more or less 

 connate-sheathing and coarsely dentate: peduncles 3 to 5, 

 terminal and axillary: involucres campanulate, nearly f 

 inch high, the narrow bracts thin, somewhat villous and 

 decidedly viscid: rays large, deep-yellow ; disk-corollas with 

 short soft-villous tube and longer funnelform limb: achenes 

 sparsely villous-hirsute, in no degree glandular; pappus 

 light-tawny. 



In woods of spruce at Ruby, 8 July, n. 715. A plant
