IGABLE Ist.: Academy Bay, occasional among rocks at 50 ft. 
At this elevation the specimens are low and with many stinging 
hairs on the stem. This same species also grows very abund- 
antly around 600 ft., where it attains a height of 3-4 ft. and 
has fewer stinging hairs on both the stems and leaves than 
do the specimens taken from the lower elevations, (nos. 1130- 
1331). James Ist.: James Bay, Snodgrass and Heller. Nar- 
BOROUGH IsL.: south side, Snodgrass and Heller. This species 
shows much variation both in size and in the arming of the 
stem and leaves, but the differences are not sufficient to be of 
formal value. Further distr. Mex., W. Ind., S. Am.
