I. A. NEoprocra, Greene, Pitt. iii, 184 (27 May, 1897). I 
meet with no specimens of,,this from) anywhere to the westward 
or southward of southern Michigan. In Elias Nelson’s distribu- 
tion it occurs as collected by the late C. F. Wheeler about the 
Agricultural College, Ingham Co.; also Mr. Charles K. Dodge 
of Port Huron has sent it out from North Point, Alpena Co.; 
these specimens uncommonly tall, but the leaves not large. This 
is from well northward in the southern peninsula. The most 
southernly and at the same time the most westerly station I 
have for it is St. Joseph, on the shore of Lake Michigan. I gathered 
it there myself, in company with Dr. Nieuwland, 27th of May, 
1909. Just beyond the suburbs of that city we found it in a piece 
of rather low meadow at the base of a hillock. The specimens 
are smaller than usual. No male plants of this are known to 
me from anywhere in the West. . 
‘2. A. NEGLECTA, Greene, Pitt. iii. 173 (19 of; May, 1897). 
This, the first new antennaria to have been added to the flora of 
eastern North America since Linnaeus, has proven the forerunner 
of many more that have since been given recognition and pub- 
lication, partly by myself, and partly by others who felt the force 
of my initiative and were constrained to follow it. 
Under the rather extended limits which I seem obliged to 
concede to the species it has a wide range; for from Maryland 
and Virginia it occurs northward to Maine and eastern Canada, 
thence westward to the Mississippi River, if not a little beyond 
it. Exceedingly different environments are embraced within 
such empires of territory as are thus circumscribed as one; and 
A. neglecta wears in some parts at least of Maine, New Hampshire 
and Vermont, aspects that do not harmonize well with that of 
the plant as seen in the mild Potomac Valley. Also on the remote 
and very diverse region of the prairies the species wears almost
