406 DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES 
scariose and smooth, sublanceolate, acute.—@. * tomentosa; leaves crowded and 
tomentose, flower clusters approximating in spikes. 
Has. Near St. Barbara, Upper California. Nearly allied to F. montana, but with larger 
capituli, &c., in 3, the scales of the involucrum are brownish and purple. A much branched annual, 
. about a span high. External florets, without pappus. 
ANTENNARIA. (R. Brown.) — 
Antennaria plantaginea. 
Has. On the plains of the Platte to the ‘Black Hills.” A one-flowered variety of this species 
sometimes occurs, as in the .2. monocephala, of Decandolle, which is also, probably, a similar 
variety of 4. alpina. Specimens have been sent to me from Louisiana by Professor Carpenter, 
and more recently they have been found on the Wishahickon, by Mr. ©. Lea, Junior, of Phila- 
delphia. In these specimens sary head of both sexes is unusually large, and the leaves very 
Antennaria * parvifolia; subcespitose, with procumbent sarments; stem sim- 
ple; lower leaves spathulate, or spathulate-linear, the upper linear, all whitely 
tomentose ; flowers conglomerate; scales of the involucrum oblong-ovate, eroded,

Has, On the Black Hills and plains of the upper part of the Platte. A dwarf species, spreading 
ol in -eanescent tufts with very small leaves, which are about half or three quarters of an inch 
long, and about two or three lines wide; the flowers in an i ar , somewhat ae mass, not 
a circular corymb, with the scales of the corymb sulphur yellow, and very conspicuo 
leaves somewhat rhomboidally spathulate. The pappus of the male flower is ver y co 
clavellate: the female flower has purple oblong-lanceolate scales to the ecolacteum, and a filiform 
pappus. A specimen of this sex from Altai has a near resemblance to our plant, but is larger in all 
its parts, and is the 2, hyperborea of Don, 
Antennaria * Labradorica; canescently tomentose; sarments procumbent, 
flowering; stem simple; radical leaves spathulate-linear, cauline linear, sessile, 
at length nearly smooth; capituli pedicellate in a cyme of three to five; scales 
of the involucrum ustulate and brownish, lanceolate and long acuminate, mem- 
branaceous. 
Has. Labrador. (Herb. Schweinitz.) Apparently a very distinct species. At first glance 
resembling 2. alpina, but more nearly a to 2. plantaginea; it is, however, a much smaller plant, 
the leaves not three-nerved; the scales | ‘Of the involueram brown, and as it were soiled at the tips, 
which are very much acuminated; the achenium is also perfectly smooth; with the pappus thick- 
ened at the base, somewhat scabrous, and yellowish white.
