A distinct variety seems to be represented by the typical 5S. 
Macounti Rydbg., which came from Ellis Bay on Anticosti Island. 
RyDBERG referred to this species forms of different origin, but 
mostly those related to S. fullertonensis and S. groenlandica. It 
may be briefly characterized as follows: 
7b. S. CORDIFOLIA var. Macounii, nov. var.—S. Macounii 
Rydbg. in Bull. N.Y. Bot. Gard. 1:269. 1899, quoad specim. typic. 
—S. Rydbergi® Heller, Cat. N. Am. Pl. ed. 2. 4. 1900.—S. vaccini- 
formis Rydbg. in Brirron, Man. FI. N. St. Can. 319. 1901.—A typo 
praecipue differt foliis etiam adultis minoribus vix ultra 3:1.5 cm. 
magnis vulgo satis exacte ellipticis utrinque pl.m. acutis interdum 
' Margine pl.m. denticulatis adultis glaberrimis sed novellis pl.m. 
(saltem superne!) ut in typo villosis; amentis fructiferis vix ultra 
3:1 cm. magnis. 
Type Locatity: Island of Anticosti, Ellis Bay. 
RANGE: Anticosti and northwestern Newfoundland, possibly also in 
Labrador and northern Ungava. 
SPECIMENS EXAMINED: ee Anticosti, Ellis Bay, September 7, 1883, 
J. Macoun (no. 18830 O., type).—Newfoundland: Ingornachoix Bay, 
damp rocky limestone eae near the sea level, August 4, 1910, Fernald 
and Wiegand (nos. 3203, f., fr., 3207, fr.; G.); dry rocky limestone barrens, 
near sea level, August 1, 1910, Fernald aa Wiegand (no. 3218, fr.; G.; pros- 
trate); August 2, 1910, Fernald and Wiegand (no. 3221, f., fr.; G.); Bonne 
Bay, barrens at the base of the serpentine table lands, August 27, 1910, Fernald 
and Wiegand (no. 3229, f.; G.); serpentine table land, alt. about 380 m., same 
date and collectors (no. 3230, fr.; G.). 
here is no reason according to the international rules or the Philadelphia code 
to Hie the name Macounii on account of the previous S. Richardsonii var. 
as HELLER in November 1900 and RypBeERG a few months later 
did, the latter not kiowing of HELLER’s name.
