Silky-hairy, 15-45 cm. high, sparingly branched, the latter peduncles 

 involucellate. Radical leaves long-petioled, five-parted, the cuneiform divisions 

 cleft into linear, acute lobes ; those of the involucres short-petioled, more or 

 less cuneate, otherwise similar; sepals 5-9, greenish or red (rarely yellow), 

 oblong, forming a flower 12-25 mm. broad; head of fruit globose or oblong, 

 12-25 mm. long ; achenia compressed, densely woolly, tipped with the subu- 

 late styles. 



Distrib. Anticosti, Hudson's Bay and New Brunswick to northern 

 New England, west to northern Michigan, Minnesota, British 

 Columbia, and Oregon, and in the Rocky Mountains south through 

 Colorado to Arizona (Mearns) ; also at the sea-level at the Straits 

 of Magellan. Cape Horn (Hahin, 79); Magellan (G-uillon, Voyage 

 de l'Astrolabe et de la Zelee); Magellan (Poeppig, 957, 159 in 

 Herb. Distr. ; Chili Austral (Gay, A. lanigera); Sandy Point 

 (Cunningham, Lechler, 957); Port Famine (King). Pampas de 

 Arquilhua, base of the Andes, 400 ft. (Pearce). 



Some of the specimens from the Straits of Magellan are more 

 woolly-pubescent than those from the United States, but otherwise 

 I have detected no differences. 



The type of A. multijida, Poir , is in Herb. Jussieu at Paris; 

 that of A. Hudsoniana, Richards., in the Herbarium of the British 

 Museum of Natural History ; that of A. lanigera, Gray, in the 

 general herbarium of the Paris Museum ; and that of A. globosa, 

 Nutt., in the Herbarium of Columbia College. 



Small specimens without rootstocks may be mistaken for A. 

 Caroliniana.
