description in the same volume was from sub-arctic 

 specimens of his own collecting. S. lugens is well repre- 

 sented in our herbarium, and seems to be an exclusively 

 sub-arctic and Eocky Mountain species. Specimens from 

 Old Man's Kiver, about 30 miles north of the Inter- 

 national Boundary, answer to Eichardson's description 

 even better than specimens in our herbarium of his 

 own collecting. 



Senecio Newcombei, Greene, Pittonia, Vol. III., p. 249. 



Slender and weak, simple stemmed and monocephalous 

 perennial, with thin membranaceous foliage ; leaves few 

 and remote, long-petioled, reniform-palmate, i.e, of reniform 

 outline, but distinctly and evenly 7-lobed, the lobes not 

 deep, from broadly triangular to broadly oval, mucronulate, 

 the whole hardly an inch wide, all the lower on elongated 

 petioles dilated and clasping at the base ; the uppermost 

 cuneate or spatulate and sessile ; the whole plant with a 

 little loose and probably deciduous lanate pubescence ; 

 involucre short and broad, almost campanulate ; bracts 

 broad, thin, almost biserial ; calyculate bracts, none ; rays, 

 10 or 12, J to f inch long ; ovaries glabrous ; pappus 

 rather coarse, almost barbellulate. 



Seal Eocks, Dawson Harbour, Skidegate Inlet, Queen 

 Charlotte Islands, 1897. Herb. No. 16,929. {Dr. C. F. 

 Newcombe.) As pointed out by Dr. Greene, this plant 

 resembles superficially a debilitated and monocephalous 

 Chrysanthemnni segetum, and in its pappus, as well as 

 broad involucre, it seems to approach Arnica. But if not 

 a Senecio, it represents a new genus.

Vol. I., p. 333. 



Additional stations for this species are burnt hillsides 



north of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Herb. No. 12,220.
