None of the specimens 1 saw can with certainty be referred 

 to Erigeron ?ieglectus Kerner, no more than the specimens the 

 named author has distributed under this name (Fl. exic. austr. 

 hung. N. 254) are totally congruent with the accompanying de- 

 scription, as to the hairiness of the leaves, the character of the 

 involucre etc. Even Rosenvinge 1. с. p. 700 has proved this; 

 and Linné having according to Lange 1. с. p. 276 sanctioned the 

 Fl. dan. figure as the plant named by him, I see no reason what- 

 ever of changing its name because it does not appear in the Alps, 

 and above all I see no reason of changing it for E. neglectus, to 

 judge from the original descriptions, not found in Greenland, if on 

 the whole anywhere.

Here and there in heath, table-land and on rocky steps in 

 the interior. 15 — 20 ctm. high, with many stems, the leaves spa- 

 tulate, glabrous or hairy, ciliate, stem and stemleaves long hairy, 

 the phyllaries hairy with jointed woolly hairs, no tubular Ç flowers. 

 The marginal flowers purple or white.

ß. pulchellus Fr. Lge. 1. c. 



Common in table-land, heath and on rocky steps, 4 — 8 ctm. 

 high; with 1 — 3 stems, the whole plant hairy, the hairs of the 

 involucre purple, jointed, the marginal flowers short, white or yel- 

 lowish white.

I see no reason of uniting E. tmifloms with E. alpinus as 

 proposed by Berlin; certainly the two species may on account of 

 homogeneous conditions of life be of a striking resemblance as to 

 habits and vegetative characters, but any gradual diminution of the 

 number of the tubular female flowers and with this a steady tran- 

 sition to E. uniflorus I did not observe.
