150 I^EAFLETS. 



and appressed ; heads several, glomerate at summit of stem ; 

 involucres only scantily woolly, the tips of the scales in the 

 fertile plant narrowly oblong, or oblong lanceolate, of a deep 

 dark green : tips of pappus-bristles in sterile plant lanceolate, 

 acute, short and rather broad, subentire, or with here and 

 there a large tooth. 



Collected at 11000 feet on Mt. Goddard of the Sierra Nevada 

 of California, July, 1900, by Messrs. Hall & Chandler ; their 

 n. 686 as in U. S. Herb.; also what appears to be the same 

 was obtained by J. G. Lemmon, at some uncertain station in 

 the Sierra as early as 1875, his specimens all sterile, as are 

 also nearly all those of Hall & Chandler. On the other hand, 

 a sheet of seven specimens gathered in the high mountains of 

 Placer Co., by Mr. C. F. Sonne in 1892, and which no doubt 

 are of this species, shows only the female plant, yet these 

 specimens seem less shrubby than the typical A. pulchella, and 

 may perchance belong to the more northerly and more herba- 

 ceous plant which I meant for typical A. media. 



Antennaria scabra. lyow and densely matted, also very 

 leafy as to the many and short stolons, these barely surpassed 

 by the flowering stems, the whole barely an inch high : leaves 

 obovate-cuneiform, V^ inch long, at first with a dense soft 

 white-woolly coat, this promptly deciduous, exposing a dense 

 glandular-scabrous green indument : heads several, glomerate 

 at summit of the very short stem ; only the scarious part of 

 involucral scales obvious, this oval, obtuse, of a dull greenish- 

 white : sterile plant not known. 



Alpine on summits of the White Mountains, Mono Co., Cal- 

 ifornia, at 12500 feet, collected by W. H. Shockley, July, 1886 ; 

 type in U. S. Herb.; the collector's n. 444. Remarkable for 

 the strong scabrous indument underlying the more or less 

 transient-tomentum. Perhaps to this may be referred a plant 

 from Farwell Gap, by Coville & Funston, n. 2160, the herb- 

 age of which soon becomes green by the shedding of the wool ; 

 but the traces of scabrous indument are faint.
