Branches of the panicle and pedicels cog bn or glabrate and 
glutinous— New York: Penn Yan, Sartwell (rype in Gray Herb.);

In typical S. uniligulata as it grows in the bogs from Newfoundland 
to New Jersey the branches or the pedicels are conspicuously hirtellous. 
This typical form of the species occasionally extends inland to the 
Great Lake Region but the plant above described seems to be an 
extreme confined to western New York and Ontario. 
1-1.3 dm. broad; the branches div aricate, cord at apex, con- 
spicuously secund and bracteolate, subtended by ample leaves.—

Very strongly simulating S. rugosa, var. villosa in its leafy inflorse- 
cence with widely divergent or recurved branches; but with the 
involucre (5-5.5 mm. long) exactly as in S. Elliottii. In the slightly 
villous stem and the sparingly setose nerves of the leaves also suggest- 
ing S. rugosa, which, however, has much smaller heads.

Hort. Kew. iii, 212 (1789). 
Field-experience through several seasons with this plant has con- 
Vinced the writer that it is better treated as an extreme variation of 
S. rugosa than as a distinct species. Var. aspera is more abundant 
ohio than is typical S. rugosa and commonly prefers drier 
aDI
