16 Rhodora [JANUARY 
Tourelle, August 19-21, 1905, Collins & Fernald; springy coniferous 
woods along “ Low’s Trai 1,” at base of Table-top Mountain, August 
14, 1906, Collins & F. srnald, no. 738; banks of Becscie River, Anti- 
costi, July 31, 1883, J. Macoun, no. 7. 
Somewhat simulating A. foliaceus, var. Parryi Gray, but that plant, 
as represented by the original Parry material from Colorado, has the 
strongly ascending leaves smaller and rapidly decreasing to the sum- 
mit, and the corymb much less leafy than in var. subpetiolatus, which 
in its extreme form suggests some forms of the smaller-headed A. 
miqpetes L. 
A. FOLIACEUS, var. subgeminatus, n. var., caule 2.5-5 cm. alto, 
glabro; foliis adscendentibus ellipticis vel anguste serge e 
longe acuminatis basi subpetiolaribus serratis, mediis 7-12 cm. longis 
1.5-2.5 em. latis; ramis pedicellisque perbrevibus arcte siieedane 
bus, pedicellis plerumque apice 2-cephalis; involucro 5-6 mm. alto, 
pei oblanceolatis chartaceis apice valde herbaceis. 
.5-5 em. high, glabrous; leaves ascending, elliptic or nar- 
sielyé elliptic-ovate, long-acuminate, with subpetiolar ad serrate; 
the median 7-12 em. long, 1.5-2.5 em. broad: branches and pedicels 
very short, strongly ascending, the pedicels usually terminated by 2 
heads: involucre 5-6 mm. high; its bracts linear-oblanceolate, charta- 
ceous, conspicuously herbaceous at tip.— NEWFOUNDLAND: damp 
ushy ravine in the limestone tableland, altitude 200-300 m., Table 
Mountain, Port-i-Port Bay, August 16, 1910, Fernald, Wi-gand & 
Kittredge, no. 4126 
In foliage strongly resembling vars. Parryi and subpetiolatus, 
habit like typical A. foliaceus, but distinguished from all the described 
varieties in its small usually paired heads and in the absence of the 
outer foliaceous bracts. In foliage also suggesting A. tardzflorus L. 
(unknown in Newfoundland) but readily distinguished by its broader 
and firmer involucral bracts and by the very few short erect pedicels. 
Material from the valley of Harry’s River (no. 4120) strongly simu- 
lates var. subgeminatus, but has the involucre with more foliaceous — 
outer bracts. 
AsTER anticostensis, n. sp., caule solitario 4 dm. alto, subflexuoso. 
glabro; foliis coriaceis lineari-lanceolatis utroque attenuatis basi 
subcordatis margine open: scabris, mediis 1.2-1.6 dm. longis 1 peat 
latis; ramis arcte adscendentibus, icellis plerumque 2-5 ¢

1.5-2 mm. latis duris . vel subcoriaceis ppt apice sub- 
violaceis circa 1.5 cm. longis; pappo 1-seria 
setis barbellatie: achaeniis setosis.
