53. ANT ENN ARIA, Gcertn. 

 1. Antennaria (Margaripes) margaritacea, B. Br. 



Hab. Puget Sound, and in California near San Francisco. — Upon 

 grounds which appear to be tenable, Weddell separates this from An- 

 tennaria proper, and refers it to Heliclirysum ; but the systematic value 

 of the union of the bristles of the pappus in this subtribe requires to 

 be further tested. [Bentham and Hooker, in Gen. PL 2, p. 303, refer 

 the plant to Anaplialis, A. margaritacea^] 



2. Antennaria racemosa, Hook. 



Hab. Mountains and interior plains of Washington Territory. — 

 The western analogue of A. plantagmifolia (which, however, itself 

 occurs in the region) as to foliage ; but the loose racemose or panicle 

 is peculiar ; also the slightly 2-cleft style. 



3. Antennaria dioica, Gcertn. 



Hab. Nisqually, and between Colville and Spokane, and elsewhere 

 in Washington Territory. There is also, from the same interior region 

 of the Upper Columbia, a state with remarkably tall and leafy stems, 

 probably of this species, but too young for determination. 



4. Antennaria Carpathica, R. Br. 



Hab. Interior of Washington Territory ; the male of the tall var. 

 pulcherrima, Hook., with remarkably white involucral scales. 



5. Antennaria luztjloides, Torr. & Gray. 



Hab. Interior of Washington Territory, between Spokane, Colville 

 and the Kooskooskee. — Both sexes were collected. The inner invo- 

 lucral scales of the female are smaller, narrower, and more scarious
