WOOLLY AGOSERIS 
Agoseris villosa Rydberg 
When we were climbing the slopes of Survey Peak, which tises 
from the right bank of Glacier Lake, this showy plant was very prom- 
inent at an altitude of 7,500 feet. Our camp was pitched in the timber 
a quarter of a mile from the outlet of the lake, and there was some 
distance to be covered over a rough trail, among the willows, alders, 
and other thick, bushy vegetation, before the grassy slopes and bare 
tocks were teached. Here the sturdy stems of woolly agosetis stew 
from the rosettes of pale leaves, and the golden flowers showed to 
perfection against the soft gray background of the mountain side. 
The woody underground stems bore witness to many years of te- 
tarded growth resulting from short growing seasonis, and from al- 
pine environment. The plant is a member of the Chicory Family, and 
is related to the dandelion, which it somewhat resembles in general 
appearance. 
Glacier Lake is reached by trail, and 1s about forty-eight miles 
nottheast of Lake Louise Station, Alberta,Canada. _ 
Woolly agoseris ranges from Utah to Alberta and British Co- 
lumbia.
