243 
-t- -t- Leaves of the stolons bright green, glabrous above, or in one form with 
arachnoid pubescence above, young stems and stolons bearing dark stipi- 
tate glands. 
A parlinii Fernald. Plants generally tall, 1.5 to 5 dm. high, 
averaging stouter than the preceding species: stems purplish or 
sometimes green, with the stout stolons thinly white-silky or lanate 
above, and generally bearing, especially below, or near the inflor¬ 
escence, stipitate purple glands: leaves thicker and greener than in 
the last; the basal ones distinctly 3-nerved, subcoriaceous, from 
broadly obovate to obovate-spatulate, rounded or obtuse and gen¬ 
erally mucronate at the tips; lower cauline leaves more numerous 
and more crowded than in A. plantaginea, oblong or oblong- 
lanceolate, obtuse or acutish, mucronate, glandular on both faces, 
green above, sordid beneath : heads of the pistillate plant loosely 
or densely corymbose: involucre 8 to 10.5 mm. high, of about 3 
rows of linear bracts with purple or greenish herbaceous bases and 
scarious tips; the outer bracts acute or obtuse, the inner long- 
attenuate: staminate plant unknown.— Garden and forest, vol. 10, p. 
284, and Asa Gray bull., vol. 5, p. 92, pi. 2, fig. 1 to 5; Greene, 
Pittonia, vol. 3, p. 277. On woodland knolls and rich slopes or 
even in open rocky ground, flowering in late May arid in June. 
Specimens have been examined from the following stations : Yeazie, 
Me. (M. L. Fernald), Mt. Desert Island, Me. (E. L. Rand), North 
Berwick, Me. (J. C. Parlin and M. L. Fernald), Jaffrey and Dublin, 
N. H. (E. L. Rand and B. L. Robinson), Lexington, Mass. (B. L. 
Robinson and J. M. Greenmail), Elizabeth, N. J. (Halsted’s Ameri¬ 
can weeds, no. 134, at least in part). The stipitate glands, which 
are abundant in early spring specimens, are either deciduous or very 
soon shrivelled—at any rate they are almost invariably absent in 
mid-summer specimens. 
var. arnoglossa. Stems mostly greenish: involucral bracts of 
pistillate heads with broader white petaloid tips, the outer mostly 
obtuse, the inner hardly attenuate ; “ male heads,” according to 
Professor Greene, “ 5 to 8, in a more dense cluster; milk-white tips 
of the involucral bracts very ample and showy, obovate or oblong- 
obovate, obtuse or nearly truncate, often marginate.” A.plantagini- 
folia Greene, Pittonia, vol. 3, p. 173, as to pistillate plant, and 1. c., 
277, 278. A. arnoglossa Greene, 1. c., 318.— Of more southern 
range than the type, occurring in both staminate and pistillate forms 
near Washington, but found only as a pistillate plant at New Haven,
