Rand and B. L. Robinson), Lexington, Mass. (B. L. Robinson), 
Providence, R. I. (J. F. Collins and M. L. Fernald). Autumnal leaf- 
specimens from rocky shores and mountain summits in Aroostook 
and Penobscot Counties,- Me., are to be referred here or to one of 
the following. 
var. attenuata. Involucral bracts narrower, with scarious tips; 
the outer acute, the inner long-attenuate.— The common form in 
northern New England, habitually like A. neodioica but with its 
narrow attenuate bracts presenting a rather marked difference. 
Knolls in woods, base of Mt. Kineo, Me., July 9, 1897 (F. S. 
Collins and M. L. Fernald), also in woods and on rocky banks, 
Masardis, Island Falls, Sangerville and Orono, Me. (M. L. Fernald), 
abundant on Mt. Desert Island, Me. (E. L. Rand, Sara W. Boggs), 
Franconia, N. H. (Edwin Faxon), New Haven, Conn. (A. W. 
Evans and M. L. Fernald). 
var. petaloidea. Heads large, the involucre 9 or 10 mm. high ; 
the obtuse or acutish bracts with conspicuous white petaloid tips, 
equaling or exceeding the herbaceous bases.— Jaffrey, N. H., May 
81, 1897 (E. L. Rand and B. L. Robinson), also Farmington, Me. 
(C. H. Knowlton), Franconia, N. H. (Edwin Faxon). Large 
leaved forms of this may usually be distinguished from reduced 
specimens of A. plantaginea by the numerous short stolons and 
the less distinctly triple-nerved leaves. 
++ ++ Basal leaves clear green and glabrous above (the young leaves very rarely 
• with a few early-deciduous hairs). 
A. canadensis Greene. Stems slender, 1.5 to 5.5 dm. high, 
invested with fiocculent tvhite pubescence ; stolons short and numer¬ 
ous, similar to those of A. neodioica : basal leaves spatulate or 
obovate-spatulate, acute or obtuse and mucronate ; cauline leaves 
lance-attenuate, small and rather remote: involucre of the pistillate 
plant 7 to 10 mm. high, slightly lanate below ; bracts linear or linear- 
lanceolate, chartaceous or herbaceous below, with whitish scarious 
or petaloid tips; the outer acute or obtusish, the inner attenuate 
ones often chartaceous or herbaceous nearly to the tips : staminate 
heads smaller, the bracts with broader obtuse white petaloid tips. 
— Pittonia, vol. 3, p. 275.— A common late flowering species in 
northern New England, specimens having been examined from the 
following stations: dry slopes and summits of Mt. Chase, Penob¬ 
scot Co., Russell Mt., Blanchard, Peaked Mt., Clifton, and dry
