PLATE XXXIII. 
About six inches high. Spike containing about ten flowers. Solidago, 306, 
FI. Lapp. I am indebted to Dr. Afzelius for the information that this 
Lapland plant had been found in Scotland, and I have now a specimen 
before me from the mountains of Westmoreland. 
(On comparing the several kinds of Solidago , S. Lapponica seems still to 
maintain an independent character, and is remarkable for its unbranched 
stem, nearly straight, and root-leaves decidedly ovate or even orbicular, 
toothed, or bluntly crenate, and extending down the leaf-stalk, as we 
have endeavoured to represent in the annexed plate. E.)

the stem, waved, sometimes barely toothed, those immediately beneath 
the corymb entire. Fruit-stalks branching, (tomentose. E.) Floral-

spear-shaped, woolly, membranous at the edge. Blossom pale yellow. 
Florets of the circumference oval, veined, with two or three teeth at the 
end, or entire ; four lines long, with a short narrow tube. Florets of the 
centre somewhat shorter. Anthers somewhat longer than the blossom. 
Style in the perfect longer than the stamens; in the fertile as long 
as the tube. Seeds small, (furrowed. E.) Down white, as long as the 
tube of the blossom ; rays few. Woodw.
