ee et 
Found by Mr. Douglas in North-west America, in 
abundance, from the sea to the valley of the Rocky Moun- 
tains, in dry open situations. 
A handsome, herbaceous, perennial plant, flowering 
in May and June, a season when there are few yellow 
border flowers to be seen: it is well adapted for rock- 
work. 
* From %iov, wool, and @¢adov, a leaf, in allusion to the woolliness of 
the foliage.
