Besides the true A . borealis, we have the variety ju st noticed, Avhich has a stouter habit, much broader
cauline leaves, and a dense woolly raceme (peduncle, pedicels, and involucres); the tomentmn of a yellowish
hue, aud lloAvers more than twice as large—as large indeed as those of A . arctica, from Avhich it differs remarkably
iu its foliage and toraentum. It will probably, on a futui-e examination and comparison Avith other
species, prove to be distinct.
2. Artemisia arctica; erecta glabra v'el hirsuta, foliis bipinnatifidis laciniis (rachique)

nudo.—Lessing, in Linnæa, v. 6. p . 213.
