—The first I knew of this plant was from Chamisso, who had the kindness to communicate to me an Unalaschka
specimen, under the name of Artemisia matricarioid.es of Lessing in the Linnæa. So little does it
accord in habit, however, with Artemisia,‘that I was not surprised to find the able Author had removed it
from that Genus, in his subsequent work, the “ Synopsis Generum Compositarum.” With Tanacetum I fear
it has little more affinity, either in foliage, inflorescence, or in the receptacle or rachis The habit is
altogether that of a Cotula, or of an Anthémis without ray; but it is probably sui generis. Lessing considers
the rachis or receptacle to be destitute of scales or bracteas, but I find the extremity only free from scales,
the rest is evidently furnished with them.

Rocky Mountains, lat. 52°; and y. Swamps of the plains among the Rocky Mountains. Drummond.—The
var. /S. of Wahlenberg differs very slightly from et.; but our var. y. is a very remarkable one, a foot and
sometimes a foot and a half high, with leaves 4-5 inches long, the whole plant clothed with an almost silky
down. The species is, indeed, very different from the A. alpina. It sends out no stolones; but the root is
branched above, and the fertile stem is sometimes accompanied by one or two erect sterile ones.
