Hab. Labrador. Kohlmeister, (in herb, nostr.) York Factory, Hudson’s Bay, Douglas; throughout
the Barren Regions to the elevated Rocky Mountains, Drummond; and to the extreme Arctic regions Dr.
Richardson, Parry, §-c.—The male plant, which is very rare, with dense and more woolly foliage, and less
glossy inner scales, is found at Fort Norman by Dr. Richardson. Sources of the Columbia, Douglas. Una-
laschka. Chamisso, (in herb, nostr.) Kotzebue’s Sound. Lay and Collier

H ab. From Canada, {Lady Dalhousie,) to the extreme Arctic regions; and from Newfoundland (Miss
Brenton) and Labrador, (Morrison) to the dry mountain pastures of the Rocky Mountains. Drummond.
5. A. plantaginifolia; stolonibus reptantibus, foliis subtus prsecipue niveo-tomentosis,
radicalibus ovato-spathulatis albis trinerviis, caulinis lineari-lanceolatis, caule lanato simplici,

Hab. From Lake Huron, (Dr. Todd,) and throughout the woody country, to lat. 54° (Dr. Richardson,
Drummond); and from Hudson’s Bay to the mountain sources of the Columbia. Douglas, Dr. Richardson,
Drummond.
6. A. racemosa ; stolonibus reptantibus, foliis supra cauleque simplici glabris subtus albo-
tomentosis, radicalibus ovato-spathulatis, caulinis lineari-lanceolatis, floribus racemosis
dioicis, racemis laxis subcompositis, involucri squamis omnibus obtusis nitidis glaberrimis.
H ab. Alpine woods of the Rocky Mountains. Drummond.—This is more distinct from A. plantaginifolia
than that is from A. dioica. The upper side of the foliage, the stem, and involucre are quite destitute of
tomentuin, and the flowers form lax racemes, their pedicells often again divided. In many respects this plant
bears the same relation to A. plantaginifolia which A. alpina does to A. dioica.

Hab. Woody country, from the Saskatchewan to the extreme Arctic regions, and from Labrador to the
more elevated of the Rocky Mountains. Unalaschka. Chamisso. Kotzebue’s Sound. Lay and Collie.—In
size and foliage, few plants are more variable than this; yet none of our specimens have leaves so broad
or so obtuse as those of A. montana which I possess from the south of Europe, of which, nevertheless,
Mr. Brown, justly I think, esteems it a variety. Some of the specimens from the woody country are
two and two and a half feet high, very leafy: while the more alpine and arctic individuals measure from
four to five inches, with only, a pair or two of leaves.
2. A. mollis; caule elato folioso, foliis oblongis obtusis molliter pubescentibus oblique
venosis denticulatis, floribus 1-3.
Hab. Alpine rivulets of the Rocky Mountains. Drummond.—In the shape of its foliage, this species has
much affinity with the A. montana, especially the Europsean variety; but the stem is leafy (with four or
five pairs) all the way up; and the leaves are very flaccid and soft, with lax down. The flowers are remarkably
large, and of a full orange yellow, in the dry state.
3. A. Menziesii; caule elato, foliis cordatis glabris grosse serratis basi attenuatis, inferi-
oribus longe petiolatis, superioribus sessilibus, panicula subtriflora. (Tab. CXI.)

Hab. Alpine woods of the Rocky Mountains, on the east side, Drummond; and on the west side, in
mountain woods between the Kettle Falls and Spokan River, and in the Blue Mountains. Douglas.—This
appears quite distinct from the preceding, and is very constant in the shape and petiolation of its leaves.
