I have seen no Canadian specimens of this plant. It is frequent in the United States.

H ab. Canada. Mr. Cleghom.—My variety (3. quite agrees with the Cacalia reniformis of Willdenow, except
that the involucres are not many-flowered; and the two plants are evidently near allies, if indeed they be
really distinct. Mr. Nuttall observes that in both there is a single chaffy scale in the centre of the receptacle.
It is not so in my specimens.
4. S. pauciflorus; foliis radicalibus longe petiolatis ovato-subrotundis subcordatis den-
tatis, caulinis 2 remotis pinnatifldis dentatis, pedunculis brevibus subternis umbellatis.—

Hab. Labrador. -Kohlmeister. Pursh. Woody country between lat. 54° and 64°. Dr. Richardson.—
May not Pursh have quoted as a synonym, “ S. tussilaginoides, Walt. FI. Carol. 208,” a native of Carolina?
I have seen no authentic specimen of the S. pauciflorus of Pursh; but amongst what I consider as a rayless
state of S. aureus, I find small plants exactly agreeing with the above description.

5. S. Balsamitoe; elatus, glaber, foliis inferioribus oblongis obscure serratis petiolatis,

accompanied Hearne, whence the specific name is derived. Also from Fort Franklin to the sea-coast. Dr.

the place above quoted.

Hab. Common on the banks of the Wallawallah, Flathead, and Spokan Rivers. Douglas.—“ Two to
three feet high.” My solitary specimen has no root-leaves; but it suffices to show that the speciesis distinct
from any with which I am acquainted. The leaves are copious, and the flowers exceedingly numerous, in
a dense corymbose panicle, each of a rather small size.

hoary surface of the stem and leaves, in this plant, is very striking; though in the var. /3. the tomentum is
chiefly confined to the underside.

the mouth of the Columbia. Douglas. 5. Mackenzie River. D r f Richardson__This and the following
