corresponds with our European E. alpinus; but appears to be confined to the mountains of the interior;
whereas, in northern Europe it is frequently a maritime species.
8. E . gldbratus; glabriusculus, caule elato simplici, foliis radicalibus spathulatis caulinis

Hab. Hudson’s Bay to the Rocky Mountains, and from the Saskatchewan to Fort Franklin on the Mackenzie
River. Dr. Richardson. Drummond.—/3. Rocky Mountains. Drummond.—I cannot but look upon
this as quite distinct from E. alpinus, and, variable as it is in size, from 4-6 inches to 2 feet, it is very constant
in its inflorescence, a raceme with very long peduncles, and in the very copious pappus, of a slightly
tawny hue, which quite conceals the flowers. Wahlenberg notices its affinity with E. acris, which is certainly
very considerable, insomuch that it may possibly prove to be a variety of it. It is, however, much more
glabrous, and has fewer and larger leaves. This species retains all its characters in cultivation.
9. E . lonchophyllus; caule elato hispido simplici, foliis longissimis linearibus glabris ner-
vosis ciliatis inferioribus lineari-spathulatis, racemo terminali folioso multifloro, pedunculis
elongatis foliolosis, radiis numerosis angustis (albis?) pappo copioso vix longioribus.
■ Hab. Saskatchawan. Drummond.—A very remarkable species, of which, unfortunately, there is only a
solitary specimen in the Collection. This is 2 feet high; the stem angled, very hispid, with patent rigid white
hairs; cauline leaves, several of them 6 inches long, 2—4 lines broad. Flowers similar to those of E.
glabellus.
10. E. strigosus; strigoso-pilosus elatus, foliis radicalibus spathulatis caulinis lanceolatis
basi attenuatis, floribus corymboso-paniculatis, radiis (albis) patentibus numerosis involucro
parvo piloso vix duplo longioribus. Muhl. in Willd. Sp. PL v. 3. p. 1956. Pursh, FL Am.

Pacific. Dr Richardson. Drummond. Douglas.—fi. Plentiful in the vallies of the Blue Mountains and of the
Spokan River. Douglas.—The present, though, like the other species, it may not be easy to define its character
in words, is a very well marked one to the eye. It is tall and slender, with narrow leaves. The
pretty white flowers are about the size of a daisy.
11. E. purpureus; pubescens, foliis oblongis tenui-membranaceis dentatis vel integris
caulinis amplexicaulibus radicalibus in petiolum attenuatis, floribus paniculatis subcorym-
bosis, radiis purpureis numerosissimis patentibus involucro glabriusculo subtriplo longioribus.

Hab. From Lake Huron (Dr. Todd) to the Arctic Circle, and from Hudson’s Bay to the Rocky Mountains
and the shores of the Pacific. Dr. Richardson. Drummond. Douglas.—This is peculiar for its broad leaves,
which are amplexicaul at the base, of a rather deep green colour, and singularly delicate texture, and for its
rather large flowers, with copious red-purple rays. Our specimen from the Saskatchawan is truly gigantic, 3
feet high, with radical leaves a span long and 2 inches broad.

H ab. Canada. Kalm. (Linn.) Woody .country between lat. 54° and 64°. Richardson.—I have never received
any authentic specimen of this from the American Botanists; but I introduce it on the authority
of Dr. Richardson and Linnaeus. The excellent Dr. Darlington says, that what he has taken for E.
Philadelphicus agrees, on a careful comparison, also with E. purpureus. I am inclined to suspect that the two
are one species, and, if so, the present name, in right of priority, should be retained. Reichenbach’s figure
looks like a small-flowered state of E. purpureus.
13. E. pulchellus; pubescenti-asper, foliis radicalibus spathulatis integris vel serratis caulinis
remotis linearibus integerrimis, panicula laxa pauci (3-5) flora, radiis numerosis (albi-
dis vel pallide purpureis) patentibus involucro plusquam duplo longioribus.—Mich. Am. v.
