the Saskatchewan specimens appear to be yellow, as do some from Dr. Short (Kentucky); while others
in the same Collection seem to.be white.

plicibus, involucri foliolis obtusis glabriusculis.
Hab. Plains of the Saskatchewan, near the Rocky Mountains. Drummond.—There is only one specimen
of this very well marked species in the Collection. It will rank between S. bicolor and S. petiolaris.

Hab. Canada. Mrs. Sheppard. Mr. Goldie. Lady Dalhousie.—I have received this very fine and distinct

Hab. Canada. Pursh.—My specimen from the New England States, which has been compared with the
one in the Banksian Herbarium, does not appear to me to differ from S. Mexicana, L., of which, too, Pursh
seems to consider it a variety.

attenuatis glabris margine scabris, infimis subserratis, racemis erectis, ligulis elongatis.

superne (nunc) ramoso, foliis inferioribus ellipticis pilosiusculis serratis, racemis erectis
(compositis subsolitariis,) ligulis elongatis. Ait.—Linn.-—Engl. Bot. t. 301. Pursh, FI. Am.

Hab. Labrador? Kohlmeister ; (Surely this must be S. multiradiata.) Woody country between lat.
54° and 64°. Dr. Richardson. Saskatchawan. Drummond.—Our specimens are mostly glabrous, and are
nearly a foot high, agreeing with our British var. called Cambrica. The same is found by Mr. Greene near
the summit of Mount Washington, on the White Mountains, U. S.
24. S. multiradiata; caule villosiusculo, foliis sessilibus lanceolatis glabris ciliatis, inferioribus
apice serratis, racemo terminali erecto (dense corymboso) ligulis elongatis numer-
osis. Ait. Hort: Kew. ed. 1. v. 3. p. 218. Pursh, FI. Am. v. 2. p. 542.—S. Virgaurea. Ph.?
H ab. Labrador. (Herb. Banks.) Kohlmeister. Dr. Morrison. Bay of Eschscholtz. Chamisso. Prairies
of the Rocky Mountains. Drummond. Mackenzie River and Bear Lake. Dr. Richardson.—Most of my
specimens of this plant have the terminal raceme forming a broad dénse corymb or head; in which particular
almost alone does it differ from S. Virgaurea; and the Rocky Mountain specimens appear almost intermediate.
Chamisso’s S. Virgaurea, in my Herbarium, from- Kotzebue’s Sound, is the same as our S. multiradiata,
and I fear the two can hardly be considered more than varieties.
25. S. humilis; gracilis, caule erecto simplici glabro, foliis lanceolatis glabris inferioribus
longe petiolatis serratis superioribus linearibus integerrimis, racemo elongate terminali
solitario erecto.—Herb. Banks. MSS. Pursh, FI. Am. v. 2. p. 543. Rich, in Frankl. 1 st
Journ. ed. 2. App. p. 33.
Hab. Woody country between lat. 54°. and 64°. Dr. Richardson.—This, although the true plant of
the Banksian Herbarium, I am inclined to consider only an elongated and slender variety of S. Virgaurea;
the very opposite extreme, in the same species, of S. multiradiata.
26. 5. data; caule piloso tereti, foliis lanceolatis subtus pilosiusculis, racemis erectis,
ligulis elongatis. Herb. Banks. MSS.—Pursh, FI. Am. v. 2. p. 543.
Hab. North-west coast of America. Mr. Mtnzies.—1 regret that my specimen, which is a very indifferent
one, will not allow me to offer any additional character to what I find in Pursh.
27. S. rigida; caule foliisque ovato-oblongis pilosis scabris, caulinis integerrimis, infimis
serratis, ramis floriferis paniculatis, racemis compactis, ligulis elongatis. Ait. Hort.
