A. alpma is characterized by the bracts of the pistillate head, which are dark greenish brown, lanceolate and acute. The stam inate plant is exceedingly rare ; in the Columbia herbarium there arc only three small plants, two, both monocephalous, collected by M. W. Harrington in Alaska, and the third received from Dr.
Hooker, without any reference to locality or collector.
A. alpina has been collected in Montana by J. H. Flodman on Yogo Baldy, August 24, 1896, no. 861 ; Long Baldy, August 19, no. S62, and by Frank Tweedy in the Bozeman Pass, 1883.
