Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Genus Antennaria in New England
The genus Antennaria has recently attracted a remarkable degree of attention from American systematists. As treated in the standard manuals of the country, the northeastern states are given only one very polymorphous species, the so-called Antennam'a plantagimfolia. During the past year, however, no less than eight articles have appeared, each of them either describing or discussing different plants which have passed under that name. Many inquiries have been made about the recent treatment of these plants and as the descriptions are either very scattered or else in journals hardly accessible to most New England botanists, the following synopsis of the New England species, as now understood, has been prepared. In determining these New England forms I have been greatly aided by Prof. E. L. Greene of the Catholic University at Washington, who has kindly compared specimens I have sent him with the types of some of his species, and who has furnished me specimens of other species about which there has been doubt.
