Several very tall specimens, measuring from 25 to 30 cm. in height, and bearing three heads were collected at Bernard harbour and on the south coast of Coronation gulf. There is a horizontally creeping rhizome of considerable length, densely covered with remnants of leaves, and with many slender, un- branched, secondary roots proceeding from the lower face of the internodes. At the apex of the rhizome a few pairs of opposite, green leaves are situated sur- rounding the base of the flower-bearing stem. Characteristic of Arnica is that the rhizome bears only green leaves, none scale-like. 1 Ur Polarvaxternas lif. ( p. 504)..
