Scapi humiles, aphylli, pilis furcato-stellatis (simplicibusque) obsiti. Inflorescentia pauci- flora, per anthesin subcapitata, demum plus minus elongata.

Siiiculae primum lanceolatae, deinde rotundatae, crassae, purpureo-brunneae, nitidae. B. subcapitata generally forms dense, low tufts. Each rosule of new leaves is surrounded by numerous old leaves, which are so hard in their texture, as to remain for several years. All, however, are den- sely packed together in the contracted stem. Elongated leafy stems such as are represented in the figure of Fries (Till. Spetsb. Fan. Fl., T. 3) are not typical, even though they may sometimes be found where the plant grows among deep moss, or in other dense vegetation. In such individuals also, the leaves will become broader as in the typical. Fig. 8. Typical hairforms from the scape of Draba subcapitata. form. I have no such among my material, but I have seen some specimens from Spitsbergen. The "foliis lato-lanceolatis" in Hooker's description of D. micropetala, the only part of it which does not agree with D. subcapitata has reference to a D. alpina form, the original B. micropetala, as already mentioned. The leaves are coarsely ciliated, and similar unbranched hairs are also developed on the uppermost part of the surfaces, especially the upper one. Sometimes some of these hairs become more or less forked, but stellate hairs are not found. The middle vein is ve
