Hlv Ri-nius ICpilol)itim is a very large one, especially in the tcniii(.rate zones. It is cliiefly in nionntainous reginns that the species are I'ouiul. They are in'.ich alike, for the most part, and it is one of the ililTiculties of elassifiiation to ilistingnish the dillerent forms. They appear ti; grade into each oilier. Some closely allied .species are thoii};lit to hyliridi/.e, hut that suspicion is always dilTu'iilt to pii \e. Most of the Iviiiloliiniiis are handsoiiie plants. Some are very showy, willi large Ilowers. These are nsually white, pink or violet in color. The seeds are very intcresliiin and alTord valnalile characters for dassiiicatioii. Tliey are very small, hrown in C(vl(r, and are often covered with tiny ])rojectioiis like the papilhe of the tonnne. They are furnished witli a tiift of hairs or "; wiiich is ini outgrowth from the seed-coat. Tl:e:.e hairs are white, lawny, or c'linanion-colored. l!y means of them tlie seed is carried a long ilistance hy the wind -'hat cliief of .sowers. I,ike many plants of high northern latitudes, IJpiloliiiim Uatifolinm is widely distributed in the nortlierii hemisphere. It occnrs in Arctic America, I'lurope and Asia.
