Remarks

[“Sept. 8. . . P. M. Clearing up. I went a-botanizing by the Coldwater Path, for the most part along a steep wooded hillside on Whetstone Brook and through its interval. . . On that wooded hillside, I find small-flowered asters, A. miser-like, hairy, but very long linear leaves; possibly the var. hirsuta of A. miser (Oakes gives of A miser, only the var. hirsuticaulis to Vermont) or else a neighboring species, for they seem distinct. (Vide press.)” Journal 9: 66, 68. 1856]
