324: MR. SPENCER MOORE ON THE 
3°0 cm. diam. Involucri phylla extima 0°8-1°0 cm. intermedia 
1-2 em. intima (cum appendice) 1°6 em. long. Achenia usque ad 
0°8 cm. long., sursum 0°2 cm. diam. Pappi sete usque 1°3 cm. 
long., exteriores circa 0°7 em. long. 
Allied to Vernonia pumila, Kotschy & Peyr., but well dis- 
tinguished by reason of the leaves being contemporaneous with 
the flowers, the one-headed peduncles, larger heads, longer invo- 
lucral scales, longer and broader achenes, and pappus-sete without 
an apical dilatation. V. macrocyanus, O.Hoftm., has much larger 
heads, more lengthily acuminate involucral leaves, and quite 
different achenes.

Allied to the species just described, which has leaves at the 
time of flowering, larger stalked heads, different appendages to 
the involucral leaves, and larger achenes narrowed below. It is 
also very close to V. chthonocephala, O. Hoffm., differing from it 
chiefly in the markedly narrower heads, the fewer and broader 
involucral leaves, and the longer achenes. 
This species and the one preceding it would be referred to 
§ Lachnorhiza by those who follow Dr. Hoffmann’s classification 
of the genus.
