05 cm. lat. Achenia subpallide grisea, 0:8 em. long., 0°1-0°13 
em. lat. Pappi sete vix omnino equilongs, 0°3 em. long. 
This has much the look of Coreopsis Prestinaria, Sch. Bip., but 
with leaves more deeply divided and linear-lobed, longer outer 
involucral leaves and pubescent middle ones, broader ligules, 
shorter and narrower set to the achenes, &c. 
COREOPSIS UGANDENSIS, sp. nov. Verisimiliter elata, molliter 
pubescens, ramulis teretibus striatis solidis, foliis sessilibus basi 
connatis usque ad medium trilobatis lobis anguste linearibus 
lobo intermedio laterales plerumque superante, capitulis medio- 
eribus solitariis pedunculatis, pedunculis modicis folia excedenti- 
bus, involucri 2-seriatis phyllis exterioribus oblongo-linearibus 
obtusis quam interiora ovato-oblonga obtusissima margine 
scariosa dorso hispidula brevioribus, ligulis circa 8 late oblongis 
apice tridentatis, acheniis oblongis compressis margine apiceque 
ciliatis faciebus unicostatis ibique sursum puberulis, pappi aristis 
2 brevibus tenuibus nudis. 
Hab. Uganda; G. F. Scott Elliot, no. 7520. 
Folia 30-50 cm. long. ; lobi laterales 1-2-2°0 em. long., inter- 
medius 4°0 cm. attingens (sepissime vero brevior), et O°1 cm. lat. 
Pedunculi modici 5:0-8:0 cm. long. Capitula pansa circa 
2°5 em. diam. Involucri phylla exteriora 0°55 cm. long., 0°1 cm. 
lat.; interiora 0°85 em. long., 04 cm. lat. Receptaculi palex 
oblongo-lineares, obtusissime, 0°6 em. long. Ligule 1°5 cm. long., 
summum 0°6 em. lat. Achzenia 0°6-0:7 cm. long., 0°1 cm. lat., 
brunnea; aristz 0°13 cm. long. 
The pubescence, narrowly lobed leaves, solitary heads on long 
peduncles, and the narrower outer and much broader and his- 
pidulous inner leaves of the involucre are the chief distinctive 
points of this species,

et albo-ciliolatis, capitulis mediocribus solitariis subsessilibus, 
involucri 2-seriatis phyllis exterioribus oblongis obtusissimis dorso 
puberulis margine ciliatis omnino herbaceis quam interiora ovata
