348 MR. SPENCER MOORE ON THE 
Folia 1°5-3-0 cm. long., 10-1°5 cm. lat., per paria approximata, 
firme membranacea. Capitula pansa circa 2°5 em. diam. In- 
volucri phylla exteriora paullo ultra 1-0 em. long., 0°33 cm. lat., 
paucinervosa ; interiora 0°65 cm. long., quam illa tenuiora et 
distantius nervosa. Receptaculi pale oblonge, acute, distanter 
paucinervose, 0°5 cm. long. Ligule 1:7 cm. long., usque 
0°8 em. lat., apice tridentate, 9-11-nervose. Achenia immatura 
0°3 cm. long., 0°1 cm. lat. 
The material serving for the above description is unfortunately 
a mere scrap, but the plant seems so different from any Coreopsis 
hitherto known, that I have no hesitation in giving it a name. 
The very small ovate epetiolate crowded leaves, the subsessile 
solitary capitula, and exaristate achenes are the main character- 
istics here. 
Corropsis WHYTEI, sp.nov. Verisimiliter elata, foliosa, caule 
erecto subtereti striato solido pubescente mox glabrato, foliis 
petiolatis pinnatifidis segmentis ovatis acutis dentato-lobulatis 
foliis summis sessilibus lanceolatis dentato-lobulatis integrisve 
foliis omnibus supra glabris subtus pubescentibus, capitulis 
submajusculis pedunculatis pedunculis quam folia brevioribus, 
involucri 3-seriatis phyllis exterioribus et intermediis anguste 
obovatis obtusis sursum puberulis obscure nervosis quam intima 
oblonga obtusa tenuiora decoloria pluri-purpureo-nervosa longiori- 
bus, ligulis —, acheniis maxime compressis angustissime alatis 
faciebus striatis apice incrassatis glabris exaristatis.

Caulis 0°4-0°5 em. long., ad nodos tumidus. Folia modice 
60-8'0 cm. et horum lobi 1-0-1'5 em. long.; petioli 2°0-3°0 cm. 
long. Pedunculi 2‘0-4-0 em. long., pubescentes. Capitula circa 
30 cm. diam. Involucri phylla exteriora 1:2 em. long., summum 
O7 cm. lat.; intima vix 1:0 em. long.” Receptaculi palexe 
oblongo-lanceolatex, obtusissime, plurinervose, fere 1:0 cm. long. 
Achenia 0°5 em. long., 0:2 em. lat., griseo-brunnea. 
This has some resemblance to C. speciosa, Hiern, of which the 
leaves are differently shaped, the involucre is not quite similar 
although nearly so, and inter alia the achenes are much longer 
and relatively narrower and provided with ariste.
