COMPOSIT&. 
Kuhnia glutinosa Ell. Bot. 8S. Car. & Georg. ii, 292 (1824); Auhnia eupatorioides 
glutinosa Hitchcock, Trans, St. Louis Acad. v, 498 (1891), 
Sand hills, northeast of Whitman, August 1; Thedford, September 8 (No, 1636). 
Lacinaria squarrosa (L.) Hill, Syst. Veg. iv, 49 (1762); Serratula squarrosa L. Sp. 
Pl. ii, 818 (1753). 
The specimens from the sand hills have been placed with the variety intermedia, but 
I am inclined to believe that they belong to the species: Plummer Ford, July 6; 
Mullen, July 19; Middle Fork of Middle Loup River, July 26; Plummer Ford, August 
23; north of Whitman, July 31 (1505). 
Lacinaria punctata (Hook.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. i, 349 (1891); Liatris punctata 
Hook. F'1. Bor. Amer. i, 306 (1834). 
Also comparatively common: Plummer Ford, August 22; Thedford, September 13 
(No, 1761). No. 1706 is a stunted form with broader leaves, collected on the railroad 
embankment near Thedford, August 19, 
Eupatorium purpureum L. Sp. Pl. ii, 888 (1758). 
Common along South Dismal River, August 12 (No. 1682), 
Eupatorium perfoliatum L. Sp. PI. ii, 838 (1753). 
Together with the preceding, August 12 (No. 1683). 
Grindelia squarrosa (Pursh) Dunal, in DC. Prodr. v, 315 (1836); Donia squarrosa 
Pursh, Fl. ii, 559 (1814). 
Only a few stunted specimens were collected, 2 miles west of Thedford, September 
12 (No. 1760). 
Chrysopsis villosa (Pursh) Nutt, Gen. ii, 151 (1818); Amellus villosus Pursh, Fl. 
ii, 564 (1814). 
Otto Kuntze and Mr. MacMillan have adopted Diplogon Raf., which was pub- 
lished earlier in the year 1818; but this name had been used before by Poiret for 
Diplopogon. 
This plant is very variable, and two of my forms might have as good right to 
varietal names as others already described, Specimens of a more typical form were 
collected; 3 miles northeast of Whitman, July 31; Cody’s Lakes, August 9 to 12; 
Thedford, August 24 and September 11 (No, 1635). 
A form with oblong, nearly glabrous or slightly scabrous, thin leaves with setose- 
ciliate margins was found near Whitman, September 19 (No, 1781). 
Another similar form having linear-lanceolate leaves with revolute margins was 
found near Mullen, September 14 (No. 1766). 
Solidago missouriensis Nutt. Journ. Acad. Phila. vii, 32 (1834). 
The original 8. missouriensis is the low form with a short, crowded panicle, which 
was named by Gray variety montana. It was collected at Thedford, September 11 
(No. 1750). The taller form with more spreading panicle, the S. missouriensis of 
Gray’s Synoptical Flora, should have the name S, missouriensis glaberrima' if held as 
a distinct variety. The great variation in the species of Solidago iswell known, If 
this variety is admitted, Lam afraid that, in order to be consistent, we should be 
obliged to add one or two varieties to nearly every one of the species in that genus: 
Plummer Ford, August 23; northeast of Whitman, July 31 (No, 1632), 
1S. glaberrima Martens, Bull, Acad. Brux. vill, 68, 1841.
