WOOTON AND STANDLEY—NEW PLANTS FROM NEW MEXICO. 179 
truly basal ones were not secured, but doubtless they are even more deeply 
divided than the lower cauline ones. 
Grindelia setulifera Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Stems slender, with numerous erect branches, leafy throughout, glabrous, 
reddish; cauline leaves oblanceolate, 25 mm. long or less, obtuse, sessile, with 
numerous setose teeth, the teeth toward the apex usually broader; heads 
numerous, mostly 10 to 12 mm. broad, subtended by 1 or 2 oblanceolate, bract- 
like leaves; outer bracts lanceolate, acute, thick and green at the tips, the inner 
mostly oblong, acute or abruptly acuminate, thin, straw colored, scarcely at all 
viscid; all the bracts erect and appressed; rays numerous, narrowly spatulate, 
obtuse, about 10 mm. long; achenes brown, glabrous, about 3 mm. long. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 45772, collected on high summits 
of the Mogollon Mountains, September, 1881, by Dr. H. H. Rusby (no. 206). 
This was originally determined as G. arizonica, but it differs from that species 
in its much smaller heads and very different leaves. The bracts, too, are not 
alike in the two species. 
Chrysopsis cryptocephala Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Perennial with several stems from a slender, woody root; stems very slender, 
30 to 40 cm. high, erect, glandular-puberulent, sometimes sparingly hirtellous 
above, simple, with rather few leaves; leaves sessile, oblong to lanceolate or 
ovate, obtuse, often abruptly acuminate and mucronate, 25 mm. long or less, 
green, thin, minutely glandular, scaberulous, especially on the upper surface; 
heads mostly solitary at the ends of the simple stems, sometimes corymbose, 
about 1 cm. broad, almost hidden by the numerous, thin, broad, often ciliate, 
ovate, acute, bract-like leaves; rays numerous, pale yellow, 8 or 9 mm. long. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 563739, collected by E. O. Wooton 
in section 23 of the V Pasture in the White Mountains, July 23, 1905. 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Gavilan Creek, August 19, 1897, Wooton 512. 
This formed a part of Doctor Greene’s C. fulcrata, as originally described, 
but it is very different from the type of that species. It is most like C. rest- 
nolens A. Nels., but has broader, fewer heads, different leaves, and very different 
bracts. 
Chrysopsis nitidula Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Perennial with several stems from a slender root; stems slender, erect, 20 
to 85 cm. high, finely and rather sparingly sericeous, leafy; leaves oblanceolate, 
or the uppermost lanceolate, obtuse or acutish, sessile, the lower tapering to 
the base, finely sericeous, the leaf as a whole appearing green and remarkably 
soft and smooth; heads 1 to several, on slender, erect peduncles, subtended by 
a few elliptic to oblanceolate, thin, bract-like leaves; disk about 1 cm. broad, 
the bracts linear-lanceolate, acute, sericeous; rays numerous, bright yellow, 10 
to 12 mm. long; achenes compressed, sericeous. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 495550, collected by O. B. Met- 
calfe in the Mogollon Mountains on the West Fork of the Gila, at an altitude of 
about 2,250 meters, August 20, 1903 (no. 552). 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: North of Ramah, July 25, 1906, Wooton; 
Middle Fork of the Gila, August 5, 1900, Wooton. 
This is very unlike any of our other species, being strongly marked by its 
peculiar pubescence and long rays. 
Chrysopsis senilis Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Stout perennial with several stems from each root; stems simple below, corym- 
bosely branched above, the branches ascending, densely villous throughout, very 
leafy, the leaves mostly longer than the internodes; leaves sessile, oblong or
