-'WOOTON AND STANDLEY—NEW PLANTS FROM NEW MEXICO. 183 
to 8. glaberrima, but is a taller, much more slender plant, with very narrow 
leaves and a different, narrow inflorescence. 
Petradoria graminea Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Tufted perennial from a thick, woody caudex, low, 10 to 15 em. high; old 
leaves persistent at the base in a dense mass, grayish; leaves linear, rigid, 
sharp-pointed, 1-nerved, 3 to 5 cm. long, glabrous, dilated at the base, very 
lumerous; corymbs with few cylindric heads 6 to 7 mm. high; bracts acute 
to abruptly acuminate or obtuse, smooth, stramineous; flowers usually 5; 
achenes brown, glabrous. 
Type in the U. 8S. National Herbarium, no. 45778, collected in northwestern 
New Mexico, July 14, 1883, by C. C. Marsh (no. 209). 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: South of Gallup, 1904, Wooton 2560; Gallup, 
1897, Herrick 816; Tunitcha Mountains, 1911, Standley 7777. 
A species of different aspect from P. pumila because of the very numerous, 
short, grass-like leaves and smaller stature. In general appearance the plants 
suggest some of the narrow-leaved species of Arenaria. 
Leptilon integrifolium Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Annual or possibly biennial, 20 to 40 em. high; stems stout, much branched 
at the base or above, glandular-villous and arachnoid; leaves numerous, oblong, 
obtuse, entire or rarely with a few teeth, sessile by a clasping base, villous; 
heads rather few, racemose, subtended by small lanceolate leaves, on slender 
peduncles 1 to 3 cm. long, 6 to 8 mm. broad; bracts green, lanceolate, acute, 
villous and arachnoid; rays very short, nearly obsolete, white; achenes small, 
glabrous, the fine, nearly white pappus 3 mm. long. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 495594, collected on the West 
Fork of the Gila in the Mogollon Mountains, altitude about 2,100 meters, 
August 28, 1903, by O. B. Metcalfe (no. 610). 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Mineral Creek, alt. 2,250 meters, 1904, 
Metcalfe 1419; White Mountains, alt. 2,100 meters, 1897, Wooton 356; East Las 
Vegas, September 24, 1907, S. Y. Parnay; Gilmores Ranch, alt. 2,220 meters, 
1907, Wooton & Standley 3698. 
Similar to LZ. subdecurrens, but that has all its leaves prominently toothed, 
its heads short-pedunculate, its stem less branched, and its pubescence rather 
different. * 
Erigeron deminutus Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Perennial with creeping rootstocks; stems stout, 30 cm. high or less, simple, 
canescent; basal leaves spatulate, oblanceolate, obtuse or acutish, 6 cm. long

canescent, the upper much reduced; peduncles 1 to 5, long, stout, canescent and 
sparingly glandular; disk 10 to 12 mm. wide; bracts in about 2 series, linear, 
acute, appressed, densely canescent; rays pale purplish, narrow, about 100, 
7 to 8 mm. long; achenes strigose, brown, the pappus in 2 series. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 690244, collected north of Ramah,

ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Mountains west of Grants Station, alt. 
1.800 meters, August 2, 1892, Wooton. 
A species of the glabellus group, readily distinguished by its thick, canescent 
leaves. 
Erigeron eastwoodiae Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Low annual, 10 to 14 ecm. high, with very numerous spreading, slender 
branches arising from or near the base; stems much branched, smooth, 
sparingly cinereous, the tips of the hairs all directed upward; leaves linear or
