with which the achene tapers to its beak ; yet is the plant in 

 no way nearly allied to T. retrorsum. 



Agoseris cinkrea. Perennial, the scapes stoutish, 2 feet 

 high, the suberect foliage one-third as long, the whole plant 

 glaucous, and also still paler by a coat of short roughish 

 tomentellous pubescence : leaves of somewhat oblanceolate 

 circumscription, obtusish, but tipped with a short gland-like 

 mucro, the margin in some entire, in others with a few deep 

 falciform segments or lobes : involucre \% inches high, many- 

 flowered, the bracts appearing as in but two very unequal 

 series, the outer oblong-oval, acutish, the others narrowly 

 linear-lanceolate and twice or thrice as long as the outermost, 

 all glabrous for the most part, but some with tomentose mar- 

 gins : achenes small for the plant, linear-fusiform, surmounted 

 by a delicate almost capillary pappus-stipe Y^ inch long; 

 pappus rather short, its very firm bristles distinctly scaberu- 

 lous and not fragile.

Rosa heliophila is a name that may be substituted for 

 my R. pratincola published in 1899 (Pitt. iv. 13), for there is 

 a Rosa pratincola of Europe, by A. Braun, which was published 

 in 1888. 



In the dozen years that have passed since I named and de- > j 



scribed this half herbaceous rose of the sunny prairies of the 

 middle West, several other forms like it in its low stature, 

 merely sufFrutescent growth, and corymbose terminal inflores- 

 cence, have come to light, and may be named and defined 

 here.
