SOME ERIGERON SEGREGATES. 211 



A fine and strongly marked species apparently collected only 

 by Mr. E. I. Applegate somewhere in southern Oregon, 29 

 July, 1898. For the particulars of the locality, I may well 

 quote the words of Mr. Applegate : ** Moist ground at edge 

 of woods west of Abbott's Butte, on boundary line between 

 Jackson and Douglas counties, about 6000 feet,*' 



Erigeron I.EUCANTHEMOIDES. Tall as the last ; more 

 strictly erect, monocephalous, the stem as leafy; basal leaves 

 not present, the cauline mostly 3 or 4 inches long, with a 

 spatulate tapering from an oval and obtusish proper larainal 

 part, this lightly and even somewhat obscurely serrate-toothed, 

 the texture of all very thin, darkened or discolored in drying, 

 both faces with some scattered hairs, but the margin without 

 any ; stem nearly glabrous thoughout, the few hairs soft and 

 spreading : heads large, the spread of the not very narrow 

 white rays nearly 2 inches ; bracts of involucre in 2 series but 

 equal, shortly soft-hirsute almost throughout, but the hairs 

 shorter and more sparse above the middle. 



Collected in the Powder River Mountains, Oregon, in 

 August. 1896, by C. V. Piper, by him labelled E, Coulteri, to 

 which it is not very closely allied. The breadth of the long 

 white rays is almost that of those of the ox-eye daisy. 



Erigeron lucidus. Stems more than a foot high, rather 

 slender, strictly erect and monocephalous from slender nearly 

 horizontal rootstocks ; basal leaves small, iK to 2/^ inches long 

 including the elliptic to oblanceolate blade and broad petiole, 

 the lower basal twice or thrice as large, mostly spatulate 

 and spatulate-oblanceolate, sessile, acute, the upper half of 

 the stem with only few and reduced acute narrow leaves, 

 the pedunculiform uppermost part naked for 3 or 4 inches 

 under the solitary large head; stem straw-colored, very 

 smooth, glabrous to the naked eye, a good lens disclosing here 

 and there a white-bristly short ascending hair ; leaves of^ a 



bright light green, of thinnest texture, glabrous except margin-
