EUPATOBIACES. if 
The real characters of this are here for the first time indi- 
cated. It is the acutely turbinate involucre of narrow pointed 
bracts which tells. The species seems to range westward from 
Georgia into the Indian Territory, and perhaps southern Mis- 
souri. 
U. SUBCINERA. Stout and rigid, a foot high or more, sub- 
cinerous-scabrous: leaves large, oblong-lanceolate, entire, some- 
what undulate, hardly acute, 3 to 5-veined and the lateral veins 
divergent: cymes short and broad, the branches of it and the 
pedicels strongly hispidulous, their bracts few, large, leaf-like : 
involucres large, campanulate, their thick acutish bracts hispid- 
ciliolate, sulcate on the back, the midvein being at the bottom 
of a distinct if not deep furrow : rays not large for the plant, 
evidently ochroleucous or yellow. 
Near Ft. Meade, South Dakota, August and September, 1887, 
Dr. W. H. Forwood. Genuine U. ptarmicoides is in the collec- 
tion from the same place, but this broad-leaved thing, pale with 
a peculiar rough-hairiness, is very distinct. 
Neglected Eupatoriaceous Genera. 
Respecting the genus which has Eupatorium cannabinum for 
its type, I have for some years past felt convinced that our 
verticillate-leaved purple-flowered plants, a group headed by 
E. purpureum, are its only representatives in America. 
Nearly three years since I proposed the restoration of Conxo- 
clinium a3 a genus (Pitt. iv. 272), and in the course of the 
preparation of that paper, among other alterations which I 
madein my herbarium bundles was that of labelling under the 
generic name of OsmIA such of the species as were found refer- 
able to that evidently natural genus long ago proposed by 
Schultze. 
Seeming compelled, in view of its excellent characters, to 
give the same recognition to the group named Ageratina by 
Spach (in allusion to the strong likeness of the plants to Agera- 
tum rather than to genuine Eupatorium), I began a general 
revision of this genus under the name KyrsTENIA which 
Necker had assigned it long before the days of Spach. The 
manuscript has been lying for more than two years unfinished,
