warrant the taking up of 4faszfes for either Chaptalia or Homo-

appellation. 
As for 7hyrsanthema, whoever wishes to see that which Neck- 
er so evidently had in mind for its type, may look at its fine 
representation in the Hortus Elthamensi’s of Dillenius, plate 
230. Itis entitled to the name: 
THYRSANTHEMA HYBRIDUM. Tussilago hybrida, Linn. 
New Species of Chaptalia. ` 
C. ALSOPHILA. Leaves 34 to 5 inches long, extremely thin 
and flaccid, almost glabrous, a scanty arachnosed tementum 
along midvein and margin, even this often obsolete; outline 
obovate-oblong, acutish, the terminal half only lightly sepand- 
crenate, the lower narrower and distinctly crenate-lobed, even 
somewhat sinuate-lobed, the lobes retrorse, as are also the seve- 
ral prominent teeth of each: scape usually one only, 8 to 12 
inches high, slender, much dilated under the involucre, the 
dilatation an inch long or more and white tomentulose ; involu- 
cre an inch long; bracts few, subulate to subulate-linear, the 
margins flocculent; achenes slender ; pappus slenderly stipitate. 
Black Range, New Mexico, at 7000 feet, on shady northward

C, CONFINIS. Leaves 2 or 3 inches long, very firm, almost sub-
