nate, their many bracts with long scaberulous green tips and 
abruptly as well as almost pungently acute. 
Sauta Maria, southern Calif., Nov., 1893, Mrs. Blochman ; 
the plant barely in early flower at that date. 
I. LATIFOLIA. Very stout stems densely leafy and villous- 
arachnoid, the cobwebby wool extending to the bases of the 
broad sessile leaves, these spatulate-obovate, A to ł inch long, 
4 inch wide below the summit, coarsely and closely serrate- 
toothed all around except at base: heads many, rather large, 
forming a dense cymose panicle or thyrsus; involucres short- 
turbinate, of not very many bracts, these short, mostly obtuse. 
Island of Santa Cruz, coast of California, by the writer, 
Aug , 1886, also a form of the same with foliage longer and not 
as broad, from Santa Rosa Island, Brandegee, 1888. 
I. SEDOIDES. Bigelovia veneta var. sedoides, Greene, Bull. 
Calif. Acad. ii. 400. 
I. VILLOSA, Stems extremely robust but decumbent, parted 
above the middle into a broad panicle of many and compact 
cymose corymbs, the stem and all branches very leafy and softly 
villous with long spreading somewhat viscid and arachnoid 
pubescence: leaves of main stem 1 inch long or more, spatulate- 
oblong, obtuse, coarsely serrate, sparsely villous, viscidulous, 
those of the branches not half as large, often subentire : heads 
not of the largest, very many and crowded; involucre turbinate, 
bracts much imbricated, pungently acute, the green tips conspic- 
uous but bearing no gland. 
Type specimens in my own herbarium, gathered from the Uni- 
versity Botanic Garden at Berkeley, Calif., in 1893, by Mr. Davy. 
The plant was sent from southern California, but I cannot recall 
by whom. Its next of kin is Z. latifolia. 
I. DECUMBENS. Branches a foot long, very slender, decum- 
bent, sparsely leafy and leaves very small, narrowly oblanceolate, 
sharply serrate-toothed: heads much scattered, about 3 at the 
end of each slender branchlet and all pedicellate; involucre 
small, turbinate, bracts imbricated, oval or oblong, acute, their 
green tips villous-pubescent: achenes narrow-turbinate, very 
silky; pappus of coarse rigid unequal bristles.
