but Mr. F. S. Collins has recently collected in the extremely 
sterile soil of Eastham on Cape Cod a dwarfed plant, 
quite identical with the Middletown material, which is 
unquestionably a depauperate state of the common А. 
spectabilis. ‘There is, then, no question that the small 
plant of the New Jersey coast is a starved phase of 4. 
spectabilis rather than the Carolinian A. surculosus to 
which it has been referred.]

for lines 37 to 50, substitute: 
34. A. párviceeps (Burgess) Mackenzie & Bush. 
Stem pilose to glabrate, 3-7 dm. high; basal leaves 
spatulate; stem-leaves linear or lanceolate, those of the 
branches linear-subulate; heads numerous, small, 4—5 
тт. high, borne on the short branches; involucre turbi- 
nate, 2-3 mm. broad, of about 20 linear-subulate bracts, 
these less rigid than those of the preceding species; rays 
white, 10-20. (A. ericoides, var. Burgess.)— Prairies 
and woods, Ill, and Mo. Sept., Oct. 
Var. pusíllus (Gray) Fernald. Slender, glabrous, 1—4 
dm. high; leaves much smaller, linear to linear-subu- 
late; heads scattered, terminating the slender divari- 
cate branches. (A. ericoides, var. Gray; A. ericoides, 
var. depauperatus Porter.)— Serpentine barrens, s. Pa. 
and adjacent W. Va.  July-Sept. Fia. 950. 
under Fig. 950; for A. depauperatus read А. depaup., v. 
pusillus 
[When the combination A. depauperatus was made 
for the plant of serpentine barrens the fact was over- 
looked that Mackenzie & Bush had already published 
A. parviceps. The nomenclatorial history of the plants 
is as follows: 
Aster parviceps (Burgess) Mackenzie & Bush, Fl. 
Jackson Co. 196 (1902). А. ericoides parviceps Burgess 
in Britton & Brown, Ill. Fl. ш. 379 (1898). A. 
depauperatus, var. parviceps Fernald, RHODORA, x. 
94 (1908). ) 
Aster parviceps, var. pusillus (Gray) Fernald, comb. 
nov. 4. ericoides, var. pusillus Gray, Syn. Fl. i. pt. 2, 
184 (1884). A. ericoides depauperatus Porter, Mem. 
Torr. Bot. Club, v. 323 (1894). A. depauperatus 
Fernald, Кнорока, x. 94 (1908).]
