TWO UNDESCRIBED PLANTS FROM THE COAST 
RANGE. 
BY T. S. BRANDEGEE. 
EASTWOODIA nov. gen. (pl. xxx.*) Heads homogamous, 
discoid, many-flowered, all the flowers fertile. Involucre short- 
campanulate, bracts narrow, few-seriate. Receptacle hemisphaeri- 
cal, papillate by the elevated points of attachment of the flowers 
and their embracing paleze. Corolla yellow, tubular-funnelform, 
shortly five-cleft. Stamens exserted, obtuse or emarginate at 
base. Style-branches flattened, stigmatic lines marginal, not 
extending to the tip. Akenes turbinate, obscurely angled, 
crowned by 5-8 palez. 
Named in honor of Miss Alice Eastwood, curator of the her- 
barium of the California Academy of Sciences. 
E. ELEGANS. Suffrutescent, nearly glabrous perennial %-1 
m. high, branching; stems striate, bark whitish, shreddy in age: 
leaves alternate, sessile, fascicled in the lower axils, linear-oblan- 
ceolate, acuminate, 1-nerved, minutely and very sparsely sca- 
brous, somewhat succulent, 2-4 cm. long, 2-4 mm. wide: heads 
114-2 cm. broad, 1-%4 high, solitary or loosely cymose at the 
upper part of slender bracts, leafy shoots of the year, 2-2)4 dm. 
long: involucre appressed; bracts corneous, whitish, 3-4-seriate, 
oblong-lanceolate, mucronate, the inner broader and with a 
scarious erose margin; bracts of the receptacle complicate, ob- 
long, corneous, with scarious erose tip, caducous, densely 
glandular below the tip within as are also those of the involucre: 
corolla glabrous, 6 mm. long, somewhat leathery: stamens and 
style well exserted; style branches broad, rounded at summit, not 
appendaged, glabrous within nearly to the tip, hirsute on the 
upper half without, stigmatic lines narrow; akenes short-turbinate 
somewhat 3-4-angled, densely upwardly pubescent, about 2 mm, 
long, not contracted at the summit; pappus of 5~8 unequal, white, 
linear-lanceolate erose-margined, corneous, persistent palez, 
much longer than the akenes. Collected by Mr. L. Jared on the
