account of the resemblance of the pubescence; but it is so unlike 
that species that it would be a waste of time to enumerate the 
differences. The differences in the appearance of the catkins, 
one peduncled and subtended with leaves, the others sessile, with 
no leaves at the base, mark the two as quite distinct. 
It comes nearer to S. de//a Piper, recently described in Torr. 
Bull. X XVII, 399; but this is without the glaucous bloom on 
the twigs, has different leaves, pedicellate capsules, and shorter 
filaments to the stamens. The leaves must be different or the 
specimens collected by Coville and Funston would not have been 
referred to S. subcwrulea Piper, by the author of that species, in 
the same publication. 
It is named in honor of F. V. Coville, who is probably the first 
collector of the species. 
Chrysopsis camphorata. Stems many from a_ perennial, 
woody root, ascending 1-3 feet high, scabrous, sparingly pilose, 
densely glandular throughout, with sessile and short-stipitate 
glands, varying in size. Leaves oblong-lanceolate, entire, 1-3 
cm. long, sharply acuminate, the base either cordately or auricu- 
lately clasping, midrib broad, apparently double: bud leaves form- 
ing fascicles in all the lower axils. Inflorescence open, cymose- 
paniculate, with short branches spreading almost horizontally, 
naked at the lower end, and with a few small leaves close to the 
head, these, sessile by a truncate base, and with some long hairs 
on the lower margin; heads radiate, 1-3 terminating the short 
branchlets, about 8 mm, high. Bracts of the involucre imbri- 
cated in 3 or 4 series, linear-attenuate, with ciliate margins, 
membranous on each side of the glandular midrib, which is cari- 
nate on the longer bracts; lower bracts 3 mm. long; inner 9 mm., 
both about 3 mm. broad at base. Rays 9, yellow, oblong- 
elliptical, 6 mm. long, 2 mm. wide, 2-3-toothed at apex, spar- 
ingly glandular on the margin, and with a few glandular teeth 
on the lower surface near the base, upper surface furrowed. 
Inner pappus capillary, tawny, equaling the tube of the corolla; 
outer paleaceous, glabrous, about 1 mm. long. Corolla of disk 
flowers yellow, glabrous, with the 5 short, deltoid lobes sur- 
passed by the stamens and stigmas, the latter hispid, 2 mm.
