BlDENS ANDICOLA HBK.?— San Miguel Uspantun, Depart. 

 Quiche, alt, 6,ooo^ May 1892, Heyde & Ltix 3,404, 3,788. 

 This reference to a species of the Andes of Ecuador is made 

 with some hesitation, on account of lack of type material. 

 With published descriptions ancl distributed material it accords 

 fairly welL Perhaps the same reference should be made of 

 John Donnell Smith 1,678, from Samac, Depart. Alta Vera- 

 paz, alt. 4, 6oo^\ but the material is entirely too immature for 

 definite statement. 



BiDENS HIRTELLA HBK. — Santiago, Depart. Zacatcpequez, 

 alt. 6,500% 1891, ^Rosalio Gomcz 1,074. This species seems 

 to have been referred only to Mexico and then doubtfully, as 

 though it had not been rediscovered. The material in hand 

 conforms exactly with the published description, but there has 

 been no opportunity of comparison with authentic specimens. 



BlDENS HUMILIS HBK. — At the summit of Volcan Acate- 

 nango, Depart. Zacatepequez, alt. 12,400% August 1892, W. 

 C. Shannon 3,691. Heretofore reported only from the moun- 

 tains of Ecuador. The peduncles and involucral scales are 

 very often hairy, and the heads vary much in slze, sometimes 

 becoming as large as those of B. grandiflora. 



Calea integrifolia Hemslcy,var. dentata,n. var. Leaves 



much thinner, glabrous (except perhaps a little sparse pubes- 

 cence beneathj, very narrowly lanceolate to linear, with con- 

 spicuous mucronulate teeth, and tapering into a long almost 

 caudate acumination, the leaves subtending the inflorescence 

 elongated.— Nebaj, Depart. Quiche, alt. 7,000% April 1890, 



Heyde & Liix 4, 506. 



SCHKUHRIA ANTHEMOIDES (DC.) {Hofkirkia anthemoides 



DC. Schkiihria Hopkirkia Gr;xy),—Heyde & Lux 3,802. 



Galeana HASTATA Llav. & Lex. — Santa Rosa, Depart. 

 SantaRosa, alt 3-4, ooo^ July 1892, //>y^/^ cS-Z/^.v 3,364. The 

 plants are much more leafy than usual, with larger leaves and 

 a fewer-flowered inflorescence than heretofore recorded. 



Tagetes LUCIDA Cav. — Santiago, Depart.^Zacatepequez, 

 alt. 6,500^ 1891, Rosalio Gomez 1,063; 1892,* Heyde & Ltix 

 3*798. Our 3,798 is more branching than usual, with ob- 

 qonical (rather than cylindrical) involucres which are 7-toothed 

 (rather than 5) and 15 to 17-flowered (instead of 5 to 7), but 

 the intergradations seem to be too complete for varietal sepa- 



ration.
