In the latter they are only decumbent at base, being erect for the 
last 10 or 12 inches. 
1183. Garberia fruticosa A. Gray. 
Only a few specimens of this very rare shrub were secured. 
The plant seemed to be very common, but the flowers were 
scarce. It probably blooms much later. The shrub is some 4 or 
5 feet high. 
691. Solidago Leavenworth T. & G. 
This rare golden-rod is by no means common. It occurred in 
only one or two places. 
1225. Helianthclla grandiflora A. Gravy. 
The tubers of this showy composite exude a copious resinous 
matter. 
1711. Liatris secunda Ell. 
This is the L. pauciflora of the Synoptical Flora where the above 
name is cited as a synonym. It is clearly not the plant Pursh 
had in view; he divides the genus into two sections, tuberous 
and non-tuberous. The first contains the species now placed in 
Liatris, the second is composed of a number of plants, part of 
which are now put in Carphephcrus, the others in 7ivilisa. L. 
paucifiora occurs in this latter group. The description given of 
it is clearly not that of a Zzatris, as now understood. 
390.” HIERACIUM MEGACEPHALON nN. sp. 
Annual, whole plant generally of a purplish hue, ste,,s 3-5 
dm. high, channeled, strongly pilose especially at the base. Radi- 
cal leaves broadly oblanceolate, 8-12 cm. long, 2-3 cm. wide, den- 
ticulate, pilose, particularly on the upper surface and the midrib 
beneath; cauline leaves oblong to oblong-ovate, decreasing in 
size towards the inflorescense, lower 4-6 cm. long, 1.5-2 cm. 
broad, truncate at base, sessile; inflorescence corymbose-panicu- 
late, densely glandular-pubescent; involucre 8-10 mm. long; 
achenes fusiform. 
Grows only in the high pine land. Flowers from March—May. 
This seems to belong near H. Gronovii, and the achene 
certainly places it near that species. Its inflorescence, large 
heads, and dense glandular-pubescence clearly separate it from 
that plant. Moreover, H. Gronovii does not begin to flower in
