linear, much attenuated at the base, glabrous, punctate, I-nerved, 
the lower 10-15 cm. in length; inflorescence, involucre and flow- 
ers much as in the type. 
In pine lands between Tampa and Ballast Point, about 5 miles 
from the former place, along the line of the electric railroad, No. 
2473. The taller stem, the constantly glabrous and longer leaves, 
and the more southern range, would seem to make this plant 
worthy of varietal rank. Further field observations may, how- 
ever, prove it to be but a form of the type, which occurs in the 
western extension of the State. 
Lacinaria Garberi (A. Gray) Kuntze. This rare plant was 
very plentiful on the prairies near Palmetto, Manatee Co., No. 
2430. Dr. Garber, in whose honor it was named, collected it first 
at Tampa. 
CHRYSOPSIS FLEXUOSA N. Sp. 
Whole plant, with the exception of the involucres and upper 
surface of the leaves, copiously lanate, the hairs silky and 
deciduous. Stems 2-4 dm. tall, flexuous, ascending, branch- 
ing above; leaves ascending, rough on the upper surface, oblong- 
linear to linear or linear-lanceolate, acuminate, often curved, — 
about 5-nerved, those on the stem 3-6 cm. long, 2-8 mm. 
broad ; involucres long-peduncled, cylindric-campanulate, about 
I cm. long, 6 mm. in diameter; scales of the involucre imbricated 
in 4-6 rows, linear to linear-lanceolate, acuminate, prominently 
keeled, glabrous or sparsely pubescent with long loose hairs; 
rays broadly linear to oval, 7-9 mm. long, usually shortly 
toothed at the apex. 
In the pine lands at Bellair, Leon Co., about four miles south 
of Tallahassee, No. 2545. Nearest to C. falcata, from which it is 
readily distinguished by its much larger involucres, pubescence, 
-and range. C. falcata Ell. is confined to the coast from Massa- 
chusetts to New Jersey. 
ERIOCARPUM MEGACEPHALUM MD. Sp. 
Plant much branched, about one metre in height. 
branches pubescent with short villous hairs, striate; 
pubescent, sessile, lanceolate to linear-oblong, 
5-20 mm. broad, coarsely and remotely serrate with curved spread- 
ing teeth ; short peduncles very villous at the summit and bearing — 
a single head 2~3 cm. in diameter ; involucres about I cm. high, | 
its scales short-hispid, acute, linear to linear- 
ones slightly shorter than the inner; rays 
Stem and 
numerous linear to 
leaves sparsely — i
