SHELDON: NEw SPECIES FROM THE PaciFic Coast 311 
blotched or spotted with purple, with a purple median line, 
slightly pubescent, the outer oblong, obtusely mucronate, the 
inner twice the length of the outer, lanceolate, acuminate : corollas 
yellow, slightly exceeding the involucre, the outer row with longer, 
purple blades : achenes brownish, 10-ribbed, 5 mm. long, tapering 
to a slender beak of equal length : pappus dull white, 5 mm. long, 
receptacle flat, areolate, with a short persistent chaff. 
This species is perhaps near to Agoseris apargiotdes (Less.) 
Greene. But a study of that species as it occurs in the vicinity of 
San Francisco, convinces me that it is entirely different. The red- 
dish-orange juice and paleaceous receptacle are noteworthy. 
Abundant on the sand dunes of Clatsop Beach near West, 
Clatsop Co., Oregon, Aug. 21, 1901, no. 11250. 
PORTLAND, OREGON.
