Eastwoop: New Species oF WESTERN PLANTS 501 
dentate, together with the broad petioles 5-8 mm. long; cauline 
leaves fleshy, entire, involute, appearing terete, falcately recurving, 
I—5 mm. long : flowers very numerous, on capillary pedicels which 
are recurved-spreading but with the flowers erect, forming a grace- 
ful double curve: fruiting calyx with the divisions 3 mm. long, 
similar to the cauline leaves, tube 2 mm., obconic, veiny, in flower 
I mm. and as long as the divisions: corolla campanulate, with 
oblong, obtuse divisions twice as long as the broad tube : stamineal 
column curved, with the anthers drooping after anthesis, white- 
hairy at apex, about 1 mm. long: stigma globular, glabrous : 
capsule shorter than the calyx, acute, half adnate to the calyx- 
tube : seeds numerous, reddish-brown, oblong, tapering to the 
white funiculus. 
This is distinguished from other species by the double curve 
of the capillary pedicels, the large calyx, the peculiar corolla and 
the hairy apex of the style. 
It is found in the hot interior valleys of the Coast Mountains. 
The type was collected by the author at Alcalde, Fresno County, 
California, May 9, 1893. There are two specimens in the her- 
barium of the Academy from San Luis Obispo County, one col- 
lected by L. Jared at Estrella, the other by the author at Santa 
Margarita, June 10, 1902. 
“ Agoseris maritima 
Caudex much branched from a perennial, woody root, crowned 
with leaves in close clusters, and ragged below with the imbricated, 
brown sheaths of dilated bases of old petioles: entire plant cine- 
reous or tawny with soft closely appressed, curly, jointed hairs 
which become arachnoid on the petioles, scapes, and involucres : 
leaves oblong-spatulate, tapering to a margined petiole about 
equalling the blade, together 2-8 cm. long ; blades 1-2 cm. wide, 
with venation not evident except the broad midrib, margin sinuate- 
dentate or entire, apex acute or mucronate ; petioles clasping by 
the dilated base, becoming brown and membranous : scapes many, 
deeply ribbed, 5-15 cm. tall, lengthening in fruit, weak: heads 
1.5 to 2.5 cm. high: rays yellow tinged with purplish brown, the 
five narrow teeth at the apex closely folded in the bud and form- 
ing a brown ball at the tip of each ray: bracts of the involucre 
densely arachnoid at base, in four series, the two outer 4 mm. 
broad, oblong, acute, arachnoid within at the tip, the inner linear- 
acuminate, foliaceous and arachnoid at tip, membranous below, 
Surpassing the pappus in fruit, reflexed when the seeds have fallen, 
leaving the convex, muricate receptacle exposed: pappus pure
