CONANTHUS ANGUSTIFOLIUS (A. Gray). 
Nama dichotoma var. angustifolia A. Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 8: 
284. 1870, 
This abundantly distinct species does not in the least resemble 
the South American plant to which it has been referred as a va- 
riety. The original was collected by Fendler somewhere near 
Santa Fe, no. 644, but the exact locality is not given. Our speci- 
mens, no. 3846, were collected in a meadow nine miles east of 
Santa Fe. The meadow in which it was growing had evidently 
been under cultivation a year or two ago. 
ConanTHus HIspiDus (A. Gray). 
Nama hispida A. Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 5: 339. 1861. 
A species found only in sandy places west and north of Santa 
Fe, at about 6,000 feet elevation, no. 3737. 
Senecio compactus (A, Gray,) Rydberg, Mem. Torr. Club, 5: 
342. 1894. 
Senecio aureus var. compactus A. Gray, Syn. Fl. 1: Pt. 2, 391- 
1878, 
Recent writers have shown that S. aureus is a plant which be- 
longs to the eastern part of the United States, and even if it were 
found so far west as the Rocky Mountains, the plant under con- 
sideration should not be referred to it. .S. compactus is a much 
smaller, stouter plant, with thick leaves, of an entirely different 
shape. Specimens referable to it, were collected near Colorado 
Springs, Colorado, May 8th, no. 3508. 
Vv SENECIO MIcRODONTUS (A. Gray). 
Senecio Toluccanus var. microdontus A. Gray, Syn. Fl. 1: Pt. 
2, 388. 1878. 
Apparently distinct from the coarsely dentate leaved Mexican 
species of DeCandolle. The obovate spatulate leaves are mi- 
nutely serrate or entire in our specimens, no. 3648, collected in a 
meadow along Santa Fe creek, nine miles east of Santa Fe. 
Fendler’s 437, collected at the same place, was referred to Se 
exaltatus by Gray.
