of them are borne on short axillary branches, both surfaces 
pubescent with short rufous brown hairs, margins coarsely 
dentate. Inflorescence corymbose, its branches rather long 
and stout, densely covered with a soft brownish pubes- 
cence; pedicels 1.5 em. long, widely spreading, subtended by 
linear and similarly pubescent bracts; heads turbinate, 2 
em. long, nearly that in diameter, solitary; bracts chiefly 
of one series, rather straight or with age the tips becoming 
recurved, frequently with a few scattering basal ones, linear, 
broadest at the base, obtuse, with yellowish glabrous margins, 
the middle portion thick and obscurely nerved, purple red 
especially toward the apex, covered with a rusty lanose pub- 
escence especially toward the base; flowers about 30 in 
number, all tubular; receptacle short paleaceous; corolla 15 
mm. long, slenderly tubular, the upper one third more 
or less expanded and ultimately divided into 5 roundish 
acute segments; anthers 2 mm. long, apex acute, base truncate 
or obscurely auricled; filaments equal in length, the distal 
portion thickened and whiter in color; style much exerted, 
deeply cleft; its arms subcompressed, acute, papillose, stig- 
matic around the entire forks and nearly to their bases; 
achenes 2.5 mm. long, nearly terete, striate or obscurely costate, 
the base with an obscure callous rim; pappus fine, silky 
white, copious, 1 mm. long, separating from the white rim 
like callous. 
Type specimen 6246, A. D. E. Elmer, collected near 
the summit of Mount Santo Tomas, Province of Benguet, 
Luzon, May, 1904, at an approximate altitude of 2,500 meters. 
This species is separated from its nearest ally, T. walkeri Arn., 
by its obscurely cordate leaves which are not glabrous above 
nor floccosely aracnoid beneath; and by the much more 
numerously flowered heads not being discoidal. 
5. S. mindoroensis n, sp.— A. suffrutescent species, creep- 
ing or reclining upon thickets; stems glabrous and much 
branched; branches alternate, entirely glabrous. Leaves suc- 
culent, perfectly glabrous on both sides, alternate, lanceolate, 
subentire or remotely denticulate, larger ones 7 cm. long, 
2 em. wide, apex long acute, base usually short acute, 
with a 1 cm. long petiole. Inflorescence paniculate or sub- 
corymbose; pedicels grabrous, slenderly fiexuose, bracteolate
