evident. Inflorescence spicately elongated, erect, terminal, 
varying from 1 to 2 dm long, the rachis densely woolly; 
flowers odorless, in shortly branched clusters, purplish, al- 
ternating, more numerous or congested at the top; the lower 
clusters scattering and subtended by reduced leaves of dif- 
ferent sizes and from 1 to 3 cm in length, the upper ones 
subtended by linear bracts; branchlets few and very short, 
subtended by bracteoles; pedicels 3 to 5 mm long, long 
and densely silky hairy; heads campanulate, 7.5 mm high, 
fully as wide; receptacle flat, roughly pitted but not hairy; 
involucre lanose, ascending; segments numerous, united at 
their bases to the receptacle, strongly imbricate, pointed, 
the inner or longer ones 6 mm long and linear, 0.75 mm 
wide; the midvein evideut, the sides hyaline or subhyaline, 
the basal portion of the inner ones glabrate; corolla of the 
‘larger kind 45 mm long and tubular toward the base, 
gradually widened toward the distal end which is 1.25 mm 
across and 5-toothed, glabrous except the abruptly or minutely 
irregular tips of the corolla segments, 5-veined; style fleshy, 
dark brown and glabrous, the 2 nearly straight and linear 
stigmatic arms exerted; stamens included or their tips equal-

line, free, inserted below the middle of the tubular corolla; 
anthers contiguous, 2 mm long, hyaline after anthesis, 
obtusely rounded at their apices, linear, slenderly lobed at 
their bases; corolla of most of the florets about as long,

Type specimen numbers 11139 and 11904, A. D. E. Elmer, 
Todaya (Mt. Apo), District of Davao, Mindanao, July, 1909. 
Found among the grasses and sedges of cogonals at 
1250 feet altitude or above it. The latter number cited 
was called by the Bagobos ''Dalingling." A small leafed 
and flowered species of a Vernonia was collected with the 
first type number and as I fear was distributed under 
our new name. The mixture should be cited under 11139 3, 
Not quite Blumea sericans Hook.
