CALIFORNIA. 21 
H. fasciculata, suffrutex ? humilis, subceespitoso-ramosus, ramulis brevibus glaberrimis glaucescentibus. 
Folia alterna, superiora sub pedunculo approximata subfasciculata, in ramis vetustis marcide persistentia, 
omnia longe petiolata, profunde trisecta vel pinnatisecta, laciniis paucis cruciato-divaricatis inter se distantibus, 
ovatis lanceolatisve, inciso-dentatis vel pinnatifidis acutis basi subconfluentibus carnosis enerviis glauco- 
viridibus 3-8-lin. longis, petiolo 1-2-pollicari. | Pedunculi terminales, solitarii, semipedales, nudi, monocephali. 
Involucrum ovatum, fere 4 lin. longum. Squame numerosissime, acutissime acuminate, dorso virides, 
exteriores sublanceolato-lineares breves, interiores lineari-subulatee elongatee, intimee paullo breviores, scariose. 
Receptaculum brevissime alveolatum. Flores tenuissimi, Corolle superne paullo ampliate, dentibus 5 
brevibus conniventibus. Styli rami longe exserti, apice clavati, extus papillosi. Anthere anguste, ecaudate. 
There is no doubt that this plant belongs to the Ageratee of De Candolle, but 
it does not agree with any of the described genera in those minute characters upon 
which they are distinguished among Composite, and still less in habit. The invo- 
lucre is nearly that of Ageratum or Anisocheta, but with much sharper squame, 
and it differs essentially from the former in the pappus, and from the latter in the 
corolla. The pappus is that of some Stevie, but the involucres, and number of 
flowers, remove it at once from them. It is probable that Phania urenifolia, 
Hook. et Arn. Bot. Beech. p. 297, which I have not seen, is a second species of 
Helogyne. The Phania? dissecta, of the same work, has some slight resemblance 
in habit; but the involucre, flowers, and pappus do not appear to me to differ from 
those of Eupatorium.
