1. c. ; Torr. & Gray, 1. c. Here perhaps S. C/jmbalaria, Pursh, Fl. ii. 530. Wet ground on 

 mountains, Wyoming to Brit. Columbia, Oregon, and sparingly in California. The most 

 depauperate form. 



S. Fendleri, GRAY. Very canescent with panuose or floccose wool, in age tardily glabrate : 

 stems rather stout, 5 to 15 inches high, leafy, the larger plants branching: leaves oblong- 

 lanceolate or narrower; radical sometimes almost entire, more commonly like the cauline 

 sinuately pectinate-pinnatifid or even piimately parted, the short oblong divisions incisely 

 2-4-lobed: heads mostly numerous and crowded, small (3 or 4 lines high): rays rather 

 numerous: akenes and ovaries glabrous. PI. Feudl. 108, Pacif. Ii. Rep. iv. lll.&Proc. 

 Acad. Pliilad. 1. c. Dry ground, mountains of New Mexico and Colorado, at 6,000 to 8,000 

 feet, Fendler, Bigelow, Parry, &c. 



S. Neo-MexicamiS, GRAY. More or less canescent with looser tomeutum, in age gla- 

 brate : stems robust, a foot or two high (often from a simple thiekish caudex), few-leaved, 

 simple or often branching above, and bearing loose cymes of comparatively large (often 

 half-inch) heads: leaves thiekish (inch or two long); radical oblong-obovate to spatulate, 

 with cuneate or tapering base, sometimes coarsely few-toothed only at summit, many lyrate- 

 pinnatifid, with few or several pairs of small lateral lobes ; cauline similar or more pinuatifid, 

 and the lobes incisely few-toothed: rays 12 to 16, in larger heads half-inch long: akenes 

 sometimes hispidulous-papillose, sometimes quite glabrous. Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 55. Has

S. Arizonicus, GREENE. Lightly and loosely floccose-woolly when young, early glabrate 

 ami green : stems a foot or two high, sometimes from a thick perpendicular caudex : leaves 

 mainly in the radical tuft, thiekish, ovate to oblong-obovate (commonly 2 or 3 inches long), 

 dentate with mucronate teeth, often with rounded or snbeordate, but some with cuneate base, 

 with or without one or two pairs of small lobes on the petiole ; lower cauline leaves one or 

 two and usually lyrate-pinnatifid, upper very small and bract-like: heads loosely cymose, 

 5 or 6 lines high : rays 9 to 12, conspicuous. Bull. Torr. Club, x. 87. Arizona, Palmer, 

 Prinyle (referred to a form of S. aureus), Rusby. 



3. Leaves all or mainly bipinnately dissected into narrow lobes. Atlantic species. 



S. Millefolium, TORR. & GRAY. Early glabrate : stems slender, a foot or two high, bear- 

 ing a corymbose cyme of rather numerous heads : these 3 lines high : radical and cauline 

 leaves similar (or the earliest less dissected), the very numerous lobes linear-oblong or nar- 

 row (1 to 3 lines long), thiekish : small upper leaves narrow and more simply dissected : rays 

 few, a line or two long. Fl. ii. 444. Sides of precipitous mountains, Xorth and South 

 Carolina, especially at Table Mountain, S. Carolina, and vicinity; first coll. by Fraser. 



4. Leaves mostly once pinnately divided or parted, and again lobed or incised. Pacific species. 



S. Bolanderi, GRAY. Glabrous or early glabrate: stems weak and slender, 6 to 30 inches 

 high from slender creeping rootstocks : leaves thin and membranaceous, mostly petioled ; 

 early radical orbicular, subcordate, palmately 5-9-lobed or crenate-incised ; others pinnately 

 divided into 5 to 9 distinct leaflets, or upper lobes confluent with rounded terminal one, all 

 obtusely incised : heads several, loosely cymose, 4 or 5 lines high : rays 5 to 8, rather long.

S. euryceplialus, TORE. & GRAY. Floccose-woolly when young, sometimes early glabrate : 

 stems robust, 1 to 3 feet high, corymbosely branching above, bearing several or numerous 

 loosely cymose heads : leaves irregularly pinnately parted or the lower divided, radical 

 mostly lyrate ; divisions of the cauline from cuneate to linear-lanceolate, variously lobed or 

 incised, mucronately tipped : heads hardly at all calyculate, fully half-inch high, commonly 

 as broad, but sometimes half smaller: rays 10 to 12, the larger half-inch long. Gray, in
