PoUurtl Xno SfHTiey of .\<>rtJ/ Antn'inut Plants. 



campanulate; bracts ovate-lanceolate, more or less berbaoeoTis,, glandu 

 lar, the innermost longest: rays bright yellow, linear, 1 .cm. long: pap 

 pus copious. yellowish-white, the outer series of bristles very short and 

 capillary, the inner minutely setulose; achene 2 mm. long, fusirorni. 

 slightly com])ressed ) villons, wit h 8-10 salient longit udinal ribs: recepta 

 cle strongly alveolate. 



Type in IT. S. National Herbarium, collected by Miss Marie Meislalm 

 at riarcona, Florida, (Xo. 150), and communicated by Mr. A. .1. I'ieters. 

 who has kindly placed in my hands for determination a large collection 

 of Florida plants. This Chrysopsis differs from C. pil<t (Wait.) Uritton 

 (C. ffoMMt/pimi Nutt.) to which it is most nearly related, by the broad 

 involucral bracts and many-ribbed achenes. Its involucre is so st rikingly 

 peculiar for his genus that were it not for the similarity of other struc 

 tural characters the plant might be considered a distinct generic type. 



Solidago Maxoni n. sp. 



Slender, erect,' ^-1 m. high, the stem striate-grooved and glandular- 

 pubescent, particularly above; leaves 5-7 cm. in length, thin, 1-nerved. 

 slightly glandular-pubescent above, pale and glabrous beneath, the 

 margins entire or exhibiting an occasional serration, lanceolate in out 

 line, acute or acuminate at apex, tapering at base to a short margined 

 petiole; lowermost leaves similar in shape, but slender-pet iolecr; upper 

 most smaller and linear-lanceolate; inflorescence thyrsoid-paniculate, 

 elongated, 2-3 dm. long, the branches numerous, each bearing from 3 to 

 12 slender-pedicelled heads, the pedicels and branchlets densely strigose- 

 pubescent; heads small (5-7 mm. high) the involucre campanulate, with 

 numerous loosely imbricated herbaceous or somewhat scarious obtuse 

 and ciliate-margined bracts; rays about one-half the length of the inner 

 bracts; achene linear, 'laterally compressed, glabrous. 



Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, No. 357,109, collected on Hald 

 Knob, Salt Pond Mountain, Virginia, by Charles L. Pollard and William 

 R. Maxon, August 25, 1899 (No. 71). This Solidago is related to K nmn- 

 tiroltt, of which typical specimens were secured from the same region. 

 The marked glandular pubescence, nearly entire leaves and different 

 type of inflorescence are characters which have warranted its separa 

 tion. I have taken pleasure in naming it for my companion and. asso 

 ciate, Mr. Maxon.
