and the habit of the plant render it a congener of Professor 

 Urban's recently published genus Notoptera, Symb. Antil. ii. 

 465 (1901). In addition to Dr. Gaumer's no. 977, cited in the 

 original publication of the above species, the following is typical.

 and hb. Field Mus.).

In addition to the stations recorded for this species under 



the original description is the following: Hacienda Guadalupe,

A careful examination of a considerable number of specimens 

 representing this species shows a marked variation in the form 

 and size of the outer spreading subfoliaceous involucral bracts. 

 These vary from spatulate to lanceolate or linear and from 

 3 to 12 mm. in length. There is also some diversity in the size 

 of the rays. The following specimens are here referred. 

 MEXICO. State of Vera Cruz: Canton de Cordoba, altitude 

 1200 m., 25 December, 1897, C. Conzatti & V. Gonzdlez, no. 622
