52 ROBINSON. 



acute at base, slightly revolute and obscurely crenulate (at first sight 

 entire), above glabrous but finely buUate-rugulose, beneath closely 

 cinereous-tomentose, feather-veined (the veins 22-28 on each side, some- 

 what darker than the rest of the surface), about 9 cm. long, 1.5-2.5 cm. 

 wide; petiole about 8 mm. long; corymbs terminal, few-headed, rather 

 dense, 3-5 cm. in diameter, convex; heads about 25-flowered, short- 

 pedicelled; involucre several-seried, subturbinate-campanulate; scales 

 acute, ciliate; achenes roughened on the angles. — Prod. v. 161 (1836). — 

 HuANUCO: near the city of the same name, Haenke (DC, phot. Gr.). 

 The locality was cited by DeCandolle under the unrecognized name 

 " Huanaceria," but it seems probable that this was a mere misreading 

 of Huanuco, formerly spelled Huanacco, where Haenke did much of his 

 work. The species is closely related to E. persicifolium HBK., but the 

 leaves are cuneate at base, more decidedly discolorous, and nearly 

 entire. 



15. E. Salvia CoUa. Shrub 8-10 dm. high, somewhat sticky on the 

 younger parts; branches subterete, somewhat ribbed (when dried), 

 purplish-brown to buff, at first grandular-puberulent, soon glabrate, 

 ascending, usually very leafy, terminating in compound round-topped 

 corymbs; leaves (often proliferous in the axils) lanceolate, gradually 

 narrowed from below the middle to a sharp point, irregularly dentate 

 (teeth small, obtuse or merely acutish), of firmish texture but rather thin, 

 feather-veined, rounded or obtusish at base, above glabrous and buUate, 

 beneath finely reticulated, paler, more or less arachnoid-puberulent but 

 often nearly or quite glabrate and pale-green, 5-8 cm. long, 1.5-2.4 cm. 

 wide; petiole 2-8 mm. long, slender; corymbs 3-8 cm. in diameter, 

 somewhat peduncled (i. e. uppermost leaves reduced and bractlike); 

 heads 16-19-flowered, 1.3 cm. high, 8 mm. in diameter, pedicelled; 

 involucral scales 16-20, graduated, 2-3-seriate, partly purplish-tinged, 

 the outer ovate, somewhat viscid-pubescent, the inner lance-oblong to 

 linear, nearly glabrous, finely nerved; corollas purple, 6 mm. long, 

 glabrous; achenes 4.3 mm. long, slender, obscurely puberulent, with 

 dark concave faces and lighter-colored ribs, 4.3 mm. long; pappus- 

 bristles about 46, often purple-tinged. — Mem. Tor. xxx^'iii. 8 (1835);

16. E. tahonense Hieron. Suffruticose, attaining 1 m. in height;

 long, the upper as much as 7 cm. in length; leaves opposite, ovate,
