EUPATOKIUMS OF PERU. 87 



habitat of E. glutinosuvi makes it more than probable that it was 

 there that he obtained the species. Certainly under these circum- 

 stances the fact that Lamarck's label mentions Peru as the place of 

 origin can in no sense be taken as evidence that the plant came from 

 what is now Peru. While it is by no means impossible, nor e^■en very 

 unlikely, that E. glutinosmn may ultimately be found in Peru as now 

 delimited, there is as yet no good basis for its inclusion in the Peruvian 

 flora. 



E. Kimtzei Hieron. in Engl. Dot. Jahrb. xxii. 766 (1897). This 

 species, carefully' studied from a portion of the material originally 

 collected near Cochabamba by Kuntze (U. S.) and in better speci- 

 mens subsequently secured in Southern Boli\'ia by Fiebrig (no. 3150, 

 Gr.), proves to have the anthers destitute of apical appendages and 

 the style-tips rather abruptly thickened, bluntish, and dark. It is 

 unquestionably of the Subtribe Piqucrinae and belongs to Ophryos- 

 yorus § Ophryochacta. When placed in its proper affinity, it has been 

 found to match in all significant details Ophryosporus macrodon 

 Griseb. Abh. Goett. xxiv. 173 (1879), a species heretofore known only 

 from the Nevado del Castillo, Prov. of Salta, in northern Argentina, 

 a locality within about 300 km. of Fiebrig's Bolivian station. To 

 the writer the species appears to have no close resemblance to the 

 well known and widely distributed Eupatorium inulaefolium HBK. to 

 which Hieronymus regarded it most nearly related. 



E. piquerioides DC. Prod. v. 175 (1836), from the mountains of Peru, 

 is Ophryosporus piquerioides (DC.) Benth. ex Bak. in Mart. Fl. 

 Bras. vi. pt. 2, 188 (1876); Robinson, Proc. Am. Acad. xlii. 23 (1906). 



E, SALiciNUM Lam. Enc^c. ii. 409 (1786); Robinson, Proc. Am. 

 Acad. liv. 286, 348 (1918). Although credited to Peru originally 

 by Lamarck and by various subsequent authors (including the writer) 

 following his lead, the type of this species presumably came from 

 northern-central Ecuador, through which Joseph de Jussieu, its col- 

 lector, passed, a region where the plant has since been collected on 

 several occasions so that its presence in some abundance there seems 

 likely. Ecuador had not then been set off as a separate country. To 

 date the writer has found no satisfying record of E. salicinum from 

 within the present limits of Peru. 



E. stramineum DC. Prod. v. 150 (1836). This species, supposed to 

 have been originally collected in Peru by Haenke, has hitherto been 

 represented, so far as known, by a single branch in the Prodromus 

 Herbarium at Geneva. However, there is a photograph of this type 

 in the Gray Herbarium, and this on careful microscopic study proves
