This species is close to Aspilia verbesinoides (DC.) Blake,' also of Trini- 

 dad, of which I have seen authentic material in the Gray Herbarium. The 

 latter species, however, has lance-ovate leaves prominently reticulate be- 

 neath and smaller heads, and the awns of the pappus are present and dis- 

 tinctly longer than the squamellae. Its name-bringing synonym, Gym- 

 nopsis verbesinoides DC, was wrongly referred by O. E. Schulz^ to the 

 synonymy of Wedelia jacquini caracasana (DC.) O. E. Schulz.
