This belongs to a group of which three other species occur in New 

 Mexico, Chrysothamnus pulchrflus ( A. Gray) Greene, C. depressus Nutt., 

 and C. baileyi Wooton & Standley. All of these are much lower plants 

 than our new species, seldom exceeding a height of ."><» cm. C. depressus 

 is found only in the northern part of the State. It has broad leaves 

 which are merely scaberulous, and thin, long-acuminate bracts. Chryso- 

 thamnus pulchellus and C. baileyi, both of which grow in eastern and 

 southern New Mexico, have glabrous leaves and broader, more obtuse 

 bracts.
