By examining the type specimens I have been able to state 

 the identity of the synonyms cited above. V. Ottonis Sch.- 

 -Bip. was based upon a specimen with very small heads and 

 rounded, tomentose leaves, V. Grisebachii Sch.-Bip. represents 

 a form with larger heads and more narrowed, thinly tomentose 

 leaves. 



In the Copenhagen Herbarium there is a specimen collected 

 by Liebman, labelled: Mexico: Dep. Oaxaca, Oct. 1842, Lieb- 

 m an" n. 356. The locality is clearly an error, and since Lieb- 

 man also collected in Cuba, the specimen may have originated 

 from that island.
