COMPOSITACE.E.

E/epha/itopus]\iss. Sandy fields near Caguas, Porto Rico (198); 

 mountain woods back of Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas (555); near J 

 Port Antonio, Jamaica (982, 1127); the i-serial unequal pappus 

 bristles, two of which are elongated and twice reflexed, together 

 with the interrupted racemose-spicated inflorescence which gives the 

 plants a far different habit aspect from Elephantopus seems sufficient 

 reason for separating this genus.
