429«. Aster elodes Torr. it (Jray. 



^'ery abvnidant in boggy ground, ll is time to break tlie habit of call- 

 ing this a variety of A. Noci-lh'lyii. 



*429a. Aster Radula xVit.

Rather common in boggy groinul. Terra Cotta. iiennings, etc. The 

 leaves of this species are not relatively as broad as might be expected. 

 This 1 suspect is wholly or in part the DipJujiappux iiriihdlaliix of earlier 

 record. 



449. Doellingeria infirma (Michx.) Greene. [DiplopuppUK rdniifdliiis 



of Ward's Catalogue).
