 conspicuously discolorous; green and, except for a few scattered stellate 

 hairs on the sunken midrib, glabrous above, white and densely stellate- 

 tomentose beneath : in all other characters corresponding well with 

 the type specimen of the species. — Collected by C. G. Pringle in hedges 

 and thickets at San Miguel del Soldado, Vei-a Cruz, altitude 1,850 m., 

 20 April, 1899, no. 8172. 



Galium trtfloruji, Michx. Fl. i. 80. This species, hitherto doubt- 

 fully attributed to Mexico, may now be definitely incorporated in the 

 Mexican flora. Specimens were collected by C. G. Pringle in swamps

Vernonia serratuloides, HBK., Nov. Gen. & Sp. iv. 33, t. 316. 

 Specimens collected by Dr. Edward Palmer in southwestern Chihuahua, 

 August to November, 1885, no. 279, and described by Dr. Gray, Proc. 

 Am. Acad, xxi. 393, as Perezia panieulata, prove upon careful examina- 

 tion to be a Vei'nonia, and moreover, correspond in all essential details 

 with the original description and excellent illustration of V. serratuloides, 

 HBK. Here also may be referred Goldman's no. 156, collected in the 

 Sierra Madre, near Guasarachi on road from Parral to Batopilas, Chi-

 the inner oblong-elliptic, 8 mm. long, half as broad, margins subsca-
