\'d'2 Pollard — New Species of Xorth Aiitirican Planfs. 



campanulate; bracts ovate-lanceolate, more or less herbaceous,, glandu- 

 lar, the innermost longest: rays bright yellow, linear, 1 cm. long: pap- 

 pus copious, yellowish-white, tJie outer series of bristles very short and 

 capillary, the inner minutely setulose: achene 2 mm. long, fusiform, 

 slightly compressed, villous, with S-IO salient longiUulina] ribs: recepta- 

 cle strongly alveolate. 



Type in U. S. National Herbarium, collected by Miss Marie ]\Ieislahn 

 at Clarcona, Florida, (No. 150), and communicated by Mr. A. J. Pieters, 

 who has kindly placed in my hands for determination a large collection 

 of Florida plants. This Chrysopsis differs from ('. pifoxti (Walt.) Britton 

 (('. (/iisxiipiiiK Nutt.) to which it is most nearly related, by the broad 

 involucral bracts and many-ribbed achenes. lis involucre is so strikingly 

 peculiar for his genvis that were it not for the similarity of other str\ic- 

 tural characters the plant might be considered a distinct generic type. 



Solidago Maxoni u. sp. 



Slender, erect, l-\ m. liigli. tlie slem slriale-groo\ed and ghiiidular- 

 pubescent, particularly above: leaves 5-7 cm. in length, thin, 1-nerved, 

 slightly glandular-pubescent above, iiale and glabrous beneath, the 

 margins entire or exhibiting an occasional serration, lanceolate in out- 

 line, acute or acuminate at apex, tapering at base to a short maigined 

 petiole: lowermost leaves similar in shape, but slender-petioled; upper- 

 most smaller and linear-lanceolate: inflorescence thyrsoid-paniculate, 

 elongated, 2-3 dm. long, the branches numerous, each bearing from !> to 

 12 slender-pedicelled heads, the pedicels and branchlets densely strigose- 

 pnbescenl : heads small (5-7 mm. high) the involucre campanulate, with 

 numerous loosely imbricated herbaceous or somewhat scarious obtuse 

 and ciliate-margined bracts: rays about one-half the length of the inner 

 bracts; achene linear, laterally compressed, glabrous. 



Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, No. 357,109, collected on Bald 

 Knob, Salt Pond Mountain, Virginia, by Charles L. Pollard and William 

 II. Maxon, August 25, 1899 (No. 71). This Solidago is related to N. ukui- 

 tirolK, of which typical specimens were secured from the same region. 

 The marked glandular pubescence, nearly entire leaves and different 

 type of inflorescence are characters which have warranted its separa- 

 tion. I have taken pleasure in naming it for my companion and asso- 

 ciate. Mr. Maxon.
