1^ EASTWOODIA nov. gen. (pi. xxx.*) Heads homogamous, 



discoid, many-flowered, all the flowers fertile. Involucre short- 

 campanulate, bracts narrow, few-seriate. Receptacle hemisphaeri- 

 cal, papillate by the elevated points of attachment of the flowers 

 and their embracing pale«. Corolla j^ellow, tubular-funnelform, 

 shortly five-cleft. Stamens exserted, obtuse or emarginate at 

 base. Style-branches flattened, stigmatic lines marginal, not 

 extending to the tip. Akenes turbinate, obscurely angled, 

 crowned by 5-8 palese. 



Named in honor of Miss Alice Eastwood, curator of the her- 

 ^ barium of the California Academy of Sciences, 



f E. ELEGANS. Sufi'rutescent, nearly glabrous perennial Yz-i 



m. high, branching; stems striate, bark whitish, shreddy in age: 

 leaves alternate, sessile, fascicled in the lower axils, linear-oblan- 

 ceolate, acuminate, i -nerved, minutely and very sparsely sca- 

 brous, somewhat succulent, 2-4 cm. long, 2-4 mm, wide: heads 

 1)^-2 cm. broad, i-^^ high, solitary or loosely C3'mose at the

 long, corneous, with scarious erose tip, caducous, densely 

 glandular below the tip within as are also those of the involucre: 

 corolla glabrous, 6 mm. long, somewhat leathery: stamens and 

 style well exserted; style branches broad, rounded at summit, not 

 appendaged, glabrous within nearly to the tip, hirsute on the
