ROBINSON. — NEW SPERMATOPIIYTES, CHIEFLY FROM MEXICO. 21 



tomentulosis ; foliis inferioribus petiolatis, sumniis sessilibus ; inflores- 

 centiis terruinalibus coryruboso-cyiuosis toinentosis ; capitulis numerosis 

 8-9 mm. altis heterogamis calyculatis ; involucri campanulat'i squamis 

 ca. 13 lineari-lanceolatis 5 mm. longis acutis nigro-penicillatis ceterum 

 glabratis vel sparsissime tomentulosis ; floribus femineis liguliferis 5-8, 

 corollis glabris, ligulis flavis ; floribus disci ca. 25 ; achaeniis cano- 

 hirtellis. — Barranca below Sandia Station, Durango, Mexico, alt. 2135 

 m., 15 October, 1905, G. G. Pringle, no. 10,105 (type, in hb. Gray). 

 This species has the general aspect of 8. eremophilus Richards., S. c/ii- 

 huahuensis Wats, and S. MacDongalii Heller, but differs from all of 

 them in being tomentulose throughout and in having narrower leaves 

 with mostly simple slender and entire lateral teeth or divisions. 

 y Senecio (§ Tomentosi) loratifolius Greenman, n. sp., herbaceus 

 perennis ; caulibus erectis 3 dm. altis lanato-tomentosis ; foliis alternis 

 elongato-lanceolatis vel subloratis 0.5-1.7 dm. longis 4-12 mm. latis 

 acutis vel obtusis integris membranaceis juventate supra arachnoideo- 

 tomentosis denique glabratis subtus persistenter albo-tomentosis ; foliis 

 inferioribus basi sensim angustatis et subpetiolatis, superioribus sessili- 

 bus et amplexicaulibus ; infiorescentiis cymosis terminalibus ; capitulis 

 paucis 8-9 mm. altis heterogamis calyculatis ; involucris campanulatis 

 tomentosis, squamis ca. 13 lineari-lanceolatis 6-7 mm. longis ; flori- 

 bus femineis ligulatis 8-12, corollis glabris flavis ; floribus disci ca. 

 35 quam squamis involucri vix longioribus ; achaeniis hispidulis. — 

 Mountains near Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, alt. 2133 in., 5 October, 

 1905, C. G. Pringle, no. 13,676 (type, in hb. Gray). This species is 

 related to 8. umbraculiferus Watson, but differs amply in foliar char- 

 acters, especially in having thinner leaf-texture, glabrate upper leaf- 

 surface, and more distinctly amplexicaul upper leaves.
