sabracemose few and small — Apalacliian Mis. 

 of Virginia and Carolina, diflerent from L. 

 hirsula by leaves entire,the loNver 6 to 8 inches 

 long, stem 2 or 3 feet high. 

 *^)952. EuNoxis (Agathyrsus) amabius Raf. 

 ^rnooth, stem subsoiid terete, leaves sessile am- 

 ple ovate acute angular or denticulate, lower 

 base decurrcnt cuneiform, floral oblong suben- 

 tire, branches racemose paniculate pyramidal, 

 peduncles elongate naked, flowers blue, pappus 

 white — Mts. Aile-haTiy, 4 to 5 feet high, leaves 

 4 to 10 inches long, a profusion of pretty blue 

 flowers. I have changed Agathyrsus name 

 already preoccupied for a G. of shells for Eu- 

 noxis an ancient name of l^ettuce, and I give 

 this sp, as a specimen out of a dozen sp. that I 

 possess, the color of flowers and pappus is spe- 

 cific in this Genus. 



953. Narbalia LATiFOLiA Raf. smooth, stem 

 terete flexuose, leaves broad thin petiolate glau- 

 cous beneath subdentate, lower on long petiols 

 deltoid hastate broader than long, trinerve, lobes 

 divaricate deltoid acute, upper leaves ovate acu- 

 minate, racemes axillary, perianthe 5flcre 

 Sparted — in Mts. Alleghanies, stem 2-3pedal, 

 whitish sometimes rubicund, rndical leaves with 

 petiols one f)ot long, leaf 10 inches broad 8 

 long, upper leaves 2 or 3 inches long, flowers 

 white drooping, perionthe incarnate. The pre- 

 vious good name l^arbalia of Cassini adopted 

 by Hooker must prevail over HarpnJijce of 

 Don adopted by Beck later and formed from 

 Horpa a shell. Even the G. must be divided, 

 I give this as an instance of the real Narbalia, 

 of which I have 25 species, those with multiflore 

 perianthe form ray next Genus ; while the Pre-
