 Alismaefolia was only found north of Lake Charles at a place 

 called Kinder, about half way between Lakes Charles and Ales

Coreopsis. 

 The following species of Coreopsis wen- noted: Coreopsis 

 stenophylla Boynton, and whal the writer took to be Coreopsis 

 tripteris. Bui of the latter, Dr. Greene wrote thai ii is very small 

 and delicate compared with the northern forms, and ou<rh1 to i c

 of Lake Charles in dry soil. 



Helianthus. 

 One species of Helianthus was very conspicuous, both by its 

 abundance and striking appearance, which the writer ; »ok to be 

 Helianthus Mollis, and so it was labeled by all the older collectors 

 in Louisiana. But Dr. Greene says that this plant cannot pos-

 have nothing like it from the North or Smith He says thai this 

 plant should he described as a new sub-species. 



Lacinaria. 

 (Liatris.) Several species of Lacinaria were collected, of 



which the writer gives the names with uncertainty: 

 Lacinaria <t<i<l<ita. 

 Lacinaria spicata. 

 Lacinaria squarrosa. 



And a fourth sp.cics. which is entirely unlike any Lacinaria Q< 

 has seen. While the individual heads and flowers are almost ideti 



tied with those of the species which he takes to he Lacinaria 

 acidota, the inflorescence is markedly racemose with each head on 

 ;i bracted pedicel two to six inches long. The write- sent a draw- 

 ing of this species to \)V. E. L. <il lie. hilt has as yet not heard 



from him.
