 late, of appressed imbricated bracts, the outer ones shorter; achenes oblong or 

 obovoid, slightly compressed; pappus none. 



KEY TO THE SPECIES. 



Leaves glabrate, green; heads rather few, loosely corymbose, 6 to 7 



mm. high, long-pedunculate 1. A. laxiflora. 



Leaves densely arachnoid; heads numerous, in a dense corymb, 

 about 4 mm. high, short-pedunculate.

1. Achillea laxiflora Pollard & Cockerell, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington 15: 179. 1902. 

 Type locality: Sanclia Mountains, New Mexico. Type collected by Miss Charlotte 



C. Ellis in 1900. 



Range: Mountains of northern New Mexico. 



New Mexico: Sandia Mountains; Carrizo Mountains (Standley 7379). Transition 

 Zone. 



The type of the species is a mere fragment, consisting of the terminal portion of a 

 branch with two small leaves. The plant from the Carrizos seems to be the same, 

 although the inflorescence is composed of more numerous heads in a denser corymb. 

 The latter plant grew in oak thickets among pine trees. It is from 80 to 100 cm. high, 

 with numerous large, broad, bright green leaves, the upper ones but little reduced. 

 The leaf segments arc widely spaced on the rachis, not crowded as in A. lanulosa, and 

 they are much larger than in that species.
