Eupatorium urticaefolium Reichard, var. angustatum (Gray), 

 comb. nov. E. ageratoides L.f ., var. angustatum Gray, Syn. Fl. i. pt. 2, 

 101 (1884). E. angmtatum (Gray) Greene, Pitt. iv. 277 (1901). 

 Kyrstenia angustata (Gray) Greene, Leaf!, i. 8 (1903). 



Eupatorium vitifolium (Sch. Bip.) Klatt, Leopoldina, xx. 90 

 (1884). Hebecliniuvi vitifolium Sch. Bip. ex Klatt, 1. c. To the 

 synonymy of this rare and little known Mexican species may be added 

 Bulhostylis triangularis DC. Prod. vii. 268 (1838) and Carphephorus 

 triangularis (DC.) Gray, PI. Wright i. 86 (1852) ex Hemsl. Biol. Cent.- 

 Am. Bot. ii. 109 (1881). The type-specimens, both of DeCandoUe's 

 and of Klatt's species, are exceedingly fragmentary, yet material is 

 sufficient to show close correspondence in general contour, dentation, 

 size, and venation of the leaf, open divaricately branched panicle.
