 acutis vel aciiminatis ; ligulis 15 - 20 tubo sub-brevioribiis flores disci 

 5-10 vix superantibus stylis plerumque longioribus ; acheniis obovato- 

 oblongis parce hirtellis vel glabratis quadricostatis, costis marginalibus 

 calloso-incrassatis, facialibus angustioribus nunc fere obsoletis raro 

 geminatis ; pappo uniseriali. — Kaala Mountains, Oahu. 



Var. ? ARBUSCULA : foliis secus ramulos ultiinos confertissimis rigi- 

 dioribus angustioribus nunc fere filifornaibus ; pedunculis abbreviatis ; 

 capitulis paucioribus majoribus. — On the Great Crater of the eastern 

 part of Maui, Sandwich Islands. — This would naturally be taken for a 

 distinct species, and may prove to be so. The heads are decidedly 

 larger than those of V. Chamissonis, being three lines in diameter, and 

 the flowers more numerous, but similar. 



V. CONSANGUINEA (sp. nov.) : fruticosa, corymboso-ramosissima, gla- 

 bella ; ramulis usque ad apiceni foliosissimis ; foliis lineari-lanceolatis 

 sen lineari-spathulatis basi attenuatis et subciliatis integerrimis (raro 

 1 - 2-dentatis) ; pedunculis brevibus coryrabosis mono - oligocephalis ; 

 capitulis parvis (2 lin. longis) ; involucri pluriseriali squamis lineari- 

 oblongis obtusissimis scarioso-marginatis, margine creberrime denticu- 

 lato-ciliato ; ligulis 25 - 30 tubo suba^quilongis flores disci ada'quan- 

 tibus ; acheniis V. Chamissonis sed glabris. — Sandwich Islands, on 

 Hawaii and the mountains of Kauai. jNIuch resembles the preceding, 

 but the involucre is more imbricated, its scales broader, very obtuse, 

 and bordered with a more definite scarious margin, which is fringed 

 with fine and close denticulations : the ligules are more numerous. 



V. ARKNARiA (sp. nov.) : suffruticosa, laxe ramosa, hirtella ; ramis 

 usque ad apicem foliosis ; foliis lanceoh^tis seu oblongo-laiiceolatis basi 

 attenuatis hirto-ciliatis integerrimis mucronatis ; capitulis (3 lin. dia- 

 metr.) breviter pedunculatis corymbosis ; involucri squamis linearibus 

 acutis submembranaceis ; ligulis plurimis (30 - 35) tubo brevioribus 

 flores disci 5-9 subaequantibus ; acheniis oblongis quadricostatis hirsu- 

 tulis seu glabratis ; pappo uniseriali, setis innequalibus. — Sandwich 

 Islands, on sand-hills of Maui, and district of Waimea, Hawaii. 



V. CONYZOIDES (sp. nov.) : fruticosa, ramosissima, cinereo-pubescens ; 

 ramulis usque ad apicem foliosis ; foliis angusto-lanceolatis basi longe 

 attenuatis integerrimis membranaceis ; capitulis minimis compluribus
