This species clearly belongs to the small group of Colombian Eupa- 

 toriums of § Conoclinium of which E. viicrophyllum L. f. is probably 

 the best known and most characteristic species. It differs from E. 

 microphyllum in being a somewhat larger plant with lanceolate leaves 

 cuneate at the base instead of roundish-ovate and cordate. The 

 indument of the stem is also quite different being a very fine sub- 

 appressed woolliness, while in E. microphyUum, at least on the peduncle, 

 the hairs tend to spread widely and are somewhat stiffer in character.
