NEw SPECIES OF SOUTH AMERICAN PLANTS 157 
long, 2-4 cm. wide, ovate, rounded to cordate at the base, 
acutish at the summit, coarsely serrate with short and broad 
teeth and narrow acute sinuses, the reticulate venation slender 
soft-hairy beneath and scabrous above. Heads umbellate at 
the ends of the branchlets, solitary on slender peduncles which 
are I to 1.5 cm. long, the heads about 5 mm. long, sub-cylindri- 
cal when young, at length campanulate and nearly as broad as 
long. Involucre narrowly campanulate, about two-thirds as 
long as the disk. Outer scales green and rough-hairy, appressed, 
ovate and obtuse, the inner light-brown, sub-glabrous, nerved 
and obtuse. Rays absent. Disk-akenes 2 mm. long, narrowly 
turbinate, minutely hispid. Corolla-tube 2 mm. long, the lobes 
more than I mm. long, spreading or recurved, their pappus 
extending a little above the base of the lobes. Pappus-scales 
point, strongly serrate acerate above. Scales of the recep- 
tacle nearly equalling the pappus, broadly obovate, finely nerved, 
e summit nearly truncate, strongly 3-toothed, the teeth sub- 
ulate and attenuate and about a fourth of the entire length of 
the scale. Anther-bases obtuse. Style-branches long-exserted. 
strongly recurved. : 
" Common on campo-land below 3,000 feet. Collected 5 miles 
east of Bonda, September to October." (Herbert H. Smith, 
Colombia, No. 524.) The same as Holton's 353 from Colom- 
bia. 
Species near C. Moritsti, but the pappus more slender and 
the leaves different.
