SYNGENESIA FRUSTRANEA 



in a loose, terminal, somewhat corymbose panicle. Leaves of the inmlu" 

 Crum ovate-lanceolate, small, much shorter than the receptacle. Florets of 

 the ray about six, yellow, obovate, three-toothed; of the disk numerous, yel- 

 lowish. Seed four-angied, crowned with a crenate raargm. Chaff of the 

 receptacle obtuse, tomentose at the summit. 



This species such as I have described it, grows abundantly in the western 

 districts of Georgia. In a specimen of this plant sent me by Dr. Muhlen- 

 berg from Pennsylvania, the segments of the lower leaves are all entire, 

 smaller and but slightly acuminate. Do they belong really to the same 

 species? 



Flowers August — October.
