not typical in habit, having been browsed off (my set). It was distributed as 
C. hispida (Hook.) Nutt. 
‘ Chrysopsis scabrifolia, n. sp.—Stems several from a woody 
root, ascending or erect, dark green and subpruinose, simple, or 
branched above, 12-20™ high: leaves small (1-2), nearly 
linear, at anthesis wanting below but crowded above, greenish in 
aspect, but distinctly scabrous with short upturned hairs from a 
pustulate base: heads few, solitary at the ends of the resinous- 
glandular branches, about 1° high: involucral bracts in 4-5 
rows, merely puberulent: rays 20 or fewer: pappus somewhat 
sordid, equaling the disk corollas. 
The specimen upon which this species is based was secured by Mr. Paul 
J. White, in Woods co., Okla., June 29, 1900. It was distributed as C. hispida, 
to which it bears little resemblance and less yet to any other species known 
to the writer. 
The Natural History Survey of Oklahoma, so energetically conducted by 
by Dr. Van Vleet, of the State University, has suffered the loss, by fire, of 
many very valuable collections, among them the plants of which these speci- 
mens were a part. Dr. Van Vleet is again in the field, and it is to be hoped 
that he may once more secure some of the rare species found on his first 
expedition. 
’ Guttierrezia myriocephala, n. sp.— Branching freely from the 
shrubby base, becoming 3-54" high, the grayish branches dis- 
solving into myriads of filiform, green, subresinous branchlets: 
leafless below, trichophyllous above: cymes small, supernumer- 
ous: heads many, small, nearly cylindrical, somewhat glutinous: 
bracts of the involucre linear, acute, in about 3 rows: rays 
minute, 3-4; the disk flowers as many or fewer: pappus paleae 
6-8, broadly linear and subacute. 
he type is no. 8645, secured near Badger, Laramie co., Wyo., in the 
sandy draws of the Platte Cafion, September 3, Igo!. 
/ Solidago scopulorum, n. comb.—.S. mudtiradiata scopulorum 
Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 17: 187; aya. Fl. 2° 5 tas, 
There seems to be no reason for supposing that true S, mu/tiradiata Ait. 
comes within the limits of the United States. The original high northern 
form is said to occur from Labrador and Hudson’s Bay to Behring Strait and 
Unalaska. It is characterized by villous-pubescent stems, few and closely 
glomerate heads with very narrow rays. Tocarry the Rocky Mountain form 
along as a variety of this arctic species can serve no useful purpose.
