‘ Stenotus latifolius, n. sp.—Caudex woody, with numerous 
slender naked branches rising some centimeters above the ground; 
herbaceous stems numerous, slender, leafy,monocephalous, 10-1 5°™ 
high, striate, glabrous but obscurely glutinous: leaves glabrous, 
slightly glutinous, acute or apiculate, 3-nerved and more obscurely 
reticulate-veined; the crown leaves not persistent, small, spatu- 
late and cuneately tapered to a petioled or subsessile base, usually 
not more than 7-12™" long; stem leaves longer, several (5-7), 
the lowest broadly spatulate-cuneate, the upper from broadly 
oblong to lanceolate, usually with tapering base, 2-3°™ long; the 
upper one-third of the stem naked-pedunculate, often with a | 
linear bract: heads 10-12™™ high: the bracts in 3—4 series, oblong, 
abruptly acute, light green with narrow scarious margin: rays 
several, rather short: pappus bristles slender, white, about as 
long as the somewhat angled canescent akene. 
This species has no near relative, but is most nearly approached by S. 
Jatcatus Rydb. From this and all the other species it is at once separated 
y the open naked slender- branches of the caudex which wholly lack the 
enlarged indurated and petiole-sheathed crowns of the other species. This 
also is the only species with decidedly foliose stems, the leaves of which are 
relatively much broader and more herbaceous than in the other species, 
Type no. 1111, by Mr. Goodding, “rock crevices,” mountain slopes, near 
Provo, Utah, June 16, 1902. 
, Sideranthus Gooddingi, n. sp.—Caudex woody, branched, sev- 
eral centimeters high: herbaceous stems slender, 2-3°" high, 
numerous, fascicled, néarly simple, monocephalous or with 
2-3 monocephalous branches, minutely glandular-puberulent 
throughout: leaves linear, spinulose-tipped, 1-3°™ long, 1-2™ 
broad, with a few slender flagellate-spinulose teeth upon the mar- 
gins, rarely with a few short linear lateral lobes: heads about 
1™ high, the disk hemispherical: involucral bracts in 5-6 series, 
very narrowly linear, somewhat greenish and minutely glandular, 
flagellate-spinulose tipped: rays orange-yellow, many, linear: 
disk flowers numerous: pappus bristles scabrous, of several 
lengths, the longest not equaling the disk corollas: akenes softly 
pubescent, broadly linear, not more than half as long as the disk 
corollas. 
Allied to both S. gracilis (Gray) and S. australe iGietna) Rydb, It is
