New Compositae from New Mexico 



By Edward L. Greene. 



(Plates 33°-334-) 



This paper embodies in brief some results of the critical study 



Mex 



ico in the summer of 1897 ; the special localities being the Sierra 



_ , Mountai 



plains to the west of these ranges. The collector, Mr. E. O. 

 Wooton, made a wise selection in choosing these little known parts 

 of the vast territory of New Mexico as the field of a season's ex- 

 ploring. 



I am not aware that, in the Sierra Blanca, any botanist has 

 preceded him ; and the ground being new, and, as a mountainous 

 district, somewhat isolated from all other groups and ranges of 

 New Mexican mountains, a considerable accession of new plants 



was to have been expected. 



It will be noted, however, that the first of the forms here assigned 

 specific rank, is not new, but heretofore has been imperfectly under- 

 stood, and received as a mere variety of another species..
