nerves indistinct: spike of heads rather loose, 6'-io' long, the 

 campanulate involucres hardly *£ f high; bracts many and imbri- 



cated, oblong but with triangular-ovate acutish and wholly herba- 



ceous but purple tips, the margin. ciliolate ; pappus shor 

 plumose, little longer than the pubescent striate achenes.

 very 



marshy land at 6800 feet in the White Mountains, July 31 

 !4). Plant with much the general aspect of L. spicata, but 

 istinct in the character of its involucre, the bracts of which 

 in Z. spicata are elongated and conspicuously striate, ending in a 

 short rounded and scarious-margined tip. In the new species the 

 bracts are so short and closely imbricated that no striate base is 

 exposed, and the wholly herbaceous and marginless tips are some- 

 what ovate and acute. 



i Aster hesperius Wootonii. 



Plant of ampler foliage than in the type ; inflorescence decid- 

 edly corymbose-paniculate ; bracts of involucre in several series, 

 but nearly equal, the outer herbaceous and slightly broader than 

 the inner, all acute : lower cauline leaves spatulate-lanceolate, 4' 

 or 5' long, the upper narrowly lanceolate, all serrulate, scabrous 

 on the margin : branches strongly pubescent in lines.

1/ Chrysopsis fulcrata. 



Tufted perennial, the stoutish erect stems 2 or 3 high, the 

 whole herbage green, papillose -granular and perhaps somewhat 

 viscid beneath a minute scabrous pubescence, some rather stiffly 

 hirsute longer hairs clothing the stems and leaf-margins : leaves 

 oblong, obtuse, sessile, ascending, only about an inch long, venu- 

 lose : heads rather large, short -peduncled, subcorymbose at um- 

 mit of stem and branches, the involucres subtended and partly 

 concealed by one or more leafy bracts ; proper involucral bracts 

 in few series : rays numerous and large, golden yellow : achenes 

 silky ; outer pappus very conspicuous, of 20-25 linear-acummate 

 paleae. 



Collected at various places in the White Mountains and Organ 

 Mountains at elevations of 6000 to 6500 feet (nos. 5 10, 51 1, 5 12 )-
