﻿148 Small: Studies in the Botany 



In dry soil or on cliffs in or near the mountains, North Caro- 

 lina and Alabama. Spring and summer. 



Most closely related to Senecio Millefolium, but clearly dis- 

 tinguished by the coarse leaf-segments. The original specimens of 

 this species were collected in Henderson county, North Carolina, 

 by Mr. E. R. Memminger, in 1887. In 1891, in company with 

 Mr. A. A. Heller, I found the plant on Blowing Rock Mountain in 

 northwestern North Carolina. Prof. Underwood and Prof. Earle 

 have given me specimens almost identical with the North Carolina 

 plants from Auburn, Lee county, Alabama, where they collected it

Perennial, the lower parts shaggy with long hirsute hairs. 

 Stems erect, 3-6 dm. tall, mostly simple below, corymbosely 

 branched above, and there naked : leaves mainly near the lower part 

 of the stem ; blades oblong-oblanceolate to oblong, 2-8 cm. long, 

 slightly apiculate, shaggy pubescent on both sides, sessile or short- 

 petioled: corymbs mostly with 4-10 heads: peduncles slender, 

 glandular-pilose : bracts of the involucres narrowly linear or nar- 

 rowly linear -lanceolate, 8-10 mm. long, scarious-margined, acute : 

 rays yellow': pappus silvery white: achenes spindle-shaped, 4.5 

 mm. long, sharply ribbed, granular. 



In sandy soil, Florida. Spring. 



Related to Hieracium Gronovii, but with a habit suggesting 

 that of H. Mariamnn. In place of a narrow panicle we find a 

 corymbose inflorescence. The heads are much larger than those 



H. 



The achenes are 



much larger and surmounted by a silvery -white pappus which is
