usually simple, occasionally with one or two at the base, i to 3 

 inches long, flowers white. Fruit not seen. The leaves have the 

 general outline of C. velutinus but the plant has not the slightest 

 resemblance to that species otherwise. The last season's pe- 

 duncles are persistent, slender, and might in drier situations 

 become thorny. Manti Canyon, Utah, near its mouth on hillsides, 

 June 14, 1895. Dedicated to Rev. George W. Martin a zealous 

 local botanist of Utah. 



Inyonia n. gen. Anthers not tailed, tube funnelform, yellow, 

 tips triangular and short, anthers surpassing the corolla by a 

 line; corolla 3 lines long, flesh-colored, with very short triangular 

 lobes which become purplish with age, about % longer than the 

 pappus; style branches linear, round, obtuse, but little exserted; 

 pappus of several long, flat, very narrow, denticulate scales which 

 are often setiform above, with very many interspersed setae of 

 varying length, all scabrous, persistent and stiff; akenes very 

 hairy with bidentate hairs, rather obpyramidal, 3-angled, not 

 winged, 1 to 2 lines long, black; involucral scales linear, green, 

 3 lines long, scarcely margined, obtuse, appressed, thick, dis- 

 tinct, in one series, with one or more outer bractlike ones which 

 pass into the adjoining leaves. 



Inyonia dvsodioides n. sp. Leaves very many, 6 to 9 lines 

 long, terete, linear, entire, obtuse, rather fleshy, about }4 a line 

 wide, punctate, and resinous, narrowed at insertion, alternate; 

 internodes barely a line long, stems round; a round topped 

 shrub, several feet high, fastigiately branched; heads 5 lines 

 high, single, terminating leafy branches, but general appearance 

 corymbiform, stems gray with close bark. This has the habit 

 of Aplopappus laricifolius, but in other respects is close to 

 Dysodia. Panamint Canyon, Panamint Mts., Cal , 2000 ft alt., 

 in gravel and among rocks. May 3, 1897.
