Luzon, District of Lepaiito, Mount Data (4571 Merrill) November 4, 1905. 

 Abundant in tlie mossy forests at about 2,200 m. 



Another form of this species is apparently represented by No. 4824 Merrill, 

 Mount Tonglon, Province of Benguet, Luzon, November 12, 1905, this number 

 growing under simihar conditions as the preceding, but with the petioles scarcely 

 exceeding the leaf blade in length. No species of the genus has previously been 

 reported from the Philippines, the present species being apparently related to 

 Ainsliaea jiteropoda DC.

 1905; Suyoc to Pauai (4688 Merrill) November 7, 1905: District of Lepanto,

A decidedly interesting addition to our knowledge of the northern element in 

 the Philippine flora, growing in the mossy forests on the higher mountains and 

 ridges above 2,000 m., no species of the genus having been previously reported 

 fr6m the Philippines. The form here referred to Carpesium cernuum Linn, is 

 apparently closest to the vav. glandulosum Clarke in Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 3 

 (1881) 301. 



This exceedingly variable species extends from France to the Caucasus, the 

 temperate Himalayan region, Khasia and Nilgherry Mountains, China, and Japan, 

 also according to Clarke to Java. I can find no record of its having been found 

 in southern China or Formosa althovigh another species, C. ahrotanoiihs Linn., 

 has been encountered in the latter place. 



DICHROCEPHALA DC. 



Dichrocephala chrysanthemifolia DC. Prodr. 5 (1836) 372; Hook. Fl. Brit. 

 Ind. 3 (1881) 245; Forbes & Hemsl. Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 23 (1888) 40(3. 

 Luzon, District of Lepanto, Mount Data (4533 Merrill) November, 1905. On 

 dry grassj' slopes in thin pine forests at about 2,000 m., the second species of 

 the genus to be found in the Philippines. China to British India and tropical 

 Africa. 



EMILIA Cass. 



Emilia pinnatifida Merrill sp. nov. 



An erect, simple or slightl}^ branched lierb 15 to 35 cm. liigh with 

 glabrons or more or less pubescent usually finely lyrately lobed leaves^ 

 the involucral bracts much shorter than the flowers. Stems glabrous, 

 finely channeled. Leaves various, the radical ones sessile or short 

 petioled, 4 to 5 cm. long or less, 1 to 1.5 cm. wide, glabrous or with 

 scattered weak hairs beneath, the lobes irregular, 2 to 4 mm. wide, often 

 extending nearly to the midril), their margins irregularly crenate, the 

 terminal lobe usually larger than the lateral ones ; cauline leaves similar 

 to the radical, sessile, clasping, few, the lower ones as long as the radical 

 leaves, the upper one much reduced. Peduncles 2 to 7 cm. long. Heads 

 1 cm. long, the flowers pink. Involucral bracts glabrous, 1-seriate, T 

 to 8 mm. long, about 5 mm. wide, oblong-lanceolate, ac^ite or slightly 

 acute, about 5-nerved. Achenes when mature nearly 3 mm. long, ob- 

 scurely angled, finely pul)escent; pappus copious, soft, white, about 6 mm. 

 long, minutely scabrid. Cnrollns slender, 7 to 8 mm. long, 5-lobed, the
