Coreopsis | LXXI, COMPOSITE. 585 
Gotunco ALtTo.—A herb, 3 to 5 ft. high; stem simple below, 
branched from the middle to the apex ; leaves lobed after the fashion 
of Franseria artemisioides Willd. ; flowers orange-yellow, handsome. 
In moist sandy reed-beds between Camilungo and Canatilo, by the 
Ambaca road; fl. beginning of April 1856. No. 3532. 
Punco Anponco.—A rigid herb, 18 in. high, sparingly hirsute, 
root apparently annual, somewhat woody; branches opposite, di- 
varicate. At Luxillo, without either fl. or fr. Feb. 1857. A poor 
specimen, resembling this species. No. 3533. No notes. Fl. No. 3534. 
Huriia.—Flowers yellow. In wooded meadows between Eme and 
lake Ivantala, rather rare ; fl. Jan. 1860. No. 3530. At the outskirts 
of the forest near the lake Ivantala in bushy meadows amongst tall 
herbs by the river Cacolovar; fil.-bud Feb. 1860. Also near the 
Lopollo stream. No. 3531. 
The above specimens do not agree perfectly with the type, and, 
if correctly referred, extend the character of the species to include 
bipinnatisect foliage; Nos. 3531 and 3532 have markedly hispid 
stems. 
2. C. speciosa Hiern, sp. n. 
An erect robust smooth herb, with the aspect of a Chrysan-

or biennial or lasting for several years, branched towards the 
apex, glabrate below; stem straight; branches opposite or 
alternate, more or less quadrangular, erect-patent, thinly 
pubescent upwards; leaves mostly opposite, tripartite or un- 
divided, ovate in outline, apiculate and obtuse or scarcely acute 
at the apex, petiolate or subsessile, rigidly membranous or 
coriaceous, deep-green, glabrate or beset with very short hispid 
or strigulose hairs on both sides, coarsely and unequally dentate 
with narrowly revolute or cartilaginous margins and apiculate 
teeth, 2 to 5 in. long by 1 to 3 in. broad or larger; petioles 
flattened, sheathing at the base, connate, ranging up to 1 in. 
long ; the lobes ovate or elliptical, the terminal one the largest, 
the lateral ones spreading ; capitula heterogamous, radiate, very 
large, 3 to 4 in. in diameter,'? to ? in. high, solitary and terminal 
or singly terminating the stem and branches together forming 
open somewhat leafy terminal cymes, the peduncles ranging up 
to 4 in. long (or longer and furnished with leaf-like bracts) ; 
involucre about 1 in. in diameter; the scales biseriate or sub- 
triseriate, broadly lanceolate or lanceolate-oblong, suberect, 
rather thick, loosely imbricate, rather exceeding the disk-florets, 
more or less beset on the back with short broad-based hispidulous 
hairs; flowers golden-yellow, very handsome; outer florets

appendaged at the apex, minutely sagittate at the base, scarcely
