densifiorum, belongs here.

T. lanatum var. denudatum A. Gray, Syn. Fl. 2: 459. 1886. 
According to Vasey this “ differs from 7. /anatum in the shorter 
and broader leaves, longer and more slender thyrsus, with cymules 
more open and much ‘less woolly ; flowers smaller and filaments 
shorter.” Dr, Gray simply states “with the wool remarkably 
short.” In all the specimens examined the flowers were scarcely 
half the size of 7: lanatum, and the wool much less conspicuous. 
7. lanatum ranges from Monterey County to Orange County. 
In the southern portion of its range it is confined to the foothills 
toward the coast. 7° Parishii, according to specimens at hand, is 
confined to the dry interior foothills, extending over to the desert 
slopes. It ranges from Acton, Los Angeles County, to the 
Mexican boundary, and probably southward into northern Lower 
California. 
” Gutierrhezia bracteata sp. nov. 
Suffrutescent, much-branched above, about 6 dm. high; 
branches slender, strongly striate, granular-scabrous ; leaves at 
flowering time few, becoming reflexed, 1 mm. wide, 15-40 mm. 
ong, very sparsely short scabrous, obscurely punctate, those of 
the strictly divaricate branchlets rather numerous, short and bract- 
ike ; heads solitary, terminating the ultimate branchlets ; involu- 
‘res turbinate-campanulate, 5 mm. high; involucral bracts in 3-4 
Series, obovate, very obtuse, with greenish tips; rays usually 8, 
nearly 2 mm. broad; disk-flowers 7, 4 mm. high, including the 
achene ; pappus-scales obtuse, finely striate, ciliate on the margin. 
This species is easily separated from all other members of the 
genus by its decidedly divaricate, bracted branchlets. Its affinities 
are perhaps with G. divergens Greene, from which it is distinguished 
net only by the character of its branchlets but by its larger and 
broader heads.
