in diameter, somewhat elongating in fruit; involucral bracts

tains (Britton 1097, Sept. 3, 1907). 
Apparently recorded by Grisebach as Lantana stricta lilacina, 
but it is not Lantana lilacina of South America. Certainly dis- 
tinct from Lantana stricta.

sides, rather firm in texture, crenate-dentate, the venation im- 
pressed above, prominent beneath, about 4 veins on each side of

rowly lanceolate, pubescent, about as long as the hypanthium;
