490 COocCKERELL: NortrH AMERICAN SPECIES OF HYMENOXYS 
As has been observed in other species, the color of the pappus 
and achene-hairs must not be regarded too seriously, as it some- 
times varies greatly even in the same head. It seems probable 
that it darkens in plants which have been long in the herbarium, 
and perhaps it is affected in some instances by substances used as 
preservatives. 
New Mexico.—1. Santa Fé and vicinity. (Fendler g60= 
Fleller 423.) Also on a creek five miles east of Santa Fé, June 
30, 1846, Wislizenus. The Fendler plant is the type of 7. flort- 
bunda; Heller’s plant differs in the outer bracts ; see description 
of subsp. wéz/is. 
2. Glorieta, 1881, G. R. Vasey. True A. floribunda. In 
1903 I found it abundantly between Glorieta and Pecos, and 
at Pecos. The altitude is about 2000 to somewhat over 2100 m. 
One Glorieta sheet from Vasey, and a sheet from near Santa Fé 
collected by Rusby, show smaller heads than usual, but are true 
fT, floribunda. / 
3. Chama, Baker 607. Three sheets of this examined: rays 
pale, canary yellow; white pappus-scales and achene-hairs in the 
manner of subsp. wéé/is ; stem-leaves longer and broader than in 
typical A. floribunda. Outer bracts united nearly to middle, 
straight-sided, green ; broader and shorter than in Heller’s Santa 
Fé plant. Chama is only just south of the Colorado line. 
4. Galisteo, Dr. J. M. Bigelow, Remarkably short (about 10 
cm. tall), with very numerous fairly large flowers ; pappus-scales 
and achenes light ferruginous ; bracts as in true 7. floribunda. 
5. Grant’s, Jones 4352. Outer bracts like subsp. wtz/zs ; pap- 
pus-scales rather short, these and achene-hairs very pale ferrugi- 
nous. A sheet from mountains west of Grant’s, Aug. I, 1892 
(Wooten), shows plants of the first year. 
6. Santa Fé, Herrick 789. Pappus-scales sordid white, quite 
broad and not very long, the awns much shorter than in F endler’s 
type ; bracts rather in the style of wtilis. 
7. Defiance, C. C. Marsh 227. Basal leaves entire ; achene- 
hairs and pappus-scales ferruginous, the latter not long-awned. 
8. Between Barranca and Embudo, Taos Co., 5g00-6900 ft.., 
May 27, 1887, Heller 3602. Just coming into flower; basal 
leaves divided; rays quite orange; pappus, etc., pale ferruginous.
