high, slightly villous above; involucre campanulate, r.5-2 cm. 

 high ; bracts oblong-ovate, acute, nearly glabrous, often with a rose- 

 colored spot in the middle ; corolla rose -colored; achenes about 1 

 cm. long, as well as the short beak strongly striate. 



In habit and flowers this resembles most A. mirantiaca, but 



is glabrous and glaucous, and the achene with its short beak places 



it in the A, glattca group.

^^Agoseris humilis sp. nov. 



Leaves spreading or ascending, oblanceolate or linear-oblan- 

 ceolate, 6-10 cm. long, entire or denticulate, glabrous or slightly 

 hairy on the short petioles; scape 1-1.5 (seldom 2) cm. high, 

 slightly villous below the head ; involucre 1.5-2 cm. high ; bracts 

 linear-lanceolate, slightly villous-ciliate ; corolla rose-purple, or 

 at first orange; achenes 12-15 mm. long, with a long, scarcely

This is closely related to A. gracilcns, but differs in the low

 altitude of about 2700 m.
