299. L. punctata, Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am.\. p.306. t. 55. From Cottonwood Creek, 

 of the Arkansas, to San Miguel, New Mexico. (328.) " One specimen had white 

 flowers." 



1 300. L. spicata, Willd. Low prairie, Middle Spring, Cimarron ; August. (299.) 



f301. L. pycnostachta, Michx. Dry prairies, &c, south of Fort Leavenworth: 

 August. (330.) 



302. L. scariosa, JVilld. Council Grove to Fort Leavenworth ; August. (333.) 

 Some specimens exhibit a branched inflorescence. 



f303. Clavigera brachtphylla (sp. nov.) : subcinereo-puberula, herbacea ; cauli- 

 bus humilibus (vix ped.) foliosis ; foliis oblongo-ovatis integriusculis subpetiolatis tripli- 

 nerviis minutim resinoso-punctatis (i unc. longis) ; capitulis circ. 12-floris in ramulos suba- 

 phyllos vel pedunculos racemoso-paniculatos solitariis paucisve digestis ; squamis involucri 

 lanceolatis acutiusculis, extimis brevibus ovatis mucronatis ; acheniis pubescentibus ; 

 pappo breviter plumoso. — Foot of high rocks, two miles east of the Mora River ; Au- 

 gust. (339.) — This species is remarkable for a pappus which is almost plumose to the 

 naked eye, so as to leave as little distinction between this genus and Kuhnia, on the one 

 hand, as there is between it and Brickellia, on the other ; the difference being merely 

 one of degree. There is an undescribed and remarkable species in Gregg's collection. 

 s f304. Kuhnia eupatorioides, Linn. Near Council Grove ; August. (340 and 348.) 

 — Perhaps the species of Kuhnia of De Candolle with pentagonal achenia and plumose 

 pappus may be joined to Carminatia, Mor. $• Sess. ; of which fine specimens occur in 

 Coulter's Mexican collection. 



f305. K. eupatorioides, 7. gracilis, TotT. §• Gray, Fl.2.p. 78. Along the Mora 

 River; August. (342.) 



1 306. Brickellia grandiflora, Nutt. ; Ton. #• Gray, Fl. 2. p. 80 : var. with the 

 leaves unusually prolonged-acuminate. Precipitous side of a ravine, on Rock Creek, a 

 source of the Canadian ; August. (335.) 



307. B. Fendleri (sp. nov.) : glabra, minute scabrida ; foliis suboppositis alter- 

 nisve deltoideo-cordatis acutis grosse dentatis petiolo duplo longioribus, dentibus plerum- 



Clavigera spinclosa (sp. nov.) : fruticosa, ramosissima, glabrata ; foliis parvis confertis lineari-lance- 

 olatis rigidis cuspidatis spinuloso-dentatis ; capitulis 5- 8-floris in paniculas angustas congestis folia exceden- 

 tibus; involucri squamis oblongis mucronulatis ; acheniis pubescentibus; pappo barbellato. — High plain near 

 Chihuahua; April, Dr. Gregg. — A very bushy under-shrub, one to two feet high. The specimens bear the 

 leaves of the preceding year, and the branchlets are covered with naked leaf-buds, just expanding. Leaves 

 crowded or fascicled, alternate, occasionally opposite, one half or two thirds of an inch long, spinulose with 

 from 3 to 6 strong and sharp teeth on each side.
