A FASCICLE OF NEW COMPOSITÆ. 57 
GAILLARDIA FASTIGIATA. Biennial, 2 feet high, rigidly erect, 
simple below, branching only fastigiately toward the summit, 
the branches short, leafy up to the large subsessile héad : herbage 
green, scabro-puberulent : lower leaves not known, those of the 
upper portion of the stem and of the flowering branches linear- 
oblong, acute, entire or with here and there a tooth: receptacle 
- alveolate, but neither chaffy nor bristly: rays rather short, 
coppery-red and yellow: disk-corollas with long cylindric throat 
and dark-red subulate-filiform segments: pales of the pappus 
lanceolate, each tapering to a long slender awn of nearly its own 
length, the whole almost equalling the corolla: achenes densely 
villous, 
Sapulpa, Indian Territory, 6 Oct., 1894, B. F. Bush, nn. 324 
and 326 of his set as in my herbarium. Very unlike G. /anceo- 
lata, the name on the labels. 
GAILLARDIA LUTEA. Of the size and somewhat the habit of 
the last, but more cinereously scabrous, the lanceolate cauline 
leaves obtuse and coarsely serrate as are also even those of the 
flowering branches, but these branches elongated, erect, ending 
in a quite distinct naked peduncle under the large head: recep- 
tacle not alveolate but developing a few short stout bristles: 
ray-corollas long and conspicuous, light-yellow, deeply trifid 
and tapering to a long slender base; disk-corollas yellow, the 
long tube cylindric, the segments shorter and more strictly subu- 
late than in the last; pappus the same. 
Malden, Missouri, 21 Aug., 1894, B. F. Bush, n. 177; also 
distributed for G. /anceolata, a species thoroughly unlike either 
of these by its short ventricose disk-corollas, and its habit of 
branching freely, forming a broad bushy though loose tuft, nor 
does it extend to the range of these proposed new species. 
LACINIARIA ELONGATA. Stem slender, a yard high, from a 
root that is long and subcylindric or somewhat fusiform rather 
than tuber-like: leaves all deep-green, glabrous, only obscurely
