E FLORIBUNDA. Two feet high or more; herbage dark- 
green; stem almost glabrous except toward the summit: leaves — 
somewhat strigose-pubescent on both faces, the midvein beneath 
most pronouncedly so: inflorescence a large very dense fastigiate |

Of this singularly distinct Huthamia only one specimen is i] | 
known to me, and that is in the U. 8. Herbarium. It is said to | 
have obtained from the marshes of Delaware Bay at Port | 
Norris, in Southern New Jersey, in 1890, by J. H. Holmes. 
E. CAMPORUM. With the habit of Z. Nuttallii: nearly, half | 
green a leaves firm, almost coriaceous, narrowly lance-lineat, 
rous, so also the midvein above, but the lower face of the leaf 
florescence somewhat fastigiate, the rameal leaves linear, erect; | 
branchlets and pedicels with remotely scabrous angles: heads 
not densely glomerate; bracts of involucre thinnish, yellow ; 
throughout, obtuse. 
Very distinct species of the Rocky Mountain plains; the 2 
stem whitish, striate but wholly glabrous. The best specimens é 
before me were collected by myself along the Platte River at 
Sterling, Colorado, late in September, 1896. It occurs eastware 
in Kansas, and apparently even to North Dakota and Minnesoi® : 
E. MEDIA. Two or three feet high, slender, almost glabrous |
