i A STUDY OF EUTHAMIA. See i 
Common in sandy lands from toward the sea to some distance 
inland, from Connecticut to Florida. Most beautiful specimens 
have been distributedfrom the Biltmore Herbarium, under the 
name Solidago tenuifolia ; and the plant, being doubtless Mich- 
aux’s var. minor, was included by Pursh in his species ; though 
this, and that which I have left to bear the Purshian name, are 
not at all intimately related. 
E. MIcRocEPHALA. Dimensions of Æ. minor, or rather 
smaller: cauline leaves nearly 3 inches long, narrowly linear, 
acute, punctate and glutinous, the margins, and often the mid- 
vein beneath, beset with short stiff serrately disposed hairs; 
heads very small, of only half the size of those of E. minor, 
and the involucres more glutinous. 
Plant of the interior districts of Georgia and the Carolinas; 
well differentiated from the low country Æ. minor by its serru- 
late scabrous leaf margins and midvein and its minute involu- 
cres, I have seen specimens only in the U. S. Herbarium, the 
best one being from a dry field near Leslie, Sumpter Co., 
Georgia, 6 Sept. 1900, by Roland Harper. There is also an im- 
- mature one from Aiken, S. Carolina, by Ravenel in 1869; and 
this, though with the same habit and small heads, is distinctly 
more roughly-pubescent than Mr. Harper’s mature one, which, 
by the way, may well be designated as the type. . 
E. MICROPHYLLA. Also related to Æ. minor, but taller and 
stouter, 2 feet high more or less, much more compact in habit, 
the stem glabrous and, at flowering time, wholly divested of the 
primary foliage; only the branches and branchlets of the dense 
fastigiate corymb leafy, these sharply angled, the angles hispidu- 
lous, and all clothed with small linear spreading or recurved 
leaves an inch long or less, dark-green, punctate and sparsely 
Scabro-hispidulous: heads much narrower than in Æ. minor and 
elongated, their few bracts slightly green-tipped, very glutinous: 
rays 5 to 8, long and rather conspicuous. ae 
This rather elegant Huthamia, remarkable for the densely
