of a very light yellow; achenes chestnut-brown, strongly 
5-angled and with as many alternating less prominent ribs; 
pappus very copious, soft and deciduous.

the Sierra Nevada, Calif. The type specimens collected by 
myself, in July last, near Boca. 
SENECIO RUBRICAULIS. Seldom a foot high, glabrous, 
glaucescent, somewhat fleshy, the stems and sterile leafy 
shoots from a branching subligneous caudex, the petioles 
and lower parts of stems of a rich red-purple: leaves obovoid, 
coarsely and more or less crenately toothed, about an inch 
long, tapering to the long slender petioles: heads in a close 
terminal corymb: bracts of the campanulate involucre ob- 
long-lanceolate, abruptly acuminate, the midvein evident 
but scarcely carinate: rays few, golden-yellow: achenes 
light-colored, abruptly narrowed at summit, the 10 slender 
ribs subequal, the slightly more prominent 5 scarcely to be 
called angles.

below, erect, 1 or 2 feet high; herbage glabrous througho d 
and the leaves of a thin-membranaceous texture, the radical

eoarsely dentate, 4 to 8 inches long including the slender 
petiole; cauline reduced in number and in size, deeply and 
somewhat lyrately pinnatifid, with a broad and clasping 
base: heads 6 or 8, in a terminal rather condensed umbel; 
involuere 4 lines high, broadly cylindrical, bracts about 
twenty, lanceolate, thin, purple-tipped: flowers saffron-color, 
ligules wanting. ; 
Species of the higher Sierra Nevada, Calif., and rare.
