NEW OR NOTEWORTHY SPECIES. 101 
of unilateral racemes rather lax: bracts of the involucre in 
few series and acutish, glabrous and conspicuously green- 
tipped: achenes hispidulous. 
Species common along the foothills of the mountains in 
southern and western Colorado; doubtless confused with 
S. nemoralis by Gray, in spite of its excellent character of 
trinervate acute entire leaves, and peculiar habit. It grows 
mostly in large colonies, by its rambling rootstocks, never 
singly or a few stems together, as is always true of S. nemo- 
ralis, nana and Californica. 
SoLIDAGO FASCICULATA. Stoutish, erect, 1 or 2 feet high, 
pale and seabrous-puberulent: leaves small (1 to 2 inches 
long) of firm texture, oblanceolate, eutire or with a few ser- 
ratures, the axils of the middle and upper cauline all bear- 
ing very short densely leafy sterile branchlets: panicle of 
secund-racemiform branches, large for the plant, rather 
compact: heads about 2 lines high; bracts of involucre 
ovoid and oblong-linear, obtuse, nearly or quite glabrous, 
scarcely ciliolate even at the tips: achenes appressed-pubes- 
cent. 
Sapulpa, Indian Territory, 27 Sept., 1895, B. F. Bush; 
distributed for S. nemoralis, but in every way more like S. 
radula, except that the herbage is almost einereous-seabrous. 
CHRYSOPSIS FLORIBUNDA. ‘Tufted stems slender and dif- 
fuse, all paniculately branched from the base and bearing 
numerous small heads: herbage rather densely pellucid- 
glandular, and sparingly hispid, especially on the leaf- 
margins and bracts of the involucre: leaves little more than 
2 half inch long, spatulate-obovate, entire, obtuse, mucro- 
Date: bracts of the small involucres few, in about 3 series: 
Tays few but broad and showy: achenes appressed-silky ; 
paleaceous outer pappus very distinct. 
In deep cañons of the Gunnison River, near Cimarron, 
Colorado, 27 Aug. 1896. A small but showy species, very 
slender, and remarkably profuse in its flowering.
