184 PITTONIA. 
PYRROCOMA CILIOLATA. Slender but rather rigid, decum- 
bent, 2 feet high: radical leaves unknown; cauline ones 
lanceolate, acuminate, broadest at the sessile base, closely 
and rigidly ciliolate from base to apex: heads on slender 
bracted pedicels, forming a loose raceme: involucre hemi- 
spherical, less than 1 inch broad and high, the oblong-linear 
bracts coriaceous, slightly narrowed under the broadly tri- 
angular spreading green tip: rays 15 to 20, short. 
Dry plains at Bakersfield, California, Miss Eastwood. 
Both these species should have been included in the Flora 
Franciscana, the pages of which are now in print and soon 
to be issued. At the time of printing the genus Pyrrocoma 
for that work, I was unmindful of the fact that I had drawn 
up diagnoses of these, long ago, from the specimens existing 
in the herbarium of the California Academy. 
ANTENNARIA NEODIOICA. Stems of the female plant 
slender, about a foot high, those of the male a third shorter, 
very notably and loosely flocculent: stolons short, numer- 
ous, assurgent, leafy throughout: leaves with short broadly 
obovate acute 3-nerved blade and longer ligulate petiolar 
basal part, densely white-tomentose beneath, pale and gla- 
brate above: heads of female plant all distinctly and slen- 
derly pediceilate and corymbose, or often subracemose by 
excessive elongation of the pedicels (13 or 2 inches long) of 
two or more of the heads: scarious tips to outer bracts of 
female involucre very short and obtuse, of the inner long, 
lanceolate, aeutish : achenes short, obtusely 4-angled, rather 
coarsely and obviously granular-papillose : bracts of male 
involucre all very broad and obtuse, or truncate, or even 
emarginate: pappus of male flowers with short abrupt very 
distinctly and evenly serrate terminal dilatation. : 
Plentiful in open glades of the upper Delaware River, 
above Stroudsburg, and near Bushkill, Pennsylvania, asso- 
ciated with A. plantaginifolia, but most distinct from it; 
and equally distinct from A. neglecta, which there grows
