298 PITTONIA. 
ceous-tipped, not in the least resiniferous or glutinous: 
rays broad, oblong, obtuse, not toothed at apex: pappus- 
bristles subulate-aristiform, very acute, barbellulate. 
Vieinity of Laramie, Wyoming, and at Sherman, therefore 
also a subalpine species; and very distinct from all others 
by its low involucre of few and broad bracts. No other rec- 
ognized species of Grindelia, except G. latifolia of southern — 
California, is destitute of that gumminess so generally char- 
acteristic of the genus. 
Senecio BERNARDINUS. Tufted perennial } to 1 foot high, 
with hoary-tomentose herbage: the crowded leaves of the 
short caudex subcoriaceous, persistent through the winter, 
glabrate, of round-obovate outline, seldom 4 inch long, op 
slender petioles of more than an inch ; lower cauline cuneate- 
obovate, the upper spatulate, all with a few coarse teeth at 
least at the obtuse apex: heads nearly 4 inch high, 3 to 7 
in a corymb; involucre nearly cylindrical, its 12 to 15 rather 
broad lanceolate bracts floecose-tomentose: rays rather ample 
and showy, yellow. : 
At an altitude of 6500 feet on the San Bernardino 
Mountains, southern California, S. B. Parish; always dis- 
tributed as S. Neo- Mexicanus. 
SENECIO CONDENsATUS. Stems solitary, stout and low, 
very leafy, 4 to 6 inches or rarely almost a foot high ; herb- 
age somewhat succulent, sparsely flocculent when young: 
lower leaves almost as long as the stem, spatulate-obovate, 
the upper oblanceolate, all obtuse, crenately or more sharp. y 
dentate: heads 3 to 6, more than } inch high, closely sessile 
in a large cluster among the upper leaves: bracts of the de- 
cidedly flocculent involucre lanceolate, acuminate; rays 
either wanting or few and deep yellow.
