NEW OR NOTEWORTHY SPECIES. 849 
A very notable new plant, obtained by Mr. Toumey in the 
Chiricahui Mountains, Arizona, 15 Sept., 1896. It combines 
some of the characteristics of S. Bigelowii and S. Parryi, 4. e., 
the Aplopappus Parryi of Gray, both of which are indigenous 
to the same general region. , 
~> SENECIO Toumeyr. Perennial, the several rather slender 
and subcorymbose scapiform flowering stems 3 to 1 foot high, 
these and the growing foliage white with a villous-lanate 
pubescence: leaves of the short caudex subcoriaceous, per- 
sistent through the winter, glabrate above, hoary beneath 
in age, of spatulate-oblong or -obovate outline, 1 to 3 inches 
long, tapering to a petiole almost as long, the margin va- 
riously erenate or dentate: heads about j inch high, the 
involucral bracts linear-lanceolate, thin, almost silkv-tomen- 
tulose: rays light-yellow, rather broadly oblong and short. 
In the Chirieahui Mountains, Arizona, 20 Sept., 1896, J. W. 
Noumey. Allied to S. Bernardinus (page 298 preceding), 
but with pubescence of quite another character, and the 
foliage widely different. Senecio Neo-Mexicanus is also of 
the same group; though that has lyrate foliage, and is ver- 
nal in its flowering; this being autumnal. 
LOBELIA HIRTELLA. L. spicata var. hirtella, Gray, Syn. 
Fl. ii. 6. Differs from L. spicata not only by the rough pu- 
bescence observed by Gray, but more notably by its copious 
leafiness, pronouncedly callous-dentate foliage, and espe- 
cially by an almost leafy-bracted spike, the lower flowers 
being axillary to leaves which far exceed and often almost 
conceal them: the calyx-lobes not only hirsute-ciliate but 
also distinctly, though minutely, auricled; by which char- 
acter the species is brought into contrast with L. leptostachys 
rather than with L. spicata. 
Here defined in the light of specimens collected by my- 
self on low prairies near Windom, Minnesota, 1 July, 1898. 
It was further noted by me this season, in the field, that 
while the flowers of L. spicata are fragrant, those of both 
L. leptostachys and L. hirtella are wholly scentless.
