Erigeron Forreri, AchcEiogeron Forreri, Greene, Pitt i. 

 155 (188S). Apart from the stoloniferous nature of the stem 

 at base, this plant is of the Phcviiactis group, and near E, 

 Coulteriox salsagiaosas^ though rather more leafy-stemmed 

 than these. 



Erigeron' strigulosus. Achcdogcron Palmeri, Gray. 

 Proc. Am. Acad. xxi. 386 (1886). An Erigeron Palmcri was 

 published by Dr. Gray as early as 1879, 



Erigeron fraternus. Acliceiogeron Cfffinis, Gray, 1. c. 

 There is a Mexican Erigeron affinis of De Candolle.

 El. i. 132 (1884). As his note shows, Dr. Gray could see that

Hre of a rich golden yellow, they are far too numerous and too 

 liarrow for those of an Aplopappns, and the plant is really 

 next of kin — and very close— to the purple-rayed species, 

 E. laa'ita^. Hook. Au Erigeron Brandegei was published 

 by Dr. Gray at the same time with the plant here com- 

 niented upon. 



EfiiaERON STOLONIFER.' Perennial, the briglit green herb- 

 age app ireutly glabrous (but very sparsely pubescent under 

 a lens) ; stem usually solitary, scapiform and monocephalus, 

 3 to 6 inches high ; crown of the root producing a tuft of
