NEGLECTED GENERIC TYPES. 51 
erect teeth. Styles elongated, their tips long, subterete, 
papillose-puberulent as in Eupatoriaceous plants. Achenes 
apparently prismatie, villous-hirsute, surmounted by a per- 
sistent-pappus of about 12 chartaceous narrowly linear very 
acute pales, their margins delicately ciliolate. 
The genus is dedicated to the memory of Mr. J. W. Van 
Cleve, resident of Dayton, Ohio, in the days of Short, Peter, 
Riddell and Houghton, and a co-laborer with them in the 
field of western Botany. ;

sentative of its genus.

Q. DECEMLOBA. Very slender stem about a foot high, 
simple to the middle, thence bearing a few pairs of short 
simple racemose branches: leaves scarcely a half-inch long, 
setaceous-filiform, acute, scaberulous, ling of sul t 
the lower part of the stem,those subtending the few branches 
more spreading: pedicels about $ inch long, ascending, 
stoutish and firm fora plant so slender: calyx with venu- 
lose tube and short stout teeth: corolla bright pink, less 
than } inch long, more than 3 inch broad, the lobes all 
spreading and obcordate. 
Plant not uncommon about Brookland, D. C., inhabiting 
grassy knolls and hillsides bordering on pine woods ; flower- 
ing in October. The striking peculiarity of the species 1s 
the obcordate character of the primary divisions of the co- 
rolla, giving this organ the appearance of being ten-lobed.
