236 PITTONIA. 
succulent, notably strigose-pubescent, especially the inflor- 
escence; lower leaves long and ligulate: racemes loose, the 
fruiting calyces spreading, on short and slender pedicels: 
nutlets minute, broadly ovate, more or less abruptly acu- 
minate, strongly and irregularly wrinkled on the back, in 
no degree tuberculate, the insertion lateral just above the 
base. 
By the same collector and from the same locality with 
the preceding, both having been sent me by Miss Mulford 
on one sheet under the same number (147). This one is an 
ally of A. Californica and A. scopulorum. 
Y SOLIDAGO AUREOLA. Stems erect, a foot high or more, 
sparingly leafy below, the upper one-half with an inter- 
rupted or continuous narrowly thyrsiform more or less 
leafy-bracted inflorescence; herbage green and glabrous, 
only the inflorescence sparingly scabrous-puberulent; lowest 
leaves from spatulate-obovate to oblanceolate, and from 
lightly erenate to subserrate, the cauline lanceolate, acute, 
entire, all of comparatively thin texture: bracts of the 
middle-sized and rather short involucre in about 3 series, 
from ovate-oblong to oblong and spatulate-oblong, all obtuse, 
carinate-nerved, and with thickened green-herbaceous tips; 
corollas of both disk and ray golden-yellow: achenes (imma- 
ture) appressed-pubescent; pappus fine, barbellate-scabrous. 
El Capitan Mountains, southern New Mexico, at about 
8,000 feet, in the pine belt, 28 July, 1900, F. S. Earle. A 
southern homologue of S. decumbens, Greene; differing by 
its thin foliage, narrow and dense elongated inflorescence, 
and golden-yellow rather than light-yellow flowers. 
^ COLEOSANTHUS MODESTUS. Stems rigid and subligneous, 
perhaps suffrutescent, a foot high or more, leafy up to the
