124 ERYTHEA. 
in the Synoptical Flora appended to the low and cespitose 
E. integrifolium of the far North, from which it is perfectly 
distinct. 
Eriophyllum croceum. Slender, the several decumbent 
stems 8 to 18 inches high: foliage silky-lanate beneath, 
glabrate above: leaves of narrowly cuneate-obovate outline, 
of thin texture and coarsely toothed or lobed above the 
middle: monocephalous peduncles several, terminating the 
branches: heads hemispherical: bracts of involucre thinnish, 
10 or 12; saffron-colored showy rays about as numerous: 
corolla-tube short, densely hispid: achenes sharply 4-angled, 
the angles toward the base white-callous: pappus of the ray 
none, of the disk of 4 very short and blunt somewhat incurved 
callous points rather than palex. 
A most distinct species of the Amador and Calaveras 
County hills, collected by Mr. Hansen and also by Mr. 
Blasdale. 
Erigeron Blasdalei. Stems a foot high, slender, rigid, 
tufted and decumbent from a ligneous base, equably leafy up 
to the terminal head or corymb of heads: leaves numerous, 
very narrowly linear, plane, 14 inches long or more, minutely 
and sparsely strigose-pubescent: heads 1 to 5, a half inch 
broad or more; bracts of the involucre linear-acuminate, 
imbricated in about 3 series: rays of medium width, very 
numerous, violet: achenes linear, strigose-pubescent but 
very sparsely so, and with lateral marginal rib but nerveless 
on the face: pappus-bristles slender, white. 
In dry rocky soil, on the Stanislaus River, Calif., near 
McCormick’s Bridge, 10 June, 1895, W. O. Blasdale. 
SENECIO TRIANGULARIS, Hook., var. Hanseni. Stems only 
1} or 2 feet high, slender, decumbent at base: leaves smaller 
than in the type, and of less angular outline, the lowest 
somewhat cordate-ovate, those of the middle part of the 
stem deltoid-ovate, the margins of all often merely denticu- 
late: cluster of heads small and dense.
