1454 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM 



Eupatorium. " subtriplinervium Klatt;" Pringle, PL Mex. 1899: on 2nd [un- 

 numbered] page; a clerical error for E. septuplinervium Klatt, as explained 

 by Hemsl. in Curtis's Bot. Mag. 134: pi. 8227. 1908. 



Veracruz and San Lviis Potosi; also from the boundary between Michoacdn 

 and Guerrero; originally collected on the " Cuesta grande de Chiconquiaco" and 

 in the woods of Jalapa. 



Shrub with terete stems clothed on the j'ounger parts with dense, sordid or 

 tawny, woolly pubescence, this occasionally reduced to a short puberulence; 

 leaves opposite, ovate to ovate-oblong, sharply serrate to merely cuspidate- 

 denticulate, shortly acuminate, pinnately somewhat 5-nerved from well above the 

 base, 7 to 10 cm. long, 5 to 8 (or 10) cm. wide; petiole 2.5 to 5 cm. long; corymbs 

 dense, convex, 4 to 8 cm. in diameter; phyllaries linear, acuminate, dorsally 

 tomentellous; flowers violet, fragrant. "Xiquite" (Oaxaca, Reko). 



This species has long been in cultivation in different but inconstant forms, 

 much confused as to their naming and in no way clarified by showy though very 

 uaccurate horticultural plates.
