312 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
the manuals or floras until 1891, when Britton in his ‘ Manual’ 
accepted some of the species. 
Wood, in the last edition of his ‘Botanist and Florist,’ in 
1876, gives only A. Eupatoria and A. parviflora, while Tracy, 
in his ‘Flora of Missouri,’ in 1885, catalogues the same 
species, the latter correct, the former including A. pubescens 
and A. rostellata. 
Gray, in the sixth edition of his ‘Manual,’ in 1890, gives 
but two species, A. Eupatoria and А. parviflora, the latter 
correct, the former including all the other species. Eggert, 
in his catalogue,! gives these same two species, A. parviflora 
being correct, but A. Ewpatoria is applied to A. rostellata. 
Chapman, in his ‘Flora,’ describes A. Eupatoria, A. Eupa- 
toria, var, mollis, and A. parviflora, the last two correct, 
the other being A. gryposepala. 
Having thus reviewed the history of the species found, or 
likely to be found, I now present for the Missouri species 
the following key:
