Hab. Summit of the Cordillera of Pillaro, Quitinian Andes, 

 elevated 14—15,000 feet above the level of the sea. Prof^ 

 W. Jameson, 

 This curious Composita is very different from the Baccharis 



thyoides^ Pers., finjured and described in the second volume of 



my Botanical Miscellany^ p. 224. L 94. The older branches are 

 much more densely clothed with leaves than in that species, 

 and exhibit none of the woolly covering: the leaves too are 

 thrice as large, far more densely imbricated, more compressed 

 and very acutely carinated : nor is the surface in the slightest 

 degree wrinkled, nor does it appear viscid or glossy.
