  Our 
  reasons 
  for 
  making 
  a 
  distinct 
  species 
  from 
  //. 
  Californicum 
  are, 
  that 
  

   the 
  flowers 
  are 
  much 
  larger 
  — 
  stigmas 
  capitate 
  — 
  distinct 
  leaves 
  — 
  two-edged 
  

   peduncle 
  often 
  leafy 
  — 
  glandular 
  character 
  throughout, 
  and 
  calyx 
  segments 
  2 
  to 
  4 
  

   times 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  Watson's 
  species.

  Gnaphalium 
  Nevadense, 
  Kellogg. 
  

  

  Stem 
  perennial, 
  from 
  a 
  creeping 
  rhizome, 
  erect 
  or 
  somewhat 
  ascending 
  by 
  the 
  

   leading 
  floral 
  shoot, 
  cluster 
  branched 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  barren 
  branches 
  secondarily 
  

   clustered 
  about 
  1 
  inch 
  from 
  above 
  the 
  crown, 
  arenose-sating 
  throughout 
  ; 
  

   leaves 
  below, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  terminal 
  tufts 
  of 
  barren 
  branches 
  spatulate, 
  or 
  sub- 
  

   acute, 
  mucronate 
  2-3-nerved, 
  densely 
  arachnoid-tomentose 
  above 
  and 
  below, 
  

   leaves 
  of 
  the 
  ecapoid 
  or 
  proper 
  leading 
  stem 
  linear, 
  acute, 
  mucronate 
  ; 
  3 
  to 
  4 
  

   reduced 
  bractoid 
  leaflets 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  capitate 
  crowded 
  corymb 
  ; 
  heads 
  

   subsessile 
  or 
  on 
  short 
  pedicels 
  ; 
  involucral 
  scales 
  oblong 
  spatulate, 
  obtuse, 
  mostly 
  

   lacerate-dentate, 
  or 
  sub-entire, 
  exterior 
  lanose-tomentose, 
  somewhat 
  herbaceous 
  

   below 
  ; 
  interior 
  oblong 
  scarious 
  pink-tinged 
  ; 
  pappus 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  involucre 
  

   and 
  flowers, 
  dense 
  capillary 
  very 
  soft, 
  white 
  ; 
  achenia 
  sub-glabrous, 
  compressed. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  thought 
  that 
  it 
  cannot 
  be 
  the 
  common 
  G. 
  'purpureum, 
  as 
  it 
  has 
  no 
  " 
  ax- 
  

   illary 
  flowers," 
  nor 
  leaves 
  " 
  tomentose 
  " 
  only 
  underneath, 
  nor 
  are 
  the 
  leaves 
  at 
  

   all 
  "undulate," 
  and 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  "obtuse," 
  "green 
  above," 
  "racemose," 
  or 
  

   "spicate" 
  — 
  indeed, 
  the 
  achenia 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  rather 
  glabrous 
  ; 
  if 
  so 
  considered, 
  

   the 
  description 
  requires 
  much 
  amendment.
