370 NOTE ON CAUMERIS AND 1IETE110PA PITS. 
of Calimeris known to him." But there can be no doubt that C. inle- 
grifolia is a close ally of C. incisa and Boltonia gladifolia, and that it 
has much less affinity with the setipappose plants (§ Asteromeri.% 
Turcz.) erroneously referred by various authors to the genus. The 
transition from the true Asters to the Daisies is effected by Iletero- 
pappm, Boltonia, Brachycome, Belllum, and Bellis papjmlosa, Boiss. ; 
the last-named plant, placed in Bellinm by Kunze, being considered by 
Lange and Willkomm (Prodr. Fl. Hispan. ii. 31) as a mere variety of 
Bellis sylvestris, Cyr. As Boltonia glastifolia has quite undivided 
leaves, the North Chinese species may probably better assume the 
name of Boltonia PeMnensis, which, concurring in Mr. Bentham's re- 
duction, I proposed for it in my ' Adversaria,' than the trivial designa- 
tion applied to it by Turczaninow. 
The following is a verv interesting addition to the Southern Chinese 
Flora : — 
Heteropappus Sampsonia, n. sp. ; dense cinereo-hirsutns, caulibus 
simplicibus vel a basi ramosis supernc corymboso-paniculatis ramulis 
elongatis, foliis elliptico-laneeolatis. calloso-mucronatis subunincrvus 
utrinque tomentosis ciliatis, pedunculis a basi fere bracteis lincaribus 
prseditis, capitulis hemisphaericis 3-5 lineas diametro, involucri squa- 
mis circiter 3-serialibus pilosis apice color ato-mueronat is interioribus 
magis herbaceis, ligulis albis, pappi radii setis albidis brevissinus con- 
natis pappi disci setis albidis uniseriatis subsequalibus scabris apice 
inconspicue incrassatis achaenio castaneo albo-liirto duplo longionbus, 
receptaculo piano alveolato. — In herbidis secus fluvium West River, 
provincise Cantoniensis, Januario 1867, coll. el. Sampson. (Exsicc. n. 
13776.) 
Perfectly distinct in foliage, in its much smaller capitula, and in the 
relative length of the pappus of both disk- and ray-florets, from H. 
hispidus, Less., and H. decipiens, Maxim, (perhaps merely varieties of 
one species), with each of which I have compared it. Prof. Asa trray 
remarks (Mem. Amer. Acad. vi. 394), "The genus Heteropappus ought 
to subside into a section of Calimeris:' It is clear from the descrip- 
tion of his C. ciliata, that he now understands by this name not the 
typical species of Cassini, reduced to Boltonia by Bentham, and which, 
as I have just observed, Dr. Torrey and he had originally also taken as 
the type of Calimeris, but the uniserialor subuniserial capillary-pappose 
plants, which, in my judgment, cannot properly be separated trom
