PLANTE FENDLERIANRE. s 
F 
the Arkansas; Aug. to Sept. (386.)— This is a very showy plant in cultivation. From 
Texan seeds sown in the spring, it flowers in the autumn as an annual. 
358, GRINDELIA squarRosa, Dunal. Moist meadows, &c., along Santa Fé Creek; 
June to Aug. (390.) — The lowest leaves are incisely pinnatifid in some specimens.* 
359, HererorHeca scasra, 8. Nuva, Torr. § Gray, Fl. 2. p. 251. Low prairies 
on the Cimarron; August. (392.) — H. '(Cheetactis) Chrysopsidis, DC., described 
from specimens gathered by Berlandier at Saltillo, has also been copiously collected by 
Dr. Gregg at the same place. Dr. Gregg’s specimens considerably resemble H. scabra, 
8.: some of the ray-flowers bear a deciduous, paucisetose pappus, while others are desti- 
tute of pappus. | 
360. Curysopsis vittosa, Nuit. Rocky and sunny hill-sides, valley of Santa Fé 
: Creek; June to Aug. (391.)— The C. villosa, 8. minor, Hook. Pl. Geyer, in Lond. 
Jour. Bot, 6. p. 244, appears to me to be C. hispida. 
+361, C. canescens, Torr. § Gray, Fl. 2. p. 256, passing into C. foliosa, Nutt. 
Dry prairies, Santa Fé to the Cimarron ; July to Sept. (391 b.) — Numerous specimens 
from recent collections seem entirely to connect C. canescens, C. foliosa, and C. mollis. 
The exterior pappus is abundantly manifest in most specimens. 
* Of Mr. Bentham’s genus Perityle (in Voy. Sulph. p. 23 §- 119. t. 15), there are the following unpub- 
lished species in Coulter’s Californian collection ; some of which, unlike the original species, have alternate 
leaves, and therefore agree better with Asteroidee. 
PerityLeE ACMELLA (Harv. & Gray, Pl. Coult. ined.) : subglabra; caulibus elongatis decumbentibus ; 
ramulis inyolucrisque minute glandulosis ; foliis plerisque alternis ovatis trifidis, superioribus interdum hastato- 
trilobis ; lobis lanceolatis oblongisve acutis ; receptaculo plano ; ligulis oblongis discum vix superantibus; ap- 
pendicibus styli oblongo-lanceolatis acutis ; pappi aristis 2 scabris tubum corolle subeequantibus achenio oblon- 
go marginibus valde hispidi-ciliato dimidio brevioribus.— Spilanthes Pseudo-Acmella, Hook. § Arn. Bot. 
Beech. p. 150? 
P. terroctossa (Harv. §& Gray, I. c.): suffruticosa ? spithamea, cinereo-puberula ; foliis alternis (an 
semper?) ovatis subcordatis crenato-incisis denticulatis ; receptaculo convexo; ligulis linearibus elongatis (cum 
tubo filiformi 3 unc. longis) ; appendicibus styli fl. herm. attenuato-filiformibus ; pappo uniaristato, arista nuda 
corolla disci gracillima breviore achenio lineari-oblongo marginibus breviter hispidi-ciliato longiore. 
P. prumicera (Harv. & Gray, 1. c.): ramosissima, viscido-puberula ; foliis (ramealibus) parvis alternis 
seu oppositis ovatis oblongisve denticulatis ; receptaculo convexo; ligulis oblongis involucrum excedentibus ; 
styli ramis fl, hermaph. elongatis in appendicem brevem vix dilatatam obtusam desinentibus ; achenio oblongo 
marginibus villosissimo, pilis squamellis pappi longioribus ; arista unica corollam disci equante achenium plus- 
duplo superante apicem versus parce plumosa. — This species seems to be nearly related to P. Californica, 
Benth., which I know only by the published description and figure. The specimens are merely branches, des- 
titute of lower leaves. The heads are only 2 or 3 lines in diameter. The ligules are longer than the tubular 
portion, and much longer than is represented in the figure of the original species. The dense fringe of the 
achenium is nearly as broad as its disk ; and the slender awn is barbellate-plumose.
