RUDBECKIA L. Sp. PL 906 (1753). 

 Rudbeckia amplexicaulis Vahl. Act. Havn. 2: 29, /. 4 (1783). 



A few plants were found in wet ground on the edge of the Guadalupe 

 at Kerrville, altitude 1600 feet. The parti-colored flowers of this and 

 the next species are very handsome. 



June 13 (1853). 

 Rudbeckia bicolor Nutt. Jour. Acad. Phila. 7: 81 (1834). 



Collected first in San Patricio county (1571), and later at Kerrville 

 along the Guadalupe, altitude 1600 feet, where it was plentiful, in rich, 

 low, shaded ground. 



May 19 (1764); type locality, Arkansas, near the Red river. 



LEPACHYS Raf. Jour. Phys. 89: 100 (1819). 

 Lepachys columnaris (Pursh) T. & G. Fl. N. A. 2 : 315 (1842). 

 Rudbeckia columnaris Pursh, Fl. Am. Sept. 575 (1814). 



At Kerrville, collected along the Guadalupe and at the base of the 

 hills, altitude 1600-1750 feet; common. 



June 13 (1850); type locality, on the Missouri. 

 Lepachys columnaris pulcherrima T. & G. Fl. N. A. 2 : 315 



(1842). 



Very common in waste places about San Antonio, altitude 600 feet. 

 In the " Check List " Dr. Britton has included this under the species, 

 but I keep it separate here, inasmuch as the living plants of the two are 

 quite different in appearance. At San Antonio, where thousands of 

 plants of this are found growing in clumps, only one yellow-flowered 

 plant was seen.' At Corpus Christi, where it is rather common on the 

 plateau, no yellow-flowered ones were seen. It seems to be more gre- 

 garious in habit and stouter than true L. columnaris. 



May 5 (1708). 

 Lepachys peduncularis T. & G. Fl. N. A. 2 : 315 (1842). 



Scattered here and there, in low ground along the beach, at the upper 

 end of Corpus Christi Bay. Heads on a scape-like peduncle, leaves all 

 at the base, thick and fleshy. Ra}s short, brown-purple. 



May 29 (1789); type locality, Texas, in low ground.

[ECHINACEA Moench. Meth. 591 (1794).] 



Brauneria pallida (Nutt.) Britton, Mem. Torr. Club, 5 : 333 (1894).
