 Verbesina Texana Buckley, Proc. Acad. Phila. 458 (1861). 



Not infrequent around Corpus Christi. This plant, a very good 

 species, was reduced by Gray to V. Virginica, in the rather hasty con- 

 demning of the majority of Buckley's Texas species, a great many of 

 which have since been reinstated, and no doubt a number more will be. 

 It is readily separated from V. Virginica by its thick, repand leaves, 

 which have very broad petioles, the hemispherical involucre, and 

 broadly winged achene. In the herbarium of Columbia College it is 

 represented by specimens from Miss Mary B. Croft (40) collected at San 

 Diego, Texas, and by Pringle's 1916 from in a valley near Monterey.
