ACTIMERIS. Gl 



the akin genera with winged stems, and my 

 Cauloma that has naked seeds. It has even 

 2 subgenera, and Anomeris is quite distinct. 



I. OLIGLOSIS Raf. Perianthe uniserial, rays 2 

 to 3, seeds marginate, alternate leaves. 



1. A. SQUARROSA N. Coreopsis alternifolia 

 L. Leaves scabrous, lanceolate serrate. Can- 

 pda to Florida : several varieties ; but the Alba 

 without, rays, is a peculiar Genus ! Anomeris. 



Var. procera, tall, 6 to 10 feet high, flowers 

 paniculate. Coreopsis procera Aiton. 



Var. pauciflora, stem simple, few flowered, 

 leaves lanceolate serrate. 



Var. serrulata. Stem simple few flowered, 

 leaves oblong lanceolate serrulate. the A. pau 

 ciflora Nutal, hardly distinct from the last. 

 Kentucky and Florida. All seen alive. Autikon. 



The A. alata N. of Mexico, with opposite 

 leaves is probably congeneric with Verbesina 

 siegesbeckia my G. Anomantha. 



II. MEGACTELIS Perianthe biserial 10 to 12, 

 seeds hardly marginate, leaves alternate sessile, 

 Perhaps belonging to my G. Cauloma. 



2. A. lielia<nthoides N. Leaves lanceolate 

 acute serrate, hairy beneath, flowers coarctate, 

 perianthe linear lanceolate rays 9. Ohio to 

 Louisiana. Seen alive. 



3. A. ELLIOTI Raf. A. helianthoides, E. Stem 

 and leaves scabrous, ovate lanceolate serrate 

 acute, flowers corymbose, perianthe oval, rays 

 10 to 12. Georgia and Alabama. Stem 2 to 4 

 feet, terete winged, Seen dry. 



ACTISPERMUMRaf. misspelt Actinosper- 

 mum by Elliot, from Actinea \ Balduina mul- 

 tiflora N. differs from Balduina by perianthe 

 biserial not imbricate, perianthe with Ggone 

 Gtoothed cells, pappus simple starlike.
