or KUIINIA. 79 



narrow lanceolate, some what serrate in the mid- 

 dle, flowers in a multiflore compound corymb. 

 3 Var. angustifolia, stem simple pedal leaves 

 linear lanceolate entire, flowers in a simple 

 pauciflore corymb. These 2 last are probably 

 the Critonia of Gacrtner and others, yet they 

 are perhaps nothing else but various ages of the 

 plant ? but since they have been mistaken for 

 species, they must be properly noticed. 



2. K. altaica Raf. If the Sibirian plant is 

 distinct as probable, it may be distinguished by 

 Stem really pubescent, leaves triuncial alterne 

 rough decurrerit, lanceolate base not attenuated. 

 This is Eup. alternifolium Arduin tab. 20, and 

 Linneus in first editions. 



3. K. dasypia Raf. eupatorioides Elliot. 

 Stem branched pubescent, leaves alternate, lan- 

 ceolate unequally serrate, glandular punctate, 

 triuncial, rough above, pubescent beneath ; 

 flowers paniculate white, pappus white. Mea- 

 dows of Alabama and Georgia. 



4. K. glutinosa Elliot, glutinose pubescent, 

 leaves lanceolate alterne sess. serrate laciniatc, 

 upper entire; flowers corymbose panicled. Mea- 

 dows of Alabama, well described by Elliot, who 

 sent me a specimen. Stem bipedal, branched, 

 viscose glands rnixt with hairs all over. 



5. K. elliptica Raf. discovered 1823 descri- 

 bed 1833. Stem striate pubescent, branches 

 and leaves opposite, leaves sessile smooth,elliptic 

 uncial, serrate in the middle, glandular beneath, 

 flowers whitish in lax multiflore corymbs, pap- 

 pus cinereous Falls of the R. Cumberland, 3 

 feet high; very handsome species. The K.g7- 

 bra of my monograph 1833 which I mistook for 

 the linnean sp. is only a variety of this with 

 stem smooth, leaves subpetiolate, flowers less 

 lax. I found it in the AHeghany mts. on the
