Monongahela in 1825. Var. montana* 



6. K. tuberosa Raf. 1833. K. critonia MX. 

 and Elliot exclus. Syn. Root tuberose, stem 

 virgate striate pubescent; leaves alternate sessile 

 linear entire, pubescent, margin revolute, flow- 

 ers paniculate white, exterior sepals of the peri- 

 anthe reflexed, pappus white. In Carolina, dry 

 soils, well described by Elliot but under a wrong 

 name. 



7. K. fufoa Raf. disc. 1818 descr. 1833 as 

 K. media : entirely smooth, stem striate vir- 

 gate, lower leaves opposite, upper alternate, all 

 sessile linear lanceolate entire, long pale be- 

 neath and not glandular; flowers paniculate yel- 

 lowish, pappus fulvous On the banks of the 

 Ohio and hills of East Kentucky, about 2 feet 

 high, leaves 3 inches, down or pappus very pe- 

 culiar by its color. I sent my 2 N. Sp. to Decan- 

 dole; but have not yet seen the 5th volume of his 

 Synopsis. I possess yet several specimens of 1, 

 5 and 7 to furnish to botanists, and they are 

 figured in my Autikon. and Ic. rar. 



8. K. pubescens Raf. mon. Entirely pubes- 

 cent, stem virgate striate, leaves subpetiol. lan- 

 ceol. nearly entire, punctate, fl. paniculate, pap- 

 pus fulvescent Seen dry, said to grow in the 

 mts. Alleghany, perhaps only a variety of the 

 K. tuberosa, or fulva or K. eupatorioides ; 

 but the down was not white in the specimen: 

 probably mistaken by many for the 2 usual spe- 

 cies, whence the difference of descriptions. I 

 deem the color of the down truly essential. 



9. K. rosmarinifolia, Vent. Pers, &c. Leaves 

 canescent linear lanceolate semiamplexic. very 

 entire, margin revolute, peduncles terminal uni- 

 flore, fl. purple, pappus white ? In Cuba, com- 

 pare it with K. tuberosa ; but the flowers sep- 

 arate them. Eup. canescens Ortega dec. 34.
