There is very little doubt that this is the plant Doctor Gray had before him, not- 

 withstanding that the name applies much better to some of the other species. There 

 is also little doubt that this is a i^lant which Doctor Torrey included in his H. dentata 

 in the Botany of the Mexican Boundary Survey, a reference in which others have 

 followed him, although the two plants are very unlike. The leaves of H. oblongifolia 

 are not oblong; the lower cauline leaves are ovate to elliptic, acute and decurrent, 

 entire, with occasionally a few inconspicuous teeth; the upper ones are lanceolate and 

 acute. Doctor Gray calls attention to these facts in the descriptions cited above.

 Type locality: "Rocky hills of the Rio Grande, near El Paso."

New Mexico: Hillsboro; Organ Mountains; Tortugas Mountain. Dry hills, in the

7. Hedeoma ciUata Nutt. Joum. Acad. Phila. II. 1: 183. 1848. 

 Hedeoma sancta Small, Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 1: 287. 1899. 



Type locality: Santa Fe, Ncav Mexico. Type collected by Gambel. 



Range: Colorado to Texas and New Mexico. 



New Mexico: Santa Fe; Gallinas Canyon; Sandia Mountains; Tesuque; Pecos; 

 Magdalena Mountains. Open hills, in the Upper Sonoran Zone. 



We have not seen types of either H. sancta Small or H. ciliata Nutt. and can not be 

 sure that they are the same plant. What we take to be H. sancta seems to be the 

 common plant of this genus in the region about Santa Fe, the type locality of the 

 other species, and is reported by Doctor Rydberg from southern Colorado. Through 

 the kindness of Dr. J. H. Barnhart we have learned that there is eveiy reason to be- 

 lieve that H. ciliata Nutt. was published a short time before H. ciliata Benth. Thus 

 H. ciliata Nutt. would seem to be the proper name for the Santa Fe plant, with H. 

 sancta as a synonym, providing Doctor Rydberg and we have been correct in referring 

 this southern Colorado and northern New Mexico plant to the latter species.
