subracemose few and small — Apalachian Mttk 

 of Virginia and Carolina, different from L. 

 hirsula by leaves entire, the lower 6 to 8 inches 

 long, stem 2 or 3 feet high. 



952. EuNOxis (Agathyrsus; amabilts Rafl 

 smooth, stem subsolid terete, leaves sessile am- 

 ple ovate acute angular or denticulate, lower 

 basfe decurrent cuneiform, floral oblong suben- 

 tire, branches racemose paniculate pyramidal, 

 peduncles elongate naked, flowers blue, pappus 

 white — Mts. Alleghany, 4 to 5 feet high, leaves 

 4 to 10 inches long, a profusion of pretty blue 

 flowers. I have changed Agathyrsus name 

 already preoccupied for a G. of shells for JEJti- 

 noxis an ancient name of I.ettuce, and I give 

 this sp. as a specimen out of a dozen sp. that I 

 possess, the color of flowers and pappus is spe- 

 cific in this Genus. 



953. Narbalia latifolta Raf. smooth, stem 

 terete flexuose, leaves broad thin petiolate glau- 

 cous beneath subdentate, lower on long petiola 

 deltoid hastate broader than long, trinerve, lobes 

 divaricate deltoid acute, upper leaves ovate acu- 

 minate, racemes axillary, perianthe More 

 5parted — in Mts. Alleghanies, stem '2-3pedal, 

 whitish sometimes rubicund, radical leaves with 

 petiols one foot long, leaf 10 inches broad 8 

 long, upper leaves 2 or 3 inches long, flowers 

 white drooping, perianthe incarnate. The pre- 

 vious good name Narbalia of Cassini adopted 

 by Hooker must prevail over Harpnhjce of 

 Don adopted by Beck later and formed from 

 Harpa a shell. Even the (t. must be divided, 

 I give this as an instance of the real Narbalia, 

 ofvvhich I have 25 species, those with multiflor^ 

 perianthe form my next Genus ; while the Pre^ 

 nanthes tenuifolia and pauciflora of Tonrey
