WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 379 



late : bracts biserial, with large clear-white oblong-ovate 

 obtuse tips : bristles of the pappus only slightly dilated and 

 sharply serrulate at the tip. 



Collected only by E. L. Greene, on an open hillside at 

 Harper's Ferry, May 14, 1898; only one large patch seen, 

 and that male. Though obviously a near relative of A. Par- 

 linii and arnoglossa, its small size/ very differently shaped 

 foliage and peculiarly narrowed and serrulated male pappus - 

 bristles, compel one to regard it as wholly distinct. I hope 

 that the female plant may be detected at no distant time. 

 There is no A. arnoglossa in the Harper's Ferry region.
