Coreopsis] lxxi. composit.e. 585 



GOLUNGo A],T(i. — A herb, 3 to 5 ft. high ; stem simple below, 

 branched from the middle to the apex ; leaves lobed after the fashion 

 of Frunseria artemis/oidrs Willd. ; Howers orange-yellow, handsome. 

 In moist sandy I'eed-beds between Camilungo and Canaulo, by the 

 Ambaca road ; fl. beginning of April 1850. No. 3532. 



Pi'N(;() Andonho. — A rigid herb, 18 in. high, sparingly hirsute, 

 root apparently annual, somewhat woody ; branches opposite, di- 

 varicate. At Luxillo, without either ti. or fr. Feb. 1857. A poor 

 specimen, resembling this species. No. 3533. No notes. Fl. No. 3534. 



Hiii.L.v. — Flowers yellow. In wooded meadows between Eme and 

 lake Ivant'da, rather rare : ti. Jan. 1860. No. 3530. At the outskirts 

 of the forest near the lake Ivantala in bushy meadows amongst tall 

 herbs by the river Cacolovar ; ti.-bud Feb. 1860. Also near the 

 LopoUo stream. No. 3531. 



The above specimens do not agree perfectly with the type, and,, 

 if correctly referred, extend the character of the species to include 

 bipinnatisect foliage ; Nos. 3531 and 3532 have markedly hispid 

 stems. 



2. C. speciosa Hiern, sp. n. 



An erect robust smooth herb, with the aspect of a Chrysan- 

 themum, 5 to 7 ft. high, or in poor soils only 3 to 4 ft., annual 

 or biennial or lasting for several years, branched towards the 

 apex, glabrate below ; stem straight ; branches opposite or 

 alternate, more or less quadrangular, erect-patent, thinly 

 pubescent upwards ; leaves mostly opposite, tripartite or un- 

 divided, ovate in outline, apiculate and obtuse or scarcely acute 

 at the apex, petiolate or subsessile, rigidly membranous or 

 coriaceous, deep-green, glabrate or beset with veiy short hispid 

 or strigulose hairs on both sides, coarsely and unequally dentate 

 with narrowly revolute or cartilaginous margins and apiculate 

 teeth, 2 to 5 in. long by 1 to 3 in. broad or larger; petioles 

 flattened, sheathing at the base, connate, ranging up to 1 in. 

 long ; the lobes ovate or elliptical, the terminal one the largest, 

 the lateral ones spreading ; capitula heterogamous, radiate, very 

 large, 3 to 4 in. in diameter, f to f in. high, solitary and terminal 

 or singly terminating the stem and branches together forming 

 open somewhat leafy terminal cymes, the peduncles ranging up 

 to 4 in. long (or longer and furnished with leaf-like bracts) \ 

 involucre about 1 in. in diameter ; the scales biseriate or sub- 

 triseriate, broadly lanceolate or lanceolate-oblong, suberect,

 more or less beset on the back with short broad-based hispidulous 

 hairs ; flowers golden-yellow, very handsome ; outer florets 

 ligulate, female and barren or neuter, uniseriate, 10 to 18, widely-

 glandular-pilosulous, I to \ in. long, its limb gradually widened 

 upwards, 5-lobed at the apex ; its lobes ovate-acuminate or 

 elongate-triangulate, rather thick or fleshy, densely granular

 at the apex, minutely sagittate at the base, scarcely
