3 L. carnosa Torr. & Gray. Dwarf and depressed, rising only 3 to 5 inches 

 liigh, more or less hirsute-pubescent : leaves succulent, spatulate or tile ui)per linear- 

 oblong the lower often sinuate-pinnatitid : heads small : rays 8 to 10 very short 

 (slightly surpassing the involucre), apparently white : akenes both of ray and disk 

 pubescent : pappus dull whitish, its slender bristles very sparsely i.lumose with 

 straight villous hairs to much above the middle. —Madaroglossa carnom, iVutt.

 The rays (nowhere stated to be yellow) appear to be white, and they are very inconspicuous.

 4. L. hieracioides, Hook. & Arn. A foot or so high, very hispid with lon<' 

 and spreading rigid bristles, which above are somewliat viscid : leaves varyin<' from 

 linear to oblong, laciniate-toothed or almost pinnatihd : heads small • rays 10°to 15 

 small, a little exceeding the disk : disk-akenes minutely pubescent : pappus rusty- 

 brownish ; the straight and erect villous hairs rather scanty and little shorter than 

 the bristles. — Madaroglossa hieracioides, DC.

 rays seldom 2 lines long ; their akenes sometimes showing rudiments of i)appus. ° 



. '5-. L. gaillardioides, Hook. & Am. A foot or two high, loosely branched 

 hispid and glandular like the preceding : leaves lanceolate or linear, the lower com- 

 monly pinnatitid : heads pretty large : rays 12 to 20, orange-yellow, cuneate-oblon.' 

 twice or thrice the length of the disk : disk-akenes silky-pubescent : pappus duU 

 white or rather rusty ; the erect and not abundant villous hairs all strai-dit and con-

Open grounds, common through the western part of the State, especially near San Francisco 

 Bay. Rays in well-developed plants two thirds to three fourths of an inch lon^ C'hati- of the 

 receptacle sometimes (as originally described) among the outer disk-flowers, but" commonly only 

 between the disk and ray. In Bolander's collection from Forest Hill, Plac^- Co. are specimen^ 

 midistinguishable from L. pentaclmta of that locality, and apparently growing w th it but wi h 

 the pappus of the jiresent sjjccies. ° " ti. .l, lut «iui 



_ 6. L. elegans, Torr. & Cxray. Eesembles tlie preceding, but rather hirsute than 

 hispid, and the linear cauline leaves less pinnatitid : rays 10 to 12, li<rhter yellow 

 obovate-cuneiform, about twice the -length of the disk : pappus mostlv white • its 

 copious villous hairs much shorter than the awn-like bristles, the inner crisi.ed'and 

 interlaced. — Madaroglossa elegans, Nutt. 



Open grounds, Ukiah to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. In the pappus this resembles 

 L. gkmdulosa; and the rays are similar, except in their color and rather larger size. 



§ 2. Pappus, receptacle, glandular herbage, and whole aspect of the preceding section, 

 but the (5 to 25) awns or bristles of the pappus naked, or rarely loanting. — 

 Callichroa, Gray. {Callichroa, Fischer & Meyer.) 

 7. L. pentachaeta, Gray. Sparsely hirsute or hispid as well as glandular, 



loosely branched: leaves mostly pinnatifid and the lower even bipinnatitid, with 



long linear lobes : rays large, golden yellow, oblong-cuneiform : disk-akenes minutely 



pubescent, sometimes almost glabrous : pappus of 5 or rarely fewer rigid smootli 



bristles, or sometimes wanting. — Pacif. R. Pep. iv. 108, t. 16.
