BOTANICAL NOTES. 233 



Bid ENS BiPiNNATA Gray. 



Leptosyne coreocarpa Gray. — Of what I take to be this 

 species there are three examples: ODe, much the hirger 

 plant, agrees very well with Dr. Gray's description, to which 

 may be added— akeiies strongly scabrous on both surfaces, 

 rays rather large, purple. In the two other plants the rays 

 are apparently white, the akenes smooth on both surfaces, 

 and the border not cleft entirely through. Perhaps this 

 last form may be L. parthenoides, or dissecta — species which 

 Dr. Gray seems to have suspected to be too near the above. 



Perityle Californica Benth. & var. nuda Gray. — Bays 

 yellow; leaves varying greatly in size and dissection. 



Perityle Fitchii Torr. — Bays white, conspicuous. 



Dysodia anthemidifolia Benth. 



PoROPHYLLUM. — A slirubby species. 



NicoLLETiA Edwardsii Gray. — Probably this species, 

 though a much more robust plant than the one described, 

 possibly perennial; rays 3'ellow, becoming puiplish with 

 age; glands infrequent on the involucre and small on the 

 leaves; scales of the pappus lacerate, the awn arising from 

 a deep notch. 



Pectis mqltiseta Benth. — Pappas of the disk usually 

 awnless, and with merely the rudiment of a crown. 



Trixis angustifolia D. C. 



Malacothrix Xanti Gray. 



Asclepias subulata Decaisne. 



Phacelia pedicellata Gray. 



Nam A HispiDUM Gray. 



Heliotropium curassavicum L. 



Heliotropium, sp.
