In the rhombic base of the leaves there is indication that 
the lower leaves may be three-lobed. 
Verbesina Donnell-Smithii, n. sp. of VERBESINARIA.— 
Pubescent, becoming glabrate, about 5" high: stem and 
branches wingless: leaves ovate to lanceolate, scabrous puber- 
vlent above, pubescent beneath, tapering to a more or less 
winged petiole, acuminate, from sharply serrate or even 
toothed to almost entire with a few mucronulations, 10 to 
20™ long, 3 to 5™ broad: heads about 10" high, rather numer- 
ous in a spreading cyme: involucral scales oval, obtuse, erect 
and pubescent: chaff of the receptacle pubescent, as are the 
very broad and somewhat toothed wings of the achenes above 
and the stout awns.“—-San Miguel Uspantan, Depart. Quiché, 
alt. 6-12,000*, April 1892, Heyde & Lux 3,385. 
Related to V. Virginica L., but distinct enough from the 
forms of that variable species that I have seen, notably so i 
the size of its heads. 
OTOPAPPUS CURVIFLORUS Hemsley, var. glabratus, 5. 
var. Leaves almost entirely glabrous and very long acumin- 
ate, only vestiges of the scabrous character above, the lower 
surface glabrous (instead of woolly pubescent). —Jumaytepe- 
que, Depart. Santa Rosa, alt. 6,000", November 1892, Hey 
& Lux 4,235. 
O. curviflorus Hemsley = Salmea curviflora R. Br. and Zex- 
menta salmeotdes Sch. Bip. It is a serious question whether 
O. curviflorus should not be the basis of a new genus, for the 
characters are not strictly those of either Sa/mea or Otopapp"s, 
although the latter genus was extended by Hemsley to i 
clude it. 
CoREOPSIS GALEOTTII Hemsley was distributed in a prev 
ous collection as C. Mexicana Hemsley, no. 3,792. 
COREOPSIS TRIFOLIATA Bertol. —Buena Vista, Depart.Santa 
Rosa, alt. 5,500", December 1892, Heyde & Lux 4,193: 
Apparently reported heretofore only from Volcan de Agua by 
Velasquez, and described by Bertolini in Fl. Guat. 
BIDENS ALAUSENSIS HBK. ?—Embaulada, Depart. Zacatepe- 
quez, alt. 5,500", December 1889, Heyde & Lux 4,503; San- 
tiago, same depart., alt. 6,500*, 1891, Rosalié Gémez. 
number of South American species of Bidens appear in the 
Guatemalan collections, but there is such confusion of de- 
scriptions and of specimens in herbaria, that determinations 
must be tentative. This species has been reported also from 
S. Mexico.
