BIDENS ANDICOLA HBK.?—San Miguel Uspantdn, Depart. 
Quiché, alt, 6,000%, May 1892, Heyde & Lux 3,404, 3,788. 
This reference to a species of the Andes of Ecuador is made 
with some hesitation, on account of lack of type material. 
With published descriptions and distributed material it accords 
fairly well. Perhaps the same reference should be made of 
Fohn Donnell Smith 1,678, from Samac, Depart. Alta Vera- 
paz, alt. 4,600, but the material is entirely too immature for 
definite statement. 
BIDENS HIRTELLA HBK.—Santiago, Depart. Zacatepequez, 
alt. 6,500", 1891, Rosalié Gémez 1,074. This species seems 
to have been referred only to Mexico and then doubtfully, as 
though it had not been rediscovered. The material in hand 
conforms exactly with the published description, but there has 
been no opportunity of comparison with authentic specimens. 
BIDENS HUMILIS HBK.—At the summit of Volcan Acate- 
nango, Depart. Zacatepequez, alt. 12,400%, August 1892, W. 
C. Shannon 3,691. Heretofore reported only from the moun- 
tains of Ecuador. The peduncles and involucral scales are 
very often hairy, and the heads vary much in size, sometimes 
becoming as large as those of B. grandiflora. 
CALEA INTEGRIFOLIA Hemsley, var. dentata, n. var. Leaves 
much thinner, glabrous (except perhaps a little sparse pubes- 
cence beneath), very narrowly lanceolate to linear, with con- 
spicuous mucronulate teeth, and tapering into a long almost 
caudate acumination, the leaves subtending the inflorescence 
elongated.“Nebaj, Depart. Quiché, alt. 7,000%, April 1890, 
Heyde & Lux 4,506. 
SCHKUHRIA ANTHEMOIDES (DC.) (Hophirkia anthemoides 
DC. Schkuhria Hopkirkia Gray).—Heyde & Lux 3,802. 
GALEANA HASTATA Llav. & Lex.—Santa Rosa, Depart. 
Santa Rosa, alt. 3-4,000%, July 1892, Heyde & Lux 3,364. The 
plants are much more leafy than usual, with larger leaves and 
a fewer-flowered inflorescence than heretofore recorded. 
TAGETES Lucipa Cav.—Santiago, Depart. Zacatepequez, 
alt. 6,500", 1891, Rosalié Gémez 1,063; 1892, Heyde & Lux 
3:798. Our 3,798 is more branching than usual, with ob- 
Conical (rather than cylindrical) involucres which are 7-toothed 
(rather than 5) and 15 to 17-flowered (instead of 5 to 7), but 
ok intergradations seem to be too complete for varietal sepa- 
ation, 
TAGETES TENUIFOLIA Cav.—T. peduncularis Lag. & Rod.
