204 BLAKE: TWO NEW COMPOSITES FROM FLORIDA 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, No. 1,116,795, 
collected in scrub formation nine miles southeast of Frostproof, 
Polk County, Florida, November 1, 1922, by Mrs. F. E. Ohlinger. 
Duplicates in the Gray Herbarium and the herbarium of the 
New York Botanical Garden. 
Ample material of this beautiful plant has been received 
through Mr. F. L. Lewton from the collector, Mrs. F. E. Ohlinger 
of Frostproof, Florida. The species is nearest L. scariosa (L.) 
Hill, but differs markedly in its uniformly very narrowly linear 
leaves, as well as in its larger heads and much larger corollas 
and achenes. The nodding of some of the heads shown in the 
plate, which is drawn from a photograph of the type specimen, 
is undoubtedly due to the fact that the stem was bent backwards 
in growth. The narrowly linear obtusish style branches are 
11 mm. long, the decidedly unequal stigmatic lines only about 
4 mm. long. The minutely emarginate anther tips are about 
0.2 mm. long.
