BLAKE: Two NEW COMPOSITES FROM FLORIDA 205 
reflexed, 3 mm. long, 1 mm. wide; disk corollas 9-12, yellow, 
puberulous with subglandular hairs, 2.8-3.2 mm. long (tube 
I-1.2 mm. long, throat cylindric below, funnelform-campanulate 
above, 1.5 mm. long, teeth 5 or sometimes 4, ovate, 0.5 mm. 
long); achenes all alike, blackish, glabrous, 1-1.4 mm. long. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, No. 1,028,688, 
collected in moist pineland, vicinity of Fort Myers, Lee County, 
Florida, December 14, 1919, by Paul C. Standley (No. 18909). 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMEN EXAMINED :— 
FLORIDA: Low pinelands, Alva, Lee County, Nov. 25, 1917, 
Mary E. Francis 156. 
The nearest relative of this species, both geographically and 
systematically, is Flaveria floridana J. R. Johnston, a stout 
annual 5-10 dm. high, with broader leaves, leafy-bracted 
inflorescence, and glabrous disk-corollas. The only other 
species which might be confused with it, F. linearis Lag., which 
also occurs in Florida, is taller and has only ‘‘2”’—7 disk flowers. 
Another plant, Standley 12859, from the type locality, may 
be referable to this species, but is decidedly abnormal. The 
stout stem is woody, with grayish exfoliating bark. The late 
heads are about 18-flowered, and bear 6 or 7 pales, similar to 
the phyllaries, on the outer edge of the receptacle inside the 
outermost series of flowers.
