f. majuscula n. f. Fig. 29 d— e. — A typo differt statura majore et 



magnitudine omnium partium. Rami ad 70 cm longi et 6,5 mm crassi, dense 

 foliosi. Folia ad 18 cm longa et 2 cm lata, sat profunde lacerata. Panicula 

 amplissima. Flores $ ad 7 mm longi, tubo 3, limbo 4 mm. Achaenia ut in 

 typo. Masafuera: Q. de las Casas, one specimen in the bottom of the gorge 

 in a shady corner (fl. 6 3 17, no. 375). — Looks like a »gigas-form». Aster 

 erigeroides Hook, et Am. (= E. fruticosus) p proliferus Comp. Hot. Mag. II. 48 

 is a large-leaved form, but nothing is said about the size of the heads etc.; it

Euerigeron suffruticosus polycephalus subglaber luteoviridis. Radix pri- 

 maria persistens lignosa longissima (ad 58 cm longa visa), valde ramosa, multi- 

 ceps. Caulis lignosus plerumque a basi ramosus; innovationes basales internodiis 

 inferioribus elongatis, ceteris brevissimis folia rosulatim conferta gerentibus. 

 Rami florigeri 20 — 30 cm longi, rigidi, glabri, striati. Folia inferiora dense rosu- 

 lata, anguste spathulata vel lineari-lanceolata, acuta, in petiolum semiamplexi- 

 caulem longissime attenuata, plerumque 5—8 cm longa et 4 — 6 mm lata, versus 

 apicem dentibus acutis parvis incrassatis utrinque circ. 5 munita, reticulatim 

 nervosa nervo mediano permanifesto, pallida, lutescenti-viridia, subglabra (pilis 

 nonnullis marginalibus) vel glaberrima, valde firma quasi coriacea; folia caulina 

 inferiora similia, superiora linearia, integra, 2 — 4 cm longa et 2—3 mm lata. 

 Capitula ex axillis supremis orta, subumbellatim disposita, pauca — sat nume- 

 rosa, circ. 8 mm diam., inferiora pedunculis elongatis 3 — 5 cm longis, bracteo- 

 latis, simplicibus vel infimis parce ramosis, glabris vel parce pilosis suffulta. 

 Involucrum 5 — 5,5 mm altum, 4,5 — 5 mm diam., subglabrum. Squamae lanceo-
