A. The leaves of the lower series passing imperceptibly 
and indistinctly into the leaves of the upper series . . . . 9. var. scalarts. 
The var. scalaris has short lower leaves, the lowest next to the 
tuber about 2.5 cm. long, the others about equal (on one stem 6.5 
em. long, on another 5.5 cm.), occupying one-fourth of the stem, 
broadly lanceolate—lanceolate. 
The other leaves are narrowly lanceolate and very gradually re- 
duced. On the whole stem there is (excepting the lowest leaf) 
never more than 0.5 cm. difference in length between two neigh- 
boring leaves, the uppermost of which is0.5 em. long. ‘This variety 
seems to be rare, and was found in moderately moist and rich soil 
on the open prairie. 
Helianthus apricus camporum comb. nov. 
to replace 7. nitidus camporum described in the Am. Midl. Nat. I, 
p, 237 (1910). 
Its leaves being scabrous beneath, its scabrous stems and its 
habitat are characters peculiar to HW. africus and cause me, ceferts 
paribus, to place it preferentially with this species, though the 
outline of its leaf is that of A. 27ztidus.
