152 BOTANY. 
Aster* ERica&roius, Rothrock (in Botanical Gazette, Jan., 1877).— 
Willow Spring, Arizona (208); Santa Fé, N. Mex. (14). 
Ericexon Canapense, L.—Central Arizona (718, 764). 
ERIGERON compositum, Pursh—Colorado (493); also var. discoideus, 
Gray, from Utah. Number 496 from Colorado is a form near E. ‘pedatum, 
Nutt., but still somewhat hirsute, and the leaves and petioles distinctly 
hispidly ciliate, and the involucre as hairy as the typical E. compositum. 
ERIGERON GRANDIFLORUM, Hook., var. ELATIUS, Gray (Enum. PI. Par- 
ry).—A foot or more high, with several heads; stems leafy almost to the 
summit; scales of the involucre with extremely delicate tips, and united 
into a woolly mass.—Mosquito Pass, Colorado (487, 490). 
Ericeron ursinuy, D. C. Eaton (in vol. V, King’s Survey, p. 148).— 
(495.) 
ERIGERON UNIFLORUM, L., var—4—10’ high, more or less pubescent, a 
single head terminating the erect, sparsely leaved stem; lower leaves spatu- 
late-oblong, tapering to a hispidly ciliate petiole; stem-leaves oblanceolate, 
sessile; scales of the involucre somewhat crowded, hairy, and usually with 
purple, tapering tips; rays about 60, purple, twice as long as the disk- 
flowers (achenia too young); pappus almost uniform and a little shorter 
*“ DIPLOPAPPUS ERICOIDES, T. & G.—To save labor to some others who, like myself, work under 
ble disad vantage of a rather limited library and an herbarium (rich enough in the later new species) 
with but few specimens from the original sets made prior to 1862, I put the following in print. From 
our present standpoint it is evident that Diplopappus as formerly understood must be partitioned out 
among other neighboring genera, and of the species that concern us here, one goes to section ERICAME- 
RIA of Aplopappus, and the other to section ORTHOMERIS of Aster. In the unavoidable changing of 
names a confusion arises under the name above given, i. e., Diplopappus ericoides, there being two plants 
that bear the name in herbaria and books. The following may in some sense clear up the matter 
Diplopappus ericoides, T. & G. Eucephalus ericoi- Diplopappus ericoides, Less. A |plopappus ericoides, 
des, Nutt. ‘Inula? ericoides, Torr.! in Ann. Lye. DC., and apparently also of Hooker and Arnott. 
New York, 2, p. 212. Chrysopsis ericoides, Eaton, | See DC., Prod. V., p. 278; Bot. Beechy, p. 146; and 
Man. Bot.” Fi, Cal. L, p. 313. 
Now placed in Aster under Sect. ORTHOMERIS. In the last, Eri ia microphylla, Nutt., is also 
As the name ericoides is preoccupied in this genus cited as another name for the same, and by this it 
I suggest for it Aster ericefolius, which indicates appears in Flora of North America, T. & G., 2, p. 
even more closely its general habit. 236.

69; Bot. Mex. Bound., p. 78. 
€ two plants are so different in habit,—the one suggestive of (so far as arrangement of the 
foliage goes) Erica, and the other of 4. fasciculatum, Hook. & Arn., or of Eriogonum fascicu- 
latum, Benth.—as well as in habitat, that any farther description is unnecessary.”—Botanical Gazette,
