entire, acute, rather rigid; flowers apparently rose-color; involucre 6” 
long; achenia 3-4” long, the brownish pappus exceeding the involucre. 
With the habit of Lygodesmia juncea, in which genus Bentham and Hooker

Central Arizona (361, 205). 
CAMPANULACEZ (including Lopetiacez). 
Lope.ia CaRDINALIS, L., var. Texensis.t (L. Texensis, Raf.)—Flowers 
as a rule smaller than in our Northern form, and upper anthers more hairy 
toward the apex; ‘leaves narrowly lanceolate.” Closely resembling L. 
splendens, Willd., as seen in No. 209, Palmer, 1875, but is a coarser, more 
rigid plant, which may be merely accidental—Camp Bowie, Ariz. (448). 
- Loperia Grurna, Cav. (ic. 6, p. 8, t. 511, f. 2) —Perennial, erect, slen- 
der, branching toward the top, glabrous or slightly puberulent below ; lower 
leaves lanceolate, obtuse, somewhat puberulent, irregularly crenate-denticu- 
late, 2-3’ long; upper leaves linear, acute, sometimes denticulate; slender 
flowering branches with the leaves fewer and smaller, narrowly linear 
* CHZTADELPHA, Gray.—“ Heads about 5-flowered, ligulate. Involucre cylindrical, of lanceolate- 
linear, membranaceous, keeled scales, enclosing the achenia, the exterior scales ealyculate. Receptacle 
naked. Ligule short, apparently rose-color. Achenia linear, truncate at each end, sub-5- angled, some- 
what fow-stvints, with the apex broad and sub-repand. Pappus persistent, lecwniah of 5 stout naked 
awns, to each of which there are 3-6 smaller divisions. Perennial herbs, resembling the Eulygodesmie.”—
