Bot. Gard., Paris et Kew. 
I first named this plant Weddelia lifuana (cf. Kew in Herb.) but 
the fruit, with its sharp edges and villous apex, is so exactly similar 
to the one of Lipochaeta integrifolia Gray, that I must place our 
plant next to it. The base of the leaves of Z. “éfuana shows also 
the three main nerves characteristic of the genus. However, 
Weddelia and Lipochaeta are very nearly related. 
The New York specimens show the two extreme shapes of leaves 
and bracts, the narrowest and the widest, but the Kew ones show 
all intermediate links, so that we cannot but consider them forms 
of the same species.
