ASTER DIVARICATUS CYMULOSUS 131 
Gray Herbarium, Cambridge. This specimen formed a part of 
Nees’ Eurybia corymbosa, being probably regarded by Nees as a 
small and unusually regular form of his typical coryméosa. 
When I first distinguished plants of this variety in MS. in 1888, 
I supposed them the 4. glomeratus of Nees, because of the con- 
densed inflorescence. Later I observed that their bracts, slender 
petioles, thin leaves, etc., could not be reconciled with Nees' de- 
scription of A. glomeratus. 
This variety seems next to have been distinguished by Prof. 
C. H. Peck, in 1890, fide specimen in N. Y. State Herb., of which 
he wrote in N. Y. St. Mus. Nat. Hist, 34th Report, 54 (publ. 
Oc. 1893): 
“In the Catskills there is common with the type of A. corym- 
bosus, a small form in open grassy places which has a dense 
corymb of small heads with short broad close rays sometimes 
exceeding 9." 
Range. Probably accompanying the type throughout ; failures 
in reports of collectors may be from its being passed by with 
the impression that it is merely a poorly developed state of the 
type. I have collected it from Maine to Va., most abundant near 
N. Y. and Washington. Examples:
