phyllus. 
Cove Valley plants cited by Nees include his 4. macrophyllus y, in hb. Günther ; 
Doellingeria =. Spe hed by Póppig to hb. Günther; A. pAlogifolius ; A. 
prenanthoides ; A. glabellus 8 and A. cyaneus B. 
rs in in Hb. Günther include A. subcymosus, A heterophyllus, A. 
luxurians B, A. ericoides, A. ‘dba B, and about a dozen more, which Nees cites, 
many of them originally furnished by Bernbardi.
