rotundifolia is extremely plentiful in the tiny bogs in holes in the 

 rocks where escape of water is slow, and Xyris montana is also 

 common in such places.

Examination of the specimens of C. grandiflora Hogg in the 

 Herbarium of The New York Botanical Garden has shown the 

 presence of a related but quite different species which has until 

 now passed unnoticed. For this plant the writer herewith pro- 

 poses the following name: 



Coreopsis saxicola sp. nov. Herba tota glabra, circa 1 m. 

 alta, foliis pinnatis dissectis, segmentis elliptico-linearis: bractea 

 involucri exterioris ovati-lanceolata aut lanceolata, 7-10 mm. 

 longa; achenia suborbiculata 2-3 mm. longa glandulis colum- 

 naribus faciei interiori alis fimbriatis dissectis. 



An herbaceous, totally glabrous plant about 1 m. tall, leaf- 

 blades pinnately dissected, the segments linear-elliptic: bracts 

 of the outer involucre ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, 7-10 mm. 

 long; achene suborbicular, 2-3 mm. long, with stalked glands 

 on the inner face, wings fimbriately dissected. 



Specimens examined : 

 Georgia, Stone Mountain, De Kalb Co., F. W. Pennell #4029, 



Aug. 2, 1912 (Type). 

 Georgia, Stone Mountain, De Kalb Co., H. Eggert, July 23, 



1897. 

 Georgia, Stone Mountain, De Kalb Co., J. K. Small, Aug. 1-6, 



1895. 

 Alabama, Double Bridges, Tallapoosa Co., F. S. Earle #2147. 



Aug. 9, 1899. 



In general appearance this plant is very similar to C. grandi- 

 flora, differing markedly however in the non-ciliate petioles, the 

 much broader outer involucral bracts and the achenes with 

 fimbriately dissected wings.
