333. V. LAXA, DC. ! Prodr. 5. p. 580 (V. Texana, Torr. 8r Gray, Fl. 2. p. 318) ; 

 & var. BREViPES. V. brevipes, DC! I. c. ; Gray, PI. Lindh. 2. p. 228. Hills of 

 the San Pedro River to the mountains east of El Paso. — The specimens mostly 

 belono- to the V. brevipes, DC ; but this is a mere variety of his V. laxa, which 

 name is much preferable. 



334 Heliomeris multiflora, Nutt. (vide No. 328) ; a depauperate and narrovp- 

 leaved variety. Valley of the Limpia, and near El Paso ; Sept. 



335. Helianthus petiolakis, Nutt. I. c. ; Torr. <§r Gray, Fl. 2. p. 319, var. 

 CANESCENs: caulibus foliisque junioribus strigoso-canescentibus ; petiolis baud 

 elon^atis. — Valley of the Eio Grande sixty or seventy miles below El Paso; Sept. 



The same plant has been gathered by Fremont. Much more silvery-canescent 



specimens occur in Mr. Wright's collection of 1851, with ovate and often sub- 

 cordate leaves. They are very young, however : but they not improbably belong to 

 an undescribed species. 



336. H. Maximilian:, Schrad. ; Torr. &f Gray, Fl. 2. p. 325. On the San Pedro 

 Eiver; Nov. 



337. H. GROSSE-SERRATUS, Martsiis, var. 7. Torr. ^ Gray, I. c. Plains at the base 

 of the Guadalupe Mountains ; Oct. A form with the upper leaves nearly entire 

 and sessile. 



338. H. ciLiARis, DC. Prodr. 5. p. 587. Saline prairies on the Leona, June; 

 also on the Eio Frio and Eio Grande, Texas. Dr. Gregg gathered it near Matamo- 

 ras ; and Mr. Wright has it abundantly in his collection of 1851. Some speci- 

 mens have linear-lanceolate leaves, as De Candolle describes them ; others have 

 them broadly lanceolate, strongly sinuate-undulate, and triplinerved, or the upper 

 ones, which are closely sessile and not attenuate below, three-nerved from the base. 

 It belongs to the section Atrorubentes, as characterized in the Flora of North 

 America. 



f AcTiNOMERis (Ach^ta) Wrightii, Gray, PI. Fendl. p. 85, adnot., §• PI. 

 Lindh. 2. p. 229. Near Austin, Texas.* 



339. Coreopsis tinctoria, Nutt. Bed of the Limpia ; Aug. 



340. C. cardaminefolia, Torr. 8f Gray, Fl. 2. p. 346. , Calliopsis cardaminefolia, 

 DC Prodr. 5. p. 568. Bed of the Eio Nueces; June. This is the same as No. 

 441 of Fendler's collection, which in PI. Fendl. I inadvertently referred to C. tinc- 

 toria. 



341. = No. 339. Near Austin, Texas. 



t Coreopsis coronata. Hook. Bat. Mag. t. 3460 ; Torr. ^ Gray, Fl. 2. p. 345. 

 Western Texas. This has been cultivated in the Cambridge Botanic Garden for 

 several years past. It is much handsomer than C. Drummondii ; the larger bright- 

 yellow rays being neatly marked with purple lines or spots at the base. The 

 achenia are rather broadly winged. 



* Actinomeris pauciflora, Nutt. has been received from Dr. Chapman (Middle Florida) with stems not 

 at all winged, the peduncles monocephalous, the upper leaves occasionally alternate, and the head desti- 

 tute of rays. Wings of the achenia narrow, but variable. 



De CandoUe's specimen of A. oppositifolia belongs to A. helianthoides, a state with larger leaves than 

 usual.
