 linear-lanceolate bracts; heads (5 mm. high by 10 mm. wide) in 

 an ample panicle; involucral scales loosely imbricated in a fev^^

Acton, Dr. Hasse, Canyons of the San Gabriel Mts., near 

 Pasadena; McClatchie, Sept. 1892; L. A. Greata, Sept. 1900, 

 (type); Mr. and Mrs. Grout, Sept. 1900. 



A handsome species of the ViUgaris section, and near A. 

 Fremonti, Gray. The recognition of it is due to Mr. Greata's 

 notes and excellent specimens, and it fittingly may connect his 

 name with the flora of which he is so earnest a student.
