^^ Corethrogyne filagiiiijolia (H. & A.) Xutt. var. pinetorum Johnston. 

 var. nov. 



Stems slender, usually less than 6 dm. high; tomentum. present 

 only on the bases of the stems and on about the lowest ten leaves; 

 stems, excepting the basal decimeter, and the leaves, excepting the 

 lowest, densely covered with stipitate glands; heads about 8 mm. 

 high (usually less than ten to a stem and not infrequently soli- 

 tary), born on long divaricate branches of a raceme or simple 

 corymbose-panicle. 



" Relationship: Nearest to var. bernard:na (Abrams) Hall, from 

 which it differs in having most of the stem and leaves, as well as 

 the inflorescence, permianently and from the beginning densely 

 stipitate-glandular. In bernardina the stems and inflorescence, 

 vvith the exception only of the pedicels and involucres, are heavily 

 tomentose. In age this tomentum may be partially deciduous 

 but in such cases the exposed portions of the stem or leaf is 

 smooth and shining, not glandular. In pinetcrum the inflorescence 

 is few'Cr flowered and the stems average somewhat low^er in height.
