Senecio Suksdorfii, nom. nov.—S. Adamsi Howell, Fl. N.W. 
America 1:379,.1903, not S. Adamsii Cheesm. Trans. N.Z. Inst. 28:536, 
1896. Mr. Howe tv’s specific name for this plant coincides so closely 
with the name given by Mr. CHEESEMAN to a New Zealand species of 
this genus that it seems desirable to give our American plant a new 
specific name; and the writer takes pleasure in associating therewith 
the name of Mr. W. N. SuxsporF, who has done so much to further our 
knowledge of the plants of Washington.
