Gaillardia crassifolia, n. sp. — Apparently perennial from a 

 thickened semi-fleshy root, pale green, sparsely pubescent with 

 fine, short, jointed hairs, the pubescence extending to all parts 

 of the head: stems few to several from the crown, branching from 

 near the base and upward, striate, 3-5 dm. high, the upper third 

 pedunculate: root leaves (wanting) probably early deciduous; the 

 lower stem leaves narrowly oblanceolate, 3-8 cm. long, on slender- 

 margined petioles often as long as the blade; the upper narrower, 

 becoming linear and nearly sessile; heads medium; the disk 

 15-20 mm. broad, corollas purplish above; rays yellow, rather 

 short (15 mm. or less), cleft into narrowly oblong lobes: achenes 

 short, densely pubescent all over : pappus longer than the achene, 

 the weak awn longer than the scarious portion. 



M. E. Jones no. 5177, La Verken, Utah, May 7, 1894, is the type. Another 

 specimen by Jones from Green River, Utah, June 21, 1889, is doubtfully referred 

 to the proposed species.

 densely tomentose, usually with a tuft of white wool at the 

 base: stems stouter, single, or somewhat tufted (not tufted as in 

 the species), 3.5-5 dm. high: basal leaves oval, repand, dentate, 

 or sinuately dentate, obtuse, 2-3 cm. broad, larger than in the 

 species; upper leaves oblong-lanceolate, sinuately dentate, mostly 

 sessile: heads 12-20, in a subumbellate cyme, 15 mm. broad, on 

 peduncles 3-10 cm. long; bracts sometimes dark-tipped, silky- 

 hairy or often tomentose at base; rays about 10. 



The type was found on grassy banks in Little Goose Canyon, 15 miles 

 south of Sheridan, Wyoming, at an elevation of about 5000 feet, no. 362,
