same locality July 15, 1896, is also typical. In size and general aspect, this 

 variety seems to differ considerably from typical forms of S. canus. 



Hieracium cineritium, n. n. — H. cinereum Howell, Fl. N.W. 

 Am. 396. 1901, not Doell, Rhein Fl. 524. 1843; et al. 



Microseris nutans (Geyer) Gray var. major (Gray), n. var. 

 — M. major (Gray) Sch. Bip. 1866; see Kew Index and Gray 

 Syn. FL — Except for the large heads this plant has no constant 

 character different from the typical form. 



Microseris nutans (Geyer) Gray var. macrolepis (Rydb.), 

 n. comb. —PMocalais macrolepis Rydb. Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 

 38:11. 191 1. — This is exactly like the variety major (Gray) Nels. 

 and Macbr. except for the lanceolate-attenuate and elongate 

 pappus scales. Thus intermediate between the species and the 

 latter variety, which belongs to Oregon and Idaho, it seems best 

 to consider it a geographical variant.
