0.7 mm. long; pappus 3 mm. long, the slender bristles denticulate 
above, deciduous singly or in pairs. 
Ecuapor.—Cuenca, September 10, 1920, Z. W. D. and M. M. Holway 982 
(type in U.S. National Herbarium no. 1058640). 
Allied to A. alata (H. B. K.) DC., which has fuscescent phyllaries and leaves 
with long scattered hairs above. No reference is made in the description of 
that species to the glands which are so abundant in A. glandulosa, and which 
give it the fragrant odor of Gnaphalium obtusifolium. 
Achyrocline hyperchlora, sp. nov.—Slender herb, 40 cm. high 
and more, branching, the base not seen; stem and branches flexuous, 
Wingless, stipitate-glandular and scantily arachnoid-tomentose, 
glabrescent; leaves elliptic-lanceolate, 3-5.5 cm. long, 6-15 mm. 
wide, acuminate or acute, cuneate into a petioliform margined 
base decurrent for about 1mm., entire, membranaceous, tripli- 
nerved, glandular on both sides, above green, pubescent with 
several-celled hairs, loosely arachnoid, glabrescent, beneath per- 
sistently griseous-arachnoid-pilose; panicles loose, much branched, 
leafy bracted, the heads in small glomerules, involved in wool at 
base; involucre 3mm. high, whitish faintly tinged with straw 
color, the outermost phyllaries brownish toward base, the phylla- 
ries oval to oblong, obtuse, scarious, stipitate-glandular and 
lanate-pilose toward base; ? flowers 4, % 1; ? corollas whitish, 
tubular-filiform, stipitate-glandular at apex, 1.8 mm. long; 4% 
corollas similar but thicker, 5-dentate; achenes immature; pappus 
2 mm. long. 
Borrv1a.—Cochabamba, March 14, 1920, E. W. D. and M. M. Holway 406 
(type in U.S. National Herbarium no. 1058598). 
This species has the same sweet odor as A. glandulosa. It is of the A. 
vargasiana group, and is distinguished especially by the character of its leaves 
and its loose panicle. 
Polymnia eurylepis, sp. nov.—‘‘Slender tree 4-5 m. high”; 
branches stout, sulcate, densely hirsute-pilose with several-celled 
sordid hairs and somewhat glandular-puberulous, glabrescent; 
leaves opposite; petioles rather narrowly margined, densely pubes- 
cent like the stem, 1-3.5 cm. long; blades broadly ovate or rhombic- 
ovate, 7-19 cm. long, 4.5-11.5 cm. wide, acuminate, at base broadly 
cuneate, then gradually cuneate to the base of the petiole, remotely
