4. Monopholis jelskii Hieron.) Blake—Chaenocephalus jelskit 
Hieron. Bot. Jahrb. Engler 36:494. 1905. 
Known only from the type collection by JELSKI (no. 698), made near 
Tambillo, Peru, August 10, 1878. Fragments are in the U.S. National Herba- 
rium. The pappus awn is rarely wanting in some of the flowers of a head, as 
noted by Hrrronymus, but I have seen no case in which there was a second 
shorter awn, such as he describes, present in the pappus. This appearance 
may have been due to a splitting of the awn into two, the possibility of which 
is indicated by the occasional occurrence of a deeply emarginate or bifid awn 
in this or other species. 
Wedelia holwayi, sp. nov.—Shrub, trichotomously branched; 
branches slender, hispidulous and hispid hirsute with tuberculate- 
based spreading or reflexed hairs 1 mm. long or Jess; leaves opposite; 
petioles hirsute, 1-3 mm. long; blades lance-ovate, 3.5—6 cm. long, 
I-2cm. wide, acuminate, cuneate at base, remotely serrulate 
(teeth 4-10 pairs, 3-7 mm. apart), papery, above very harshly 
tuberculate-hispidulous and tuberculate-hirsute, beneath equally 
green, hirsutulous and hirsute, triplinerved, prominulous-reticulate 
beneath; heads in threes at apex of stem and branches, 2-3 cm. 
wide, on densely hispidulous and hirsute naked or 1-bracteate 
peduncles 2-6 cm. long; disk 1-1.3 cm. high, 1.3-1.6 cm. thick; 
involucre 3 or 4-seriate, graduate, 1-1.2 cm. high, the outermost 
phyllaries obovate-oblong, herbaceous throughout or indurated at 
base, acutish to obtuse, ciliate, tuberculate-glandular and sparsely 
tuberculate-hirsute, 5-8 mm. long, 3-4 mm. wide, the innermost 
elliptic-oblong or oblong with membranous-herbaceous ciliate 
rounded tip, on back essentially glabrous, the middle series inter- 
mediate in characters, all erect or with loose tips; rays about 12, 
golden yellow, fertile, the lamina elliptic, 8-14 mm. long, 3-4 mm. 
wide; disk corollas yellow, hispidulous toward base of throat, 6.5—- 
7mm. long (tube 2—-2.5 mm.), the teeth papillose-hispidulous on 
margin within; pales subscarious, obtuse or acute, spinulose- 
denticulate above, 7-8 mm. long; ray achenes bluntly trigonous, 
not winged or auriculate, sparsely pilose, their pappus cyathiform, 
fimbriatulate, o.8 mm. long, with a partly free awn 1 mm. long on 
the inner angle; disk achenes narrowly obovoid, thickened, densely 
pilose, wingless, without ears above, 3.8mm. long, their pappus 
cyathiform, narrow, 1 mm. high, lacerate-fimbriate, with 1 awn 
1.5 mm. long.
