1922] BLAKE—ASTERACEAE 429 
rays erect, the head 7.5 cm. high, about 5 cm. wide; involucre 
strongly graduate, about 7-seriate, 4.8cm. high, funnelform- 
campanulate, the three outer series of phyllaries with deltoid or 
broadly ovate body and subequal or longer, abrupt, linear or 
linear-lanceolate, erect, herbaceous tip (the latter 8-12 mm. long, 
1mm. wide), glabrous, the body blackish-green, with thin slightly 
wine-colored margins; those of the 4 inner series oval or oblong- 
oval, at the broadly rounded apex apiculate and arachnoid-tufted, 
otherwise glabrous, the inner thin and wine-colored throughout, the 
outer similar to the three outer series in texture and color; pistillate 
flowers 13, glabrous, the corollas erect, the tube 2.2 cm. long, the 
outer lip elliptic, 4 cm. long, 1 cm. wide, acutely 3-toothed, appar- 
ently yellow inside and dark (reddish ?) outside, about 14-nerved, 
the inner lip of two narrowly subulate segments 7 mm. long; disk 
corollas numerous, apparently yellow tinged with reddish, bilabi- 
ate, glabrous, 3.5 cm. long, the throat fenestrate below on both 
sides, the lips subequal, about 13 mm. long, one 3-denticulate at 
apex, the other 2-parted to base; achenes glabrous, those of the 
ray obcompressed, 4mm. long, glabrous, their pappus of easily 
deciduous plumose setae 2.5 cm. long; achenes of the disk similar, 
the pappus of about 26 plumose setae united at extreme base; ray 
flowers with imperfect anthers and glabrous style branches about 
0.6 mm. long; auricles of the stamens of the disk 5 mm. long, 
acuminate, somewhat denticulate toward apex. 
Ecuapor.—On slopes of Mt. Pichincha, August 23, 1920, E. W. D. and 
M. M. Holway 941 (type in U.S. National Herbarium no. 1058634). 
Allied to M. mathewsii Hook and Arn. in its sagittate-based leaves, but in 
that species the leaves are only 1.5 mm. wide, and the involucre only 3-3.5 cm. 
long. Only a single plant of the new species was found. 
Hieracium pazense, sp. nov.—Perennial, with 2 or more stems, 
about 45 cm. high, the root not seen; stems rather stout, branched 
from the middle, rather densely hispid-pilose to middle with spread- 
ing or reflexed whitish hairs about 4 mm. long, with blackish tuber- 
culate bases, above the middle hispid-pilose with wide-spreading 
blackish hairs 2-7 mm. long, with subulate bases, the shorter ones 
often tipped with blackish glands, and also not densely glandular- 
puberulous; stem leaves (below the inflorescence) about 5, the lower
