124 LEAPLBTS. 



margins arachnoid-woolly, the inner long and lance-linear, 

 acute, marginally naked : achenes nearly cylindric below the 

 rather long beak, those of the outer series pubescent, the inner 

 all glabrous ; pappus copious, soft but not fragile, its length 

 about that of achene inclusive of the beak. 



At 8000 feet, near Marysvale, Utah, collected by Marcus 

 Jones, 2 June, 1894 ; fine sheet of type specimens in U. S. 

 Herb. 



Agoseris caudata. lyow rather slender subalpine peren- 

 nial, the leaves and scapes from a strong but herbaceous tap- 

 root with sometimes a branched crown, this not in the least 

 woody or caudex-like ; herbage glaucous, glabrous : leaves 

 much depressed, or else ascending, of about the length of the 

 scapes, all from somewhat above the middle cut deeply into 

 narrow strongly deflected segments, but the upper part of one 

 entire narrowly linear and caudate-acuminate piece : scapes 

 only 2 or 3 inches high, erect, each surmounted by a head 

 rather narrow and few-flowered, but of extraordinary length, 

 being 1% inches high in mature fruit, including the pappus, 

 the involucre alone 1 inch high or more ; its bracts rather few, 

 the outer oval and acuminate, the very long inner ones lance- 

 linear : achenes very slender, linear-fusiform, 7 lines long 

 inclusive of the slender and not short hollow beak ; pappus 

 firm, smooth, not fragile. 



Singularly well marked species, from 8000 feet in Salina 

 Canon, Utah, collected by Marcus Jones, 15 June, 1894 ; type 

 in U. S. Herb. 



Agoseris confinis. Subalpine low stoutish perennial with 

 branching caudex ; herbage pale and glaucous, in the main 

 glabrous also : leaves lance-linear, mostly entire, glabrous : 

 scapes 3 to 6 inches high, ascending, or even at base quite 

 strongly decumbent, somewhat sparsely or loosely flocculent at 

 base, also strongly so under the involucre, this broad and 

 many-flowered but scarcely % inch high ; short outer bracts 

 triangular-ovate, the innermost lanceolate, none acute, all
