GREENMAN, — CENTRAL AMERICAN SPERMATOPHYTES. 43 
glabrous or sparingly pubescent, narrowly winged: leaves opposite, 
simple, ovate, 5 to 14 cm. long, 2.5 to 6 cm. broad, acuminate, sharply 
and unequally sinuate-dentate, abruptly contracted below the middle and 
then gradually narrowed to the insertion of the petiole, hispid-pubescent 
on both surfaces or merely hispidulous beneath: heads relatively few, 
on 8 to 8 em. long peduncles, discoid, 12 to 15 mm. high, 1.5 to 2.5 cm. 
in diameter, many-flowered: involucre campanulate; bracts of the in- 
volucre 3—4-seriate, lanceolate, obtuse or obtusish, rather thick, densely 
puberulent: corollas in the dried state somewhat reddish: mature © 
achenes broadly winged, 5 to 7 mm. long, nearly or quite as broad, 
glabrous or somewhat verrucose. — V. Mrasert, Klatt, Bull. Soc. Bot.

Rica. “Dans les buissons A las Vueltas, Tucurrique,” altitude 635 m., 
November, 1898. Zonduz, no. 12,765 (hb. Gr.); “haie & Turrialba,” 
altitude 200 m., 6 May, 1891, Pittier, no. 4136 (hb. Gr.) : “ broussailles 
} Buenos Aires,” January, 1892, Pittier, no. 4905 (hb. Gr.). Most 
nearly related to V. erocata, Less. with which species it has been con- 
fused, but from which it is readily separated by the fewer seriated 
involucre, shorter and more obtuse bracts of the involucre, simple and 
‘undivided leaves, and narrowly winged petiole gradually narrowed to 
the base.

With this species the writer identifies the following: Costa Rica. 
“‘ Bois de la vallée du Rio Tuis,” altitude 600 m., November, 1893, Ad. 
Tonduz, no. 8096 (hb. Gr., and hb. Inst. Physico.-Geogr. Cost. Ri.) ; 
“ broussailles & Tuis,” altitude 650 m., November, 1897, Ad. Tonduz, 
no. 11,482 (hb. Gr., and hb. Inst. Physico.-Geogr. Cost. Ri.). Mr. 
Tonduz’s specimens agree in every detail with the original description 
and illustration above cited. The genus is, as far as known, mono- 
typic, and does not seem to have been hitherto recorded as occurring 
north of the Isthmus of Panama. 
Coreopsis cuneifolia, n. sp. Suffruticose: stem covered with a 
grayish bark, di- or trichotomously branched ; branchlets at first up- 
wardly subappressed-pubescent, later glabrate except at the nodes: 
leaves opposite, simple at least as far as seen, cuneate or oblanceolate- 
cuneate, 1.5 to 3.5 cm. long, 6 to 12 mm. broad, acute, dentate in the 
upper half with usually 7 to 9 spreading mucronate teeth, cuneate 
and entire below, narrowed into a subpetiolate base, glabrous on both 
surfaces or sparingly pubescent beneath, glandular-punctate: heads
