Sabazia (?) anomala, n.sp. Annual,3 to 4.5 dm. high: stem dichot- 
omously branched from near the base, pale green or purplish, hirsute- 
pubescent with glandular hairs intermixed: leaves opposite, sessile, 
ovate-lanceolate, 2 to 5 cm. long, 7 to 22 mm. broad, acute, remotely 
and coarsely sinuate-dentate, cuneate to slightly rounded at the base, 
pale green and hirsute-pubescent on both surfaces, 3-nerved from near 
the base: peduncles terminating the stem and branches, 7 em. or less 
in length, hirsute-pubescent with glandular hairs intermixed: heads in- 
cluding the fully expanded rays about 1.5 cm. in diameter: inyolucre 
campanulate, 1—2-seriate; bracts of the involucre ovate to lance-ovate, 
4 to 5 mm. long, acute or obtuse, herbaceous or somewhat tinged with 
purple: receptacle conical, paleaceous ; pales narrow, trifid: ray-flowers 
8, fertile; rays white or roseate, obtusely 3-dentate: disk-flowers nu- 
merous; corollas yellow: pappus of both ray- and disk-flowers of 10 
obovate or narrowly oblong ciliate-fringed persistent scales, half as long 
as the achenes: mature achenes subterete, 1.5 mm. long, striate, rather 
sparingly pubescent. — Mexico. State of Hidalgo: rocky mesas near

no. 8853 (hb. Gr.). 
This species is placed doubtfully in the genus Sabazia, because of the 
presence of a scaly pappus. In every other regard the plant is truly 
congeneric, having a habit closely assimilating S. Awmilis, Cass., from 
which it differs not only in the presence of a pappus but in the pubescent 
shorter achenes. There is a superficial resemblance between Sabazia 
anomala and Tridazx trilobata, Hemsl. ; it is, however, a similarity in 
habit and foliage rather than in technical or essential characters.

tion was obtained concerning their identity, especially that of P. buphthalmoides, 
DC., which has been much confused with P. Cervantesii, DC. The above synony ay 
and the specimens cited it is hoped may help to clear up the confusion of these ee 
species.
