from which it differs sharply in pappus characters, and with E£. 
carolinianus Willd., under which species the first two collections 
above quoted were doukifally included by Gleason in his revision 
of the genus. The large series of E. carolinianus at hand differs

spreading-pilose chiefly along the costa and major veins beneath. 
The West Indian plant, somewhat doubtfully referred to Z. caro- 
linianus by Gleason, is clearly that species and not the Mexican
