A. silphioides forma parvifolia Chod. 1. ¢. as syn. — Hassler 3587, 
from Paraguay, type collection of this species, has the fertile rays 
of Wedelia, and is in fact identical with WEDELIA BRACHYCARPA 
Baker in Mart. FI. Bras. vi. pt. 3, 181 (1884). 
Aspilia potosina Brandegee ! Univ. Calif. Pub. Bot. iv. 280 
(1912). — Purpus 5162, type collection of this species, has, at

Ktze. Rev. i. 370 (1891), excl. syn. & var. in part. — The 
type of Tagetes rotundifolia Miller in the British Museum is identi- 
cal with the handsome annual long known as Tithonia tagetiflora 
Desf., and his name must consequently be adopted. The original 
of plate 3295 of the Botanical Magazine (Helianthus speciosus 
Hook.), in the Kew Herbarium, is likewise indistinguishable in any 
essential characters.

Blake ! Bot. Jahrb. liv. Beibl. no. 119, 49 (1916). Harpaliwm ? 
serrcceum DC. ! Prod. v. 584 (1836). Viguiera sericea (DC.) Gray ! 
Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 6 (1883).— Study of the fragments and 
photograph of Syncretocarpus Weberbaueri in the Gray Herbarium, 
and the discovery that the specimen of Viguiera sericea also in the 
Gray Herbarium was of the same species, led me some time ago 
to sien that the type of Harpaliuwm ? sericeum DC., on which 
Dr. Gray S name was based, would prove to be identical, a suspi- 
nur yoo has been confirmed through the kindness of Dr. Casimir 
fe st olle. De Candolle’s name, on which his Harpalium sect. ? 
: sss (Prod. v. 584 (1836)) was based, must be adopted for 
€ species. Additional specimens may be cited as follows: PERU: 
— Denes ground, on road to Purruchuca, Mathews 1043 (hb. 
ew); Chosica Canyon, 1065-1220 m., 4 April 1913 and 10 Jan.
