Blake — New or noteworthy Compositae 25 
“ The engine broke down about 9.30 and we had a fair chance to 
prowl about the country in a rather fine place; along the river 
bottom. ... (Arrived at) Cotula 2.30... Reached Laredo 
about 6. . . . Took a stroll before sunset and got a few things of 
one sort and another.” 
Mr. Kidder adds: ‘“ I should say that, without much doubt, the 
particular specimen was collected while the engine was out of 
commission. Of course I cannot be certain.” This would indicate 
that the plant was probably collected in Frio County, and perhaps 
along the Frio River. Collectors in that region should endeavor 
to rediscover the species.
