A species obv ous related to FE. lamiifolium HBK. of middle 
altitudes on the Ecuadorian Andes, which, however, has considerably 
smaller heads with more numerous and very unequal involucral scales 
of much smaller size. Its leaves are, furthermore, rugose above 
and very shallow ly cordate instead of being penetrated by a deep 
narrow sinus as in the species here described. Unfortunately the 
specimen is accompanied by no data in regard to the precise locality, 
5 habit, or flower-color.
