. is species clearly belongs to the small group of Colombian Eupa- 
toriums of § Conoclinium of which E. microphyllum L. f. is probably 
the best known and most characteristic species. It differs from E. 
microphyllum in being a somewhat larger plant with lanceolate leaves 
cuneate at the base instead of roundish-ovate and cordate. The 
indument of the stem is also quite different being a very fine sub- 
appressed woolliness, while in E. microphyllum, at least on the peduncle, 
the hairs tend to spread widely and are somewhat stiffer in character.
