TROPICAL AMERICAN EUPATORIEAE. 259 
Forma apodum, forma nov., capitulis plerisque sessilibus in glom- 
erulos 2-4-capitulatos dispositis; pedicellis paucissimis usque ad 2.8 
mm. longis evolutis.— Same locality, habitat, and altitude, Lehmann,

Var. trineurolepis, var. nov., ut dicitur herbaceum 6 dm. altum 
habitu, inflorescentia, pubescentia, etc. vere in partibus omnibus 
involucro excepto ut apud var. typicum sed differt involucri squamis 
distincte 3-nerviis paullo magis oblongis obtusis vel apice rotundatis

El Valle, in clayey soil, alt. 800 m., 3 Nov. 1899, E. Langlassé, no. 9 
(type Gr.). The differences in the scales, which in the typical variety 
are as to the intermediate ones lance-linear, acutish, and 1-nerved, 
while here they are oblong-linear, obtusish, more copiously pubescent, 
and 3-nerved, are striking and might possibly justify separate specific 
ra However, the plants appear to be otherwise identical through- 
out, and some slight variation has been observed in the scales of the 
typical variety of which several collections are now at hand, some of 
the intermediate scales being occasionally 3-nerved. It is therefore 
probable that a more extended series will bridge the gap between the 
two varieties. It may be remarked that, although Klatt, following a 
manuscript note of Lehmann, described his plant as a shrub reaching 
3 m. in height and Langlassé notes his plant as an herb 60 cm. in 
height, the specimens themselves (showing in each case about 2.5- 
3 dm. of stem) exhibit no significant difference in the degree of lignes- 
cence, which if any distinction can be made is more pronounced in 
glassé’s plant.
