EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
It has been impossible to ascertain upon just what material “EZ. 
heptanthum Sch. Bip.”’ was reported by Rusby, Bull. N. Y. Bot. 
Gard. iv. 378 (1907) from Venezuela where “apparently collected by: 
Seemann.” From Rusby’s description, however, and from Bolivian 
material referred by him to E. heptanthum it has become entirely clear 
that he applied the name to a plant wholly distinct from the one s0 
named and described by Weddell, Chlor. And. i. 217 (1857). 
For E. azangaroense Sch. Bip. the following station, which might 
be inferred,to have been Venezuelan, is given by Weddell, Chlor. And. 
i. 217 (1857): “Caracas: dans la Sierra~Nevada de Santa Marta!, 
h. 2600 m. (Funck, exsicc. no. 391)”. However, from the sequence 
of Funck’s numbers mentioned elsewhere in the same work it appears 
clear that the Sierra-Nevada de Santa Marta mentioned here was the 
well known one in Colombia. 
EUPATORIUMS OF ECUADOR. 
The most complete previous treatments of the Ecuadorian Eupa- 
toriums have been those of Jameson, Syn. Pl. Aeq. ii. 79-90 (1865), 
and of Hieronymus in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xxix. 5-15 (1900). In these, 
Jameson described 1 species of Hebecliniwm, which he maintained asa 
separate genus, and 25 species of Eupatorium, while hee 
_ enumerating only such plants as were contained in the extensive ©” 
lections of the late Prof. A. Sodiro, listed 31 species and 2 varieties 
Eupatorium, giving many helpful notes regarding the older speci€s wg 
well as diagnoses of several newly recognized members of the group. 
In neither of these treatments was there any attempt to key the eee 
In comparing the Eupatoriums of Ecuador with those of Colom

Thus of the common and widely distributed Sect. Cylindroceph ‘ll
