EUPATORIUMS OF ECUADOR. 361 
involucre campanulate; scales about 17, lanceolate, acute, subequal, 
dusky-purple, loosely imbricated, a few of the outermost shorter; 
corollas inferred to be violet, smooth, enlarged in the throat; achenes 
hispid on the angles; pappus-bristles dusky, hispid— Nov. Gen. et 
Spec. iv. 129 (1820); Jameson, 1. c. 88.— Inferred (by Kunth) to 
have been collected in Ecuapor (“crescit in Regno Quitensi?”), 
Humboldt & Bonpland (Par., phot. Gr.). 
This species, known to the writer only from the type-material at 
Paris, is suspiciously close to the Colombian plant subsequently 
described by Bentham, Pl. Hartw. 200 (1845), as E. latipes, which, 
however, has smaller leaves (3-7 cm. long) and broad petioles only 
3-5 mm. in length. It is probable that the latter species will have 
to be reduced, and it seems not improbable that the original material 
of E. viscosum came not from Ecuador but from the mountains around 
Bogota, the source of many of Humboldt & Bonpland’s specimens. 
E. GLANDULIFERUM Hieron. Branching undershrub 1-1.5 
m. high; stems terete, often purplish-brown, densely clothed with 
widely spreading very unequal articulated and for the most part 
gland-tipped hairs; leaves opposite, sessile, ovate, acuminate, rounded 
at the slightly clasping base, serrate, 5-6 cm. long, about half as wide, 
membranaceous, green and slightly glandular-puberulent above, 
paler and especially on the nerves copiously pubescent beneath; 
3-nerved from the base; corymbs terminal, trichotomous, many- 
headed, rather loose; pedicels filiform, densely glandular-pubescent, 
8-18 mm. long; heads about 40-flowered, 8-9 mm. high; involucre 
campanulate, the scales about 14, subequal, linear, acute, mostly 
2-costulate; corollas white, glabrous, 4 mm. long; proper tube slender, 
1.5 mm. long; throat cylindrical, 2.5 mm. long; achenes 2.5 mm. long, 
brownish-black, upwardly hispidulous on the angles, slightly con- 
tracted just below a pale pappus-bearing cuplike annulus or disk 
at the summit.— Hieron. in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xxix. 13 (1900).—
