Macbride — Reclassified or new Compositae 47 
Abt. v. 263. Much earlier in the Synoptical Flora Dr. Gray wrote 
under Actinella, ‘‘ Cephalophora is a reduced rayless Helenium.” 
The group is comparatively small (Reiche recognizes 11 species 
in Chile) but only a few of the species have been treated as yet 
under Helenium. Bailey, Stand. Cyclop. Hort. iii. 1443 (1915), 
took up the name H. aromaticum (Hook.) Bailey for the species 
sometimes cultivated for its fragrance. Santolina tinctoria Molino 
must be taken up for a plant that has been referred by some botan- 
ists to H. aromaticum. There is, however, no doubt but that 
Molino had the plant commonly known in Chile as Poguil and at 
one time used “ to make an excellent yellow dye,” (cf. Hooker, 
Exot. Fl. iii. 189 (1827). Molino’s choice of name, “ tinctoria,” 
would also indicate this plant rather than that of Hooker. In 
1914 Stuntz applied the name H. glaucum (Cav.) Stuntz to the 
plant of Molino evidently being unaware of the presence of a name 
much earlier published than that of Cavanilles. Besides the species 
discussed here, two others are represented in the Gray Herbarium 
and these also may be transferred now from Cephalophora to 
Helenium.

AnTHEROPEAS Rydb. N. A. Fl. xxxiv. 97 (1915). Rydberg, I. ¢., 
considers Eriophyllum Wallacei Gray and E. lanosum Gray (to- 
gether with three forms of these species to which he assigns specific 
ratik) as constituting a genus distinct from Hriophyllum. The 
oo pareatars, 1. ce. 82, by which these groups are contrasted are 
as follows: 
“‘ Anthers with obtuse or peut tips; tube of the disk- 
aco ae 
: te ti tu e > 
the throat. pot Geen ern vary gecanae ae er Antheropeas. 
It should be noted here that Rydberg He recognizes the genus 
Actinolepis DC. which is similar to Eriophyllum except that the 
heads are sessile and the “‘ pappus-squamellae lacerate-fimbriate.”
