This species is obviously close to E. sotarense Hieron., which, how- 
ever, has the pubescence on the pedicels of wide-spreading gland- 
tipped hairs, while in E. dasyneurum it is of incurved non-capitate

description, considerably less pubescent beneath, and the involucral 
scales less attenuate.

collection in the mountains of Loja, by Hartweg, no. 755. There is 
an unnumbered Hartweg specimen of the species from the same 
locality in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. By 
error in the paper mentioned the species was given a parenthetical 
authority (HBK.) which should have been deleted.

dication of locality or even of the country, has never been satis-
