TROPICAL AMERICAN COMPOSITAE. 19

Gr.) 
This species with something of the habit of a Solidago is clearly of 
the affinity of EF. elatum Steetz, E. turbacense Hieron., E. Squiresii 
Rusby, and E. tovarense Robinson. From all these it differs in its 
much narrower, much more gradually attenuate, and in texture more 
delicate leaves of somewhat different venation and essentially glabrous 
beneath. In style-branches and some other features it recalls E. 
Trianae Robinson but differs in its opposite leaves, slender-pedicelled 
heads, ete.

curvato-adscendentibus juventate subadpresso-lanatis tardius glabra- 
tis brunneo-griseis cum lenticellis munitis; foliis oppositis petiolatis 
rhomboideo-ovatis faleato-acuminatis basi cuneatis obscure remoteque 
cuspidato-serrulatis supra glabris viridibus subtus arcte lepidoto- vel 
pannoso-lanatis argyreis penniveniis (venarum jugis 1-2  paullo 
supra basin aliis multo longioribus, omnibus subglabris sursum in- 
curvatis anastomosantibus) submembranaceis usque ad 1 dm. longis 
et 3.8 cm. latis; petiolo 1-1.6 cm. longo; corymbo terminali composito 
ca. 1 dm. diametro convexo multicapitulato; capitulis ca. 9-floris ca. 
1 cm. longis 3.8 mm. diametro; involucri subeylindrico-campanulati 
Squamis 3-seriatis ovato-lanceolatis vel anguste oblongis acutiusculis

Not closely related to any hitherto described Ecuadorian species. 
essentially bare. In habit and foliage the species recalls several 
Eupatoriums of Peru and Bolivia, but these are of § Eximbricata 
rather than § Subimbricata to which the present species is clearly 
referable. 
E. (§ Eximbricata) iodotrichum, spec. nov., herbaceum perenne 
ca. 8 dm. altum; caule tereti erecto vel paullo decumbente supra 
mediam partem oppositirameo atropurpureo villosulo, pilis aliis deli- 
catulis attenuatis purpureo-articulatis aliis (plerumque in parte su-
