to 2 Sept., 1918, J. N. & G. Rose, no. 22,464 (Gr., U.S. N. Y.). A 
handsome species with deltoid-ovate leaves recalling those of E. 
iresinoides HBK. but with involucre characteristic of § Cylindro- 
cephala. The involucral scales (green, white, and lilac) recall those 
of E. iridolepis Robinson. An attractive and seemingly very distinct 
species which it is a pleasure to dedicate to Dr. J. N. Rose of the 
United States National Museum and to his son, who was his assistant 
on a recent collecting trip to Ecuador. Phi or alee
