TROPICAL AMERICAN EUPATORIEAE 7 
diametro densiusculis puberulis, pilis brevissimis purpurascentibus 
incurvis; pedicellis ca. 5 mm. longis; capitulis 7 mm. altis ca. 19- 
floris; involucri campanulati 3-4 mm. longi squamis ca. 16 modice 
imbricatis et gradatis lanceolato-oblongis obtusis obscure. 2-3-striatis; 
corollis purpureis 4 mm. longis glabris sursum gradatim paullo ampli- 
atis; pappi setis ca. 27 albidis sublaevibus; achaeniis (immaturis) 
2.4 mm. longis glabris,—Bottv1a: in the southern part of the country 
at Padcaya, Dept. Tarija, alt. 2300 m., Fiebrig, no. 2576 (Gr.). 
This species is most nearly related to E. Pentlandianum DC. 
which, however, has punctate leaves only half as large and nerved 
from the very base instead of well above it as in this species. 
E. gynoxymorphum Rusby, nom. nov. LE. gynoxioides Rusby, 
Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. iv. 380 (1907), not E. gynoxoides Wedd. Chlor. 
And. i. 216 (1857). Although the first name assigned to this Boliv- 
ian plant by Dr. Rusby differs by a single letter from the one pre- 
viously employed by Weddell for a Colombian species, it has ap- 
peared both to Dr. Rusby and to the writer, as well as to several 
other botanists whose judgment has been consulted, that it would 
be highly undesirable to perpetuate for two species, both Andean 
and of the same genus, names so nearly identical and so likely to lead 
to confusion. Dr. Rusby therefore permits the publication of the 
above substitute.
