La Paz: Mapiri, Bang, no. 1514 (Gr., N. Y., U. 8., Mo.); near Yungas, 
alt., 1220 m., Rusby, no. 1607 (Gr., N. Y., U.8.). 
23. E. santacruzense Hieron. Slightly woody, 1 m. or more 
in height; stems terete, opposite-branched, bearing scattered lenti- 
cels; branches slender, grayish-buff, leafy, finely puberulent when 
young; leaves opposite, petiolate, rhombic-ovate, serrate or the upper 
entire, attenuate-acuminate, acute to acuminate at base, thin mem- 
branaceous, finely pubescent on both surfaces or subglabrate above, 
paler beneath, 8-15 em. long 4-10 cm. wide; petiole slender, 1.5-4.5 
cm. long; partial inflorescences elevated from the upper axils on 
peduncles 3-4.5 cm. in length, loosely branched; heads about 10- 
flowered, 8 mm. high, 4 mm. in diameter; pedicels 3-9 mm. long, 
filiform, puberulent; bractlets subulate; involucral scales about 17, 
stramineous, at first pale, at length fuscescent, 4-5-seriate, graduated, 
mostly 3-nerved, all obtuse; corollas 4 mm. long, yellowish-white, 
subcylindric, sprinkled with scattered glands; achenes about 2.3 
mm. long, at maturity dark-gray, tapering somewhat toward the 
base, minutely scabrid; pappus-bristles about 24, fragile, united at 
base into a slight annulus.—Hieron. in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xxii. 762

La Paz: Prov. Larecaja: in woods of the temperate region, San Pedro 
near Sorata, alt. 2650 m., Mandon, no. 253 (Gr., N. Y.). 
Santa Cruz: on the Sierra de Santa Cruz, alt. 2000 m., Kuntze (N.Y., Berl., 
phot. Gr.). 
Kuntze’s material on which this species was founded represents 
merely tips of some of the inflorescence-bearing branches with 1-3 
of the uppermost somewhat bracteal leaves. These are subentire. 
However, Mandon’s more carefully prepared specimens, which are 
clearly conspecific, exhibit not only these upper subentire leaves but 
also show the normal cauline leaves to be finely and very definitely 
serrate at the sides, the teeth being rather numerous, acute, about 
0.7 mm. high and 4 mm. wide at base. 
24. B. soratae Sch.-Bip. Probably herbaceous or nearly so 
(the base unknown); stems (or branches) slender, 1-2 mm. in dia- 
meter, flexuous, terete, glabrous; upper leaves opposite, ovate- 
lanceolate, petiolate, acuminate, serrate except at the apex and sub-
