50. E. lasiophthalmum Griseb. Suffruticose, 2 m. tall, sparingly 
tufted with remnants of a grayish arachnoid pubescence particularly 
on the axillary buds, inflorescence, and in the axils of the lateral 
nerves and veins as they leave the midnerve on the lower surface of 
the leaf, otherwise smoothish; stem round, opposite-branched; 
leaves opposite, petiolate, broadly ovate, acutish to acuminate, 
serrate except near the base and apex, membranaceous, paler and 
punctate beneath, somewhat pinnately 5-nerved from near the base, 
6-10 cm. long, more than half as wide; petiole about 2.5 em. long; 
corymbs compound, trichotomous, 1-4 dm. in diameter, at length 
flattish, the branchlets and pedicels covered with a somewhat floccu- 
lent crisped puberulence; heads about 12-flowered,. 7 mm. high;

Of this species no authentic material has been seen. It has been 
interpreted merely from the original diagnosis and from Dr. Kuntze’s 
specimens so identified by Prof. Hieronymus who presumably has 
had access to authentic material from Argentina. Two of Dr. 
Kuntze’s specimens are still doubtful, namely one from Sierra de 
Sta. Cruz, alt. 3000 m., May, 1892 (U. S.) and the other without 
data (N. Y.). These have closely the habit of this species as here
