Cape Colony, and the present species, which differs in shaj 

 and cutting of leaves, looseness of corymb, and number of 

 florets in the head. 



Eumorphia sericea, Wood & Evans. 



An erect branching shrub, 18 inches to 2 feet high, branches 

 terete, woody, cobwebby, older ones sub-glabrous. Leaves 

 fasciculate, fascicles opposite, each containing 5- 10 linear, 

 entire, silky leaves, 2-6 inches long, 4-5 lines wide, involucral 

 scales in many series, imbricate, erect, silky, with broad 

 membranous margin. Receptacle convex, paleaceous, palae 

 membranaceous enclosing the young achenes. Rays ligulate, 

 3 dentate, 5-7 lines long, pinky white, disk florets tubular, 5 

 toothed, tube dilated in upper portion, yellow. Anthers not 

 tailed. Style branches divergent, truncate, minutely pappillose 

 at apex. Achenes glabrous, striate. Pappus none.

 man's River Pass, 8-10,000 feet altitude. April, M. S. Evans, 

 No. 715. 



A much branched undershrub, aasuming a compact rounded 

 form. Differs from E Dregeana D.C. the only other species 

 of the genus, in size, shape and indument of leaves, which in 

 this species are not nearly so closely imbricated, nor decussate ; 

 and in its much larger flower heads, which are are always 

 solitary. 



Selago monticola, Wood & Evans. 



Stem 2-3 feet high, woody, erect, branching above, terete, 

 slender, pilose. Leaves sessile, varying from linear to linear- 

 oblong, obtuse, papillose, margin finely and sharply toothed, in 

 lower portion of the stem solitary, in upper portion fasciculate, 

 fascicles 4-8 leaved, 2-6 lines long, 1-2 wide. Inflorescence 

 laxly corymbose, the divisions shortly and densely flowered at 

 apex. Flowers minute, Bracts ovate-oblong, obtuse, concave, 

 ciliate at apex and at base, not reaching the apex of calyx 

 lobes. Calyx 5-fid, lobes sub-equal, shorter than tube ciliate, 

 Corolla 5-fid, tube equalling the calyx, lobes, sub-equal, obtuse, 

 as long as the tube. Capsule ovate, a little longer than the 

 caly x .
