RYDBERG: Rocky MOUNTAIN FLORA 159 
4-9 cm. long; blades thick, oval, 3-6 cm. long, I.5-4 cm. wide, 
rounded or obtuse at the apex, abruptly contracted below, coarsely 
dentate-crenate with triangular-ovate, obtuse teeth ; lower stem- 
leaves similar, the petioles with enlarged toothed or lobed stipule- 
like bases ; the upper short-petioled and narrower ; inflorescence 
corymbiform ; heads many, about 1 cm. high; bracts linear, 
abruptly acute, 5-7 mm. long, slightly villous ; rays bright-yellow, 
1-12 mm. long, about 2 mm. wide; achenes glabrous, round- 
angled. 
This is perhaps most closely related to S. cymbalarioides, but 
differs in the stouter, more branched and more leafy stem and the 
large ample stem-leaves. It grows in the higher mountains of 
Colorado.

Senecio Tracyi Rydb. 
Perennial with a short rootstock; stem about 4 dm. high, 
glabrous ; basal leaves glabrous, long-petioled ; petioles 3-10 cm. 
long, slender ; blades round-oval or oval, thin, 1.5—5 cm. long, 
{—3 cm. wide, entire or merely wavy, rounded at the apex, rounded, 
truncate or subcordate at the base; stem-leaves lanceolate, acu- 
minate, 2-6 cm. long or the uppermost still smaller, sinuate-cre- 
nate, the lower cuneate at the base, the upper auriculate-clasping; 
inflorescence a small compact cyme; heads 8-11, broadly turbi- 
nate, 6-7 mm. high; bracts linear, abruptly acute, glabrous, the 
calyculate ones subulate, sparingly arachnoid ; rays yellow, 6-8 
mm. long, about 2 mm. wide. 
The species belongs to the S. aureus group and is somewhat 
intermediate between S. crocatus, S. pyrrochrous and S. fedifolius. 
From the two first it differs in the paler rays and the form of the 
stem-leaves and from the last in the much larger size and the pres- 
ence of rays. It grows at an altitude of 3150 m.

obovate, thick, 2-3 cm. long, 8-18 mm. wide, loosely Hoccose
