* On the basis of his investigations, Carlquist (Madrofio 13: 226-239. 1956) concludes that Eriophyllum 
lanosum and E. wallacei belong to the apcnod Antheropeas Rydb. rather than mie phyllum. This conclusion is 
on the subulate anther-tips, the cuneate tips of the style-branches, and lower chromosome number.
