93. Ainsliaea ningpoensis n. s. 



Herb perennial, 2-4 dm. high, pilose; rhizome creeping?; 

 radical leaves rosulate, petiolate, petiole thick, 1.5-3 cm. long, 

 lanuginose; lamina (6x3.5 cm.) ovate or ovate-oblong, acute, 

 apiculate, cordate at base, sparingly pilose above, lanuginose 

 underneath, especially on the nerves, margin lanuginose, re- 

 motely callose-deiiticulate ; scape spiciform, rarely contractedly 

 paniculate (an abnormal form ?), heads numerous, subsessile, 

 involucre narrow, 9 mm. long, involucre-bracts many-seriate, 

 outer short, inner elongate, the longest one 9 mm. long ; flowers 

 3 or 4, white ?, corolla-tube 7 mm. long, limb 5-parted, segments 

 linear, 4 mm. long, anthers 4 mm. long incl. tails, achenes cast- 

 aneous, striate, pubescent, 4 mm. long, pappus plumose, pale

This species is closely allied to A. apiculata Sch. Bip. (Miq. 

 Prol. 119), but the leaves are not lobulate ; while in the latter 

 sp. they are always lobulate or angulate. It may prove a 

 form of A. iragrans Champ, which I do not see.
