          40740. EUPATORIUM SP.
From F. N. Meyer, near Siku, Kansu,
China. A small shrub, having masses
of white-rayed flowers with yellow
disks. Found on dry, stony places and
in dry pebbly river-beds at an elevation 
of 4500 feet, and therefore probably 
of some value as an ornamental
flowering shrub for dry regions.
