Coreopsis stenophylla is related to C. cardaminefolia (DC. ) T. & G. u The 

 wiry stems and crowded, erect leaves which are mostly longer than the internodes, 

 give C. steno^hylla a very different aspect, and these characters serve to dis- 

 tinguish it from any form of the above mentioned species. The type material 

 was collected in pine woods near Hammond, Louisiana, September 17, igoo, and 

 is preserved in the Biltmore Herbarium. — F. E. Boynton.
