the akin genera with winged stems, and my 
* Cauloma that has naked seeds. It has even 
2 subgenera, and Anomeris is quite distinct. 
I. Oliglosis Raf. Perianthe uniserial, rays 2 
to 3, seeds marginate, alternate leaves . 
1. A. squarrosa N. Coreopsis alter nifolia 
L. Leaves scabrous, lanceolate serrate. — Can- 
ada to Florida : several varieties ; but the Alba 
icithout rays , is a peculiar Genus ! Anomeris . 
Yar .procera, tall, 6 to 10 feet high, flowers 
paniculate. Coreopsis procera Aiton. 
Var . pauciflora, stem simple, few flowered, 
leaves lanceolate serrate. 
Yar. serrulata , Stem simple few flowered, 
leaves oblong lanceolate serrulate. — the A . pau 
cijlora Nutal, hardly distinct from the last. — - 
Kentucky and Florida. Ail seen alive. Autikon. 
The A. alata N. of Mexico, with opposite 
leaves is probably congeneric with Verbesina 
siegesbeckia my G. Anomantha. 
II. Megactelis Perianthe biserial 10 to 12, 
seeds hardly marginate, leaves alternate sessile , 
Perhaps belonging to my G. Cauloma . 
2. A. helianthoides N. Leaves lanceolate 
acute serrate, hairy beneath, flowers coarctate, 
perianthe linear lanceolate rays 9. — Ohio to 
Louisiana. Seen alive. 
3. A. Ellioti Raf. A. helianthoides , E. Stem 
and leaves scabrous, ovate lanceolate serrate 
acute, flowers corymbose, perianthe oval, rays
