narrow lanceolate, somewhat serrate in the mid- 
dle, flowers in a multiflore compound corymb. 
3 Var. angustif olia, stem simple pedal leaves 
linear lanceolate entire, flowers in a simple 
pauciflore corymb. These 2 last are probably 
the C ritonia of Gaertner and others, yet they 
are perhaps nothing else but various ages of the 
plant ? but since they have been mistaken for 
species, they must be properly noticed. 
2. K. altaica Raf. If the Sibirian plant is 
distinct as probable, it may be distinguished by 
Stem really pubescent, leaves triuncial alterne 
rough decurrent, lanceolate base not attenuated. 
This is Enp. alternifolium Arduin tab. 20, and 
Linneus in first editions. 
3. K. dasypia Raf. eupatorioides Elliot. 
Stem branched pubescent, leaves alternate, lan- 
ceolate unequally serrate, glandular punctate, 
triuncial, rough above, pubescent beneath ; 
flowers paniculate white, pappus white. Mea- 
dows of Alabama and Georgia. 
4. K. glutinosa Elliot, glutinose pubescent, 
leaves lanceolate alterne sess. serrate laciniate, 
upper entire; flowers corymbose panicled. Mea- 
dows of Alabama, well described by Elliot, who 
sent me a specimen. Stem bipedal, branched, 
viscose glands mixt with hairs all over. 
5. K. elliptica Raf. discovered 1823 descri- 
bed 1833. Stem striate pubescent, branches 
and leaves opposite, leaves sessile smooth, elliptic 
uncial, serrate in the middle, glandular beneath, 
flowers whitish in lax multiflore corymbs, pap- 
pus cinereous — Falls of the R. Cumberland, 3 
feet high; very handsome species. The K. gla- 
bra of my monograph 1833 which I mistook for 
the linnean sp. is only a variety of this with 
stem smooth, leaves subpetiolate, flowers less 
lax. I found it in the Alleghany mts. on the
