Monongahela in 1825. Van montana » 
6. K. taherosa Ilaf. 1333. K. critonia Mx. 
and Elliot exclus. Syn. Root tuberose, stem 
virgate striate pubescent; leaves alternate sessile 
linear entire, pubescent, margin revolute, flow- 
ers paniculate white, exterior sepals of the peri- 
anthe reflexed, pappus white. — In Carolina, dry 
soils, well described by Elliot but under a wrong 
name. 
7. K. fulva Raf. disc. 1818 descr. 1833 as 
K. media : entirely smooth, stem striate vir- 
gate, lower leaves opposite, upper alternate, all 
sessile linear lanceolate entire, long pale be- 
neath and not glandular; flowers paniculate yel- 
lowish, pappus fulvous — On the banks of the 
Ohio and hills of East Kentucky, about 2 feet 
high, leaves 3 inches, down or pappus very pe- 
culiar by its color. I sent my 2 N. Sp. to Decan- 
dole; but have not yet seen the 5th volume of his 
Synopsis. I possess yet several specimens of 1, 
5 and 7 to furnish to botanists, and they are 
figured in my Autikon. and Ic. rar. 
8. K. pubeseens Raf, men. Entirely pubes- 
cent, stem virgate striate, leaves subpetioi. lan- 
ceol. nearly entire, punctate, fl. paniculate, pap- 
pus fuivescent— Seen dry, said to grow in the 
mts. Alleghany, perhaps only a variety of the 
K. tuber osa , or fulva or K. eupatorioides ; 
but the down was not white in the specimen: 
probably mistaken by many for the 2 usual spe- 
cies, whence the difference of descriptions. I 
deem the color of the down truly essential. 
9. K. rosmarinifolia, Vent. Pers, &c. Leaves 
canescent linear lanceolate semiamplexic. very 
entire, margin revolute, peduncles terminal uni- 
flore, fl, purple, pappus white ? In Cuba, com- 
pare it with K. tuherosa ; but the flowers sep- 
arate them. Eup. canescens Ortega dec . 34.
