NEOPHYTON.

with the last by Hooker, his description in- 
cluding both, his figure appears the texan plant 
which has been sent me by Torrey, and I des- 
cribe original specimens of Drummond ; it has 
also a var. triflora , with leaves all acutish and 
only 3 flowers. The folioles of the perianthe 
are lanceolate acuminate in all the sp. not 
linear as Hooker says, the seeds are obovate 
pubescent. 
241. Parthenium angustifolium Raf. stem 
virgate angulate smooth, above rough, lower 
leaves petiolate narrow cuneate or oblong cre- 
nate obtuse rough, upper leaves sessile ovato- 
blong ; flowers corymbose globose, fol. of pe- 
rianthe ovate rounded acute — In the barrens or 
glades of West Kentucky, 2 or 3 feet high, 
petiols long, leaves 6 to 8 inches long, 1 or 2 
broad. Very distinct from the 3 next sp. all 
are estival and perennial. 
242. Parthenium pumilum Raf. stem dwarf, 
striate, smooth, lower leaves petiolate obovate 
crenate obtuse rough, upper cuneate sessile 
nearly entire acute ; corymb glomerate, fol. of 
perianthe ovate acute rough— In the mts. Wa- 
rioto or Cumberland, stem smooth striate semi- 
pedal, leaves rough small, flowers white. 
243. Parthenium sinuatum Raf. stem sul- 
cate elate smooth, leaves nearly glabrous ru- 
gose, radical ample petiolate ovate deltoid sin- 
uate laciniate, obtuse, stem leaves sessile am- 
plexicaule ovate repand sinuolate ; corymb 
sessile glomerate, fol. of perianthe rounded — 
Mts, of Virginia, probably blended with the 
next by Authors, but by no means integrifoli - 
urn ! large leaves, lower often 10 inches long 
decurrent on the petiols, flowers few globular 
whitish. Stem commonly 3 feet high.
