Leconte, anonymous in Coll, herb, stem pedal 
quite smooth, leaves levigate over one inch long, 
peduncle 5 or 6 inches long, calix adpressed 
turbinate, rays pale red very broad about 8, the 
flowers at the end of the two branches sessile 
and perhaps abortive. 
915. BIND ERA Raf. N. G. near Aster, 
Binder in Coll. herb. diff. Aster, perianthe in a 
double series, each of 10 to 12 adpressed equal 
scariose segments, rays about 15 entire acute, 
pappus simple capillary fulvous as long as flo- 
rets, seeds ovate pubescent. Leaves scattered 
sessile , flowers white, involucr ate — apparently 
distinct from all the G. lately removed from 
Aster by perianthe, dedicated to the discoverer; 
if not approved as he is not much known as a 
botanist, I will substitute Xalkitis a grecian 
name of Leucanthemum. 
916. Bindera (or Xalkitis) ciliata Raf. 
hirsute, leaves sessile cuneate acute, scabrose 
by adpressed hairs, margin stiffly ciliate ; flow- 
ers terminal few subsessile, involucrate by 2 or 
3 leaves, segments of perianthe linear acute pu- 
bescent whitish, rays white, narrow linear acute 
—discovered by Binder in Louisiana or Florida, 
branched, leaves uncial crowded, the lower less 
ciliate, the upper strongly ciliate, flowers uncial, 
perianthe with equal segments in each row, the 
inner row longer, pappus smooth silky fulvous. 
917. JALXMBICA Raf. Fiosculose, peri- 
anthe 4ffd base campanulate 4gone, limb 
spreading, phoranthe flat naked with 4 flowers, 
2 larger fertile florets opposite, infundibuliform 
4fid segments reflexed, 4 stamens exerted elon- 
gated, anthers oblong, style bifid elongate, seeds
