sebracemose few and small— Apalachian Mis. N 
of Virginia and Carolina, different from L. 
hirsula by leaves entire, the lower 6 to 8 inches 
long, stem 2 or 3 feet high. 
952. Eunoxis (Agathyrsus) amabilis Raf. 
smooth, stem subsolid terete, leaves sessile am- 
ple ovate acute angular or denticulate, lower 
base decurrent cuneiform, floral oblong suben- 
tire, branches racemose paniculate pyramidal, 
peduncles elongate naked, flowers blue, pappus 
white — Mts. Alleghany, 4 to 5 feet high, leaves 
4 to 10 inches long, a profusion of pretty blue 
flowers. I have changed Agathyrsus name 
already preoccupied for a G. of shells for Eu- 
noxis an ancient name of Lettuce, and I give 
this sp, as a specimen out of a dozen sp. that I 
possess, the color of flowers and pappus is spe- 
cific in this Genus. N k 
953. NarbalIa latifolia Raf. smooth, stem 
terete flex nose, leaves broad thin petiolate glau- 
cous beneath subdentate, lower on long petiols 
deltoid hastate broader than long, trinerve, lobes 
divaricate deltoid acute, upper leaves ovate acu- 
minate, racemes axillary, perianthe 5flore 
Sparted— in Alts. Alleghanies, stem 2-3pedal, 
whitish sometimes rubicund, radical leaves with 
petiols one foot long, leaf 10 inches broad 8 
long, upper leaves 2 or 3 inches long, flowers 
white drooping, perianthe incarnate. The pre* 
vious good name Narbalia of Cassini adopted 
by Hooker must prevail over Harpalyce of 
Don adopted by Beck later and formed from 
Harpa a shell. Even the G. musf be divided, 
I give this as an instance of the real Narbalia, 
of which I have 25 species, those with multiflore 
perianthe form my next Genus ; while the Pre- 
nanthes tenui folia and paucijlora of Torrey
