Luzon, District of Lepaiito, Mount Data (4571 Merrill) Novcinl)er 4, 1905. 
Abundant in the mossy forests at about 2,200 m. 
Another form of tliis species is apparently represented by No. 4824 Merrill, 
Alount Tonglon, Province of Beuguet, Luzon, November 12, 1905, this number 
growing under similar conditions as tlie preceding, but with the petioles scarcely 
exceeding the leaf blade in lengtli. No species of the genus has previously been 
reported from the Pliilippines, the present species being apparently related to 
AinsUaea pteropoda DC.

A decidedly interesting addition to our knowledge of the northern 'element in 
tlie Philippine flora, growing in the mossy forests on tlie higher mountains and 
ridges above 2,000 m., no species of tlie genus having been previously reported 
from tlie Philippines. The form here referred to Carpesium cernuum Linn, is 
apparently closest to the va'r. glmidulosum Clarke in Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. 3 
(1881) 301. 
This exceedingly variable species extends from France to the Caucasus, the 
temperate Himalayan region, Kliasia and Nilglierry Mountains, China, and Japan, 
also according to Clarke to Java. I can find no record of its having been found 
in southern China or Formosa although another species, G. ahroianoides Linn., 
has been encountered in the latter place.

Luzon, District of Lepanto, Mount Data (4533 Merrill) November, 1905. On 
dry grassy slopes in thin pine forests at about 2,000 m., the second species of 
the genus to be found in the Philippines. China to British India and tropical 
Africa. 
EMILIA Cass. 
Emilia pinnatifida Merrill sp. nov. 
An erect, simple or sliglitl}^ liranclied herb 15 to 35 cm. high witli 
glabrous or more or less pubescent usually finely lyrately lobed leaves, 
the involucral bracts much shorter than the flowers. Stems glabrous, 
finely channeled. Leaves various, the radical ones sessile or short 
petioled, 4 to 5 cm. long or less, 1 to 1.5 cm. wide, glabrous or with 
scattered weak hairs beneath, the lobes irregular, 2 to 4 mm. wide, often 
extending nearly to the midrib, their margins irregularly crenate, the 
terminal lobe usually larger than the lateral ones; cauline leaves similar 
to the radical, sessile, clasping, few, the lower ones as long as the radical 
leaves, the upper one much reduced. Peduncles 2 to 7 cm. long. Heads 
1 cm. long, the flowers pink. Involucral bracts glalirous, 1-seriate, 7 
to 8 mm. long, about 5 mm. wide, oblong-lanceolate, acute or slightly 
acute, about 5-nerved. Achenes when mature nearly 3 mm. long, ob- 
scurely angled, finely pnlicscent; pappus copious, soft, white, about 6 mm. 
long, mimitely scalnid. Chrollas slender, 7 to 8 ram. long, 5-lobed, the
