1. Brachyris Californica. De Cand. Prod, b. p. 313. 
The genus Brachyris, as we have already mentioned, in the Companion to the Bot. Mag. II. p. 31, is 
not different from Guttierrezia of Lagasca, which name ought, by right of priority, to be adopted. This 
species is surely a var. of B. Euthamicc ; indeed we are even far from certain if the B, paniculata, Eutha- 
mi<B, Californica, and Texana, are not all forms of the G. linearifolia. Lag.

rubricaulis. De Cand. Prod. b.p. 316. 
1. Woodvillea calendulacea. De Cand. Prod. 5. p. 318. 
Of this we have found no specimens in our collection of Mr Douglas’ plants, but it seems probable, from 
the description given by De Candolle, and which seems to have been taken from an immature specimen, 
that it is the same as Aster Californicus, Less. — We may here remark, that we do not well see how this 
plant and Erigeron glaucum, Ker, differ ; the latter is supposed, by Ker, to have come from South 
America ; afterwards the locality of Buenos Ayres was given by some foreign botanists, we do not know 
for what reason. „ We have never received it from Buenos Ayres, and suspect the seeds may have been 
brought by Mr Menzies from California. 
1. Aplopappus linear if olius. De Cand. Prod. 5. p. 347. 
In some of the radical florets we find on each side a long subulate appendage, arising from the base of 
the ligule. 
2. A. florifer. Hook, et Arn. — a. foliis lineari-spathulatis. — Erigeron florifer. Hook. 
Flor. Bor. Am. 2. p. 20. — /3. foliis obovato-spathulatis. 
Hab. /3. Dry plains of the Snake Country. Mr Tolmie. 
This species is very nearly allied to A. linearifolius in the capsule and involucres, but the foliage is quite 
different. 
1. Pyrrocoma grindelioides. De Cand. Prod. 5. jo. 350. — Aplopappus squarrosus. Hook, 
et Arn. supra, p. 146. De Cand. Prod. 7. p. 280. 
The pappus of P. carthamoides, as well as of the present species and of the following, is certainly in a 
double series, the outer row similar to the inner, but shorter and more slender. There is therefore reason to 
fear that the genus must be either distinguished from Aplopappus solely by the homogamous capitula (but 
there are some Chilian species of Aplopappus without a ray) and tawny rigid patulous pappus, or the two 
should be united. 
2. P. Menziesii ; caule sulFruticoso, ramis elongatis simplicibus apice corymbosis, 
foliis lineari-spathulatis apice acute tridentatis punctatis glabris, corymbis compactis 
paucifloris, involucri obconici squamis imbricatis oblongis acutis apice herbaceis sub- 
patulis, achenio sericeo. 
This, so far as we know, has only been found by Mr Menzies ; it approaches closely to those species of 
Aplopappus placed in the section Aplodiscus by De Candolle. The receptacle is favose and fimbriated. 
The leaves seem to have been somewhat succulent when growing.
