MEXICO.— SUPPLEMENT. 
[ Composite. 
capitulis raultifloris, involucri squaqiis striatis nitidis imbricatis exterioribus lanceolato- 
interioribus longioribus angustissimo-linearibus, corollae perangustoe lobis brevissimis 
obtusis, pappo aequali e setis tenuibus fuscis 12-14 corollae longitudinem aequante. 
Hab. Acapulco. — Whether of the genus Phania of De Candolle or not, it is doubtless a congener with 
our Phania ? urenifolia, supra, p. 297. The habit is quite the same, and the involucre and corolla : the 
leaves however and the pappus are extremely different. 
1. Stevia (n. sp.) ; pubescenti-glandulosa superne praecipue, folds oppositis 
ellipticis seu ovato-ellipticis serratis trinerviis basi brevi-attenuatis sessilibus, capitulis 
glomeratis corymboso-paniculatis, pappi setis 3-4 asperis longitudine corollae. 
Hab. Between San Bias and Tepic. — A tall growing shrubby plant with a good deal the appearance of 
Stevia trachelioides, DC. and Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 3856: — but the pappus is extremely, different, having 
no paleae and only from 3 to 4 long scabrous setae. It has not enough of setae to range with De Candolle’s 
Div. Multiaristatce. 
2. Hebeclinium Tepicanum (u. sp.) ; fructicosum, glabrum, folds raembranaceis ovato- 
lanceolatis acuminatis petiolatis pellucido-punctatis serratis, panicula terminad thyrsoidea, 
capitulis parvis subquinquefloris, involucri imbricati squamis ellipticis obtusis striatis, 
acheniis obovatis angulatis, pappi setis sub-20 corollae longitudine apicibus clavellatis 
plumosis. 
Hab. Between San Bias and Tepic. — The general aspect of this plant is very similar to that of the well 
known H. macrophyllum, but the branches are woody to, .the very apices, as in Mr Bentham’s H. macro- 
cephalum. The leaves are nearly a span long, copiousl;|-;p^llucido-p,unctate, the involucres apd the size of 
the capitula are as in the former mentioned species.^^,

1. Erigeron velutipes (n. sp.) ; annuunO^rvum pubescens, caule erecto superne pani- 
culato basi pids albis patentibus dense vestito, fodis acutis inferioribus spathulatis grosse 
inciso-serratis superioribus linearibus integerriniis, peduncuds elongatis- parce pilosis 
monocepbads, involucri hemisphaerici squamis linearibus scarioso-marginatis, dguds 
copiosis disco duplo longioribus. 
Hab. Between San Bias and Tepic.' — This may be placed near E. scaposum, DC. n. 27, but the stem 
is always branched or panicled even in the smallest specimens, and the base of the stem and attenuated 
bases of the lower leaves are densely clothed with long white hairs. 
1. Clirysopsis? scaftm (n. sp.) ; annua gracilis erecta superne paniculata, fodis inte- 
gerrimis acutissimis radicadbus spathulatis caudnisque oppositis lanceolatis summis 
linearibus subulatisve bracteiformibus, involucri squamis linearibus pubescenti-hirsutis, 
dguds sub-12 disco duplo longioribus, pappi simpdcis seriei setis 3-5 scabridis longitudine 
fere tubi basi dilatato-paleaceis. 
Hab. Between San Bias and Tepic. — An annual, herbaceous plant, 1 foot to IJ foot high ; the leaves, 
except those of the panicle, are opposite (!) and the pappus certainly is not double ; so that though it has the
