ROBINSON & GREENMAN : CONTRIB. GRAY HERBARIUM. 99 
scabrous : leaves alternate or scattered (the middle ones occasion¬ 
ally verticillate), 6 to 13 cm. long, 1.2 to 3.4 cm. broad, promi¬ 
nently 3-nerved : heads on long stout ascending alternate peduncles, 
subglobose, 2 to 2.5 cm. in diameter. — Biol. Cent.-Amer. Bot., 
2, 163. G. midis , Gray, Proc. Amer. acad., 22, 424. G. rudis , 
var. minor , Rob. and Greenm., ibid, 29, 387 (small form). — The 
type (in herb. Kew), collected in Mexico, without locality, by Park¬ 
inson, has brownish-purple dowers. This form is represented also 
by Palmer's no. 531 from the Rio Blanco, Jalisco, Pringle’s no. 
4584 from rocky hills near Tequila (small form), and Pose's no. 
3031, coll, between Bolahos and Guadalajara, and no. 3700 coll, 
at Bolahos. This typical form is connected by variegated transi¬ 
tions with a forma flaviflora in which both disk- and ray-dowers 
are golden yellow. The latter form is represented by Pringle's 
no. 2460, from hillsides near Guadalajara, Palmer's no. 533 from 
the Rio Blanco, and Pose's no. 2827, coll, between Colotlan and 
Bolahos, Jalisco. No morphological differences between the indi¬ 
viduals with brown-purple dowers and those with yellow dowers 
have been detected.
