translated. — Near Hacienda de la Laguna, October, Schiede and 
Deppe ; also Cordillera of Oaxaca, Galeotti , no. 2090 (acc. to 
Hemsl.). Exceptional in its discoid heads and perhaps not of this 
genus. 
Transferred or suppressed species. 
G. decurrens, Klatt, Leopoldina, 23, 90, is G. platylepis , Gray, 
— an identity recognized by Dr. Klatt himself as shown by a 
manuscript note in his herbarium. 
G. ehrenbergiana, Klatt, Leopoldina, 23, 90, is G. patens, 
Gray. 
G. rudis, Gray (in Wats., Proc. Amer. acad., 22, 424) is G. 
parkinsonii, Hemsl., Biol. Cent.-Amer. Bot., 2, 163, — an identity 
kindly verified by Mr. Hemsley by comparison of the types. 
G. silvatica, Klatt, Leopoldina, 25, 104 (1889); Bull. soc. bot. 
Belg., 31, 199 (1892). Representing this species in the Klatt her¬ 
barium we find two specimens collected by Lehmann at Cuenca, 
altitude 2,000 m., 16 October, 1879, Pittier’s no. 6987, collected at 
San Rafael de Carthago, altitude 1,500 m., 28 August, 1892, and 
an excellent drawing of a specimen collected at Mt. Irazu, Costa 
Rica, by Dr. Hoffman. All of these appear to be identical and to 
agree in all more conspicuous characters with the original descrip¬ 
tion. Nevertheless, careful dissections show that the ray-achenes 
are fertile and the ligules sessile indicating that the species is a 
Heliopsis. 
G. triloba, Gray, with fertile ray-flowers and an unequal scale¬ 
like pappus, is certainly a Zaluzania. The specific name triloba 
having been used in the latter genus the species may be transferred 
as Z. grayiana, n. comb. 
G. trip liner vi a, Klatt, in Engl. Jahrb., 8, 42 (not HBK.), is 
a Heliopsis, the ray-flowers being distinctly pistillate and fertile, 
while the ligules are sessile, not contracted into a slender tube at 
the base. 
Gymnopsis verbesinoides, DC. (Prodr., 5, 561) of the Island of 
Trinidad is an Aspilia. 
Gymnopsis vulcanica, Stectz in Seem. Bot. herald, 157, appears 
from the description and the examination of a single head to be 
Gymnolomia costaricensis , Bentli.
