late : bracts biserial, with large clear-white oblong-ovate obtuse tips : bristles of the pappus only slightly dilated and sharply serrulate at the tip. Collected only by E. L. Greene, on an open hillside at Harper's Ferry, May 14, 1898; only one large patch seen, and that male. Though obviously a near relative of A. Parlinii and arnoglossa,' its small size, very differently shaped foliage and peculiarly narrowed and serrulated male pappusbristles, compel one to regard it as wholly distinct. I hope that the female plant may be detected at no distant time. There is no A. arnoglossa in the Harper's Ferry region. A. NEOdioiCA Greene. Dry situations.
