large leafy limb to the involucre of the fruit. Of the var. A I have seen no fruit. It may probably constitute
a new species.

species from M. Xalappensis. Our specimens of what we consider that plant, gathered in Mexico, are quite
the same as Chamisso’s, so that this species has a very extensive range.
