Pàgina 397 - If it possess root leaves, some of these should be included. Lay the specimen flat in a fold of newspaper and place this in a pile of newspapers, carpet felting, or some other form of paper which readily absorbs moisture, and place the pile in a dry place under a pressure of about 20 to 30 pounds, sufficient to keep the leaves from wrinkling as they dry. If a number of specimens are pressed at the same time, each is to be separated from the others by three or four folded newspapers or an equivalent...

Pàgina 468 - In dry or rocky soil, Cullman, Alabama, October, 1885. A very distinct species of the confused genus Silphium, related to what I take to be S. asperrimum Hook., hitherto usually called .S". scaberrimum. It is at once distinguished by the copious shaggy pubescence of its foliage as against the short retrorse pubescence of its relative. The peculiarly toothed leaves with their less rounded bases, and the smaller heads with their narrower bracts and shorter rays are additional distinguishing characters....

Pàgina 397 - ... kitchen range. When dry the specimens should be mailed between cardboards or some other light but stiff materials, which will not bend in transit. It is a most important matter that the name and address of the sender should be attached to the package, and that the specimens, if more than one, should be numbered, the sender retaining also specimens bearing the same number, to facilitate any correspondence which may follow. The Sub-Commission requests that, so far as practicable, all plants sent...
Pàgina 173 - A specimen was collected by the author near Whitman, Neb., in 1893. In the report it was doubtfully referred to U. dioica (Rydberg, no. 1790). It is evidently near U. gracilis, from which it differs in the broader thinner leaves, the smaller flower-clusters and the nearly complete absence of bristles. CORIOSPERMUM VILLOSUM n. Sp. Stem 2-4 dm. high, much branched from near the base, the branches divergent, striate, when young with the leaves and bracts villous with many branched hairs, in age glabrate...
