Abstract

Footnotes * In a recent part of the ‘Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia,’ 1869, p. 189, Mr. T. Meehan observes that in Ambrosia artemisiæfolia this inflexed setiform appendage is only to be found on anthers which do not present perfect pollen; the abundantly polliniferous anthers are broad, without-horns. * Two or three new genera and a few new species received since this paper was placed in the printers' hands, would already require some slight changes in a few of the figures of some of the following Tables. * Since this paper has been in the printer's hands it has been pointed out to me by Asa Gray that De Candolle's name Bigelovia has the right of priority for this genus. * Since these Tables have been made out the collections of Hillebrand have added one endemic genus and two or three endemic species to the Sandwich-Island Compositæ. * I use the word “seed” here in the popular sense, which, in Compositæ, is the botanical achene, including the inseparable pericarp.
