Gymnolomia (naked boarder, because the pappus is minute or none). Compositae. About 20 yellow-fld. herbs or woody plants from Ga. to Mex., much like small-fld. helianthus. Lvs. alternate or opposite on erect branching sts.: fl.-heads on peduncles terminating the branches; involucre hemispherical or bell-shaped, with narrow bracts in 2 or 3 series; receptacle chaffy, more or less conical; ray-fls. pistillate and sterile; disk- fls. perfect, producing 4-angled achenes. Allied to Viguiera, and distinguished by the obsolete or wanting pappus. Probably none of the species is in cult. G. P6rteri, Gray, occurs on Stone Mt., Ga.: 1-2 ft. high, slender, with 5-8 oval or obovate rays ½ in. or more long, deep orange-yellow. The other species are of the Tex-ano-Mex. region. L. H. B.
