Stephanomeria
(from stephanos, a crown, and meris, a part; a name of no particular application). SYN. Jamesia (of Nees). ORD. Compositae. A genus comprising about eight species of hardy, glabrous, annual or perennial herbs, natives of North-west America. Flower-heads pink and white, radiate, sometimes terminal and erect, sometimes fascicled at the sides of the branches; ray florets ligulate, truncately fivetoothed at apex. Leaves alternate, narrow, entire, remotely toothed, runcinate-pinnatifid, or the cauline ones reduced to short scales. Stems erect, simple or divaricately branched. Probably none of the species are now grown in this country.
