[A commentary on the possible evolutionary origin of a population of asters that was recently described (in Michigan Botanist, 2000) as a hybrid between two species growing nearby. In the author’s view, these plants are more likely a separate species (not a hybrid), still formally unnamed. Further field and lab work (with collaborators) are underway to reach a more definitive explanation of its origin, which also will influence the way in which a formal name might be applied to it.]

[A commentary on the taxonomy of this genus, which is distributed from South America northward into Mexico. The author transfers five Mexican species (four originally named by him) from the genus Gnaphaliothamnus to Chionolaena, where they are a better fit.]
