Compositae Curation

The Cuatrecases backlog was processed. Also, the genera Spilanthes and Acmalla was curated according to R.K. Jauseus's 1985 treatment. Specimens were shifted, folders printed, and the Eupatoriae tribe was reorganized. New species of Cosmos were also described for the Flora of Guianas.
