The very pale colour of the ray of tMs plant seems to have deceived the older authors iu regard to its
genus. In this respect it differs from the majority of Senecio?ies, as also iu the apices of the involucral scales not
being sphacelated. I t is allied to the discoid S. Kingii, mihi.

H ab. Falkland Islands, very abundant ; Gaudichaud, and aU subsequent collectors.
As is stated under the S. Falklandicus, the varieties a and /3 of S. littoralis belong to two veiy different
species. The one for wMch I have retained the name, is generally a maritime plant, usually gi-owing in marshy
places and never altogether woolly, or more so in its youngest state than when older. The leaves are extremely
variable, straight or falcate, obtuse or generally acute, one hne to nearly one third of an inch broad, strictly linear
or obovato-lanccolate, sometimes, though rarely, obscurely sinuato-dentate.
A fully grown plaut of this is very handsome; I possess a specimen only a foot high, and with a simple stem,
though brandling so copiously above as to bear upwards of a huncb-ed flowers, all fuUy blown and each nearly an
inch and a half in diameter.

H a b . Falkland Islands, abnndant, especially amongst loose quartz rocks on th e liills ; 1 / Urville, Capt.
Sulivan, Mr. Chartres, J . D. H . -
A very handsome and singular plant, almost confined to the “ Streams of stones,” which are those cnrious
tracts of land covered with loose blocks of quartz, abounding in some parts of the Falkland Islands. There the
Nassauvia serpens grows, sending its brittle stems, several fathoms long, down amongst the masses of rock, tiU they
reach the sod. often nt a considerable depth. The plant varies somewhat in the foliage, the leaves being suberect
or recurved, and more or less silky.
