fined to the involucral scales of C. incana. The leaves are narrower, less coriaceous, more distinctly petiolate, 1 -1 4
inch long. Bracteæ of the scape less numerous, linear-subulate, covered with glandular pubescence, woolly in the
axils. Involucral scales rather squaiTose. Of the var. 0 I have no flowers, and it may belong to a different species :
the leaves are pale green, larger, 14-2 inches long, not so coriaceous, plane on the surface (not furrowed), elliptical,
acute and apiculate, with a distinct petiole and smooth furrowed sheaths ; bracteæ broader, silvery below and green
above.

I have only one specimen of this pretty species, which Mr. Bidwill remarks is a very small one ; it differs consequently
from C. incana and C. discolor in the size of the head, which is nearly 3 inches across, and in the squarrose
involucral scales.— Stems solitary. Leaves membranous for the genus, 3 -3 inches long, oblong-obovate, blunt,
crenate or toothed distantly, smooth above, pale green, below covered with dense, closely appressed, buff-coloured
(when diy), shining wool, through which the veins are seen. Scape stout, with large recurved bracteæ, covered
eveiywhere with glandular pubescence, as are the involucres. Achenia much longer than iu C. incana, hairy. Re-
rather deeply alveolate.—P late XXXIY''. B. Fig. 1, floret of ray ; 3, floret of disc ; 3, pappus ; 4, stamen ;

A remarkably distinct little species, very unlike its congeners at first sight, from wanting any down or white
woolly pubescence. Root and runners stiff, woody. Leaves f - 1 inch long, spreading, hard and coriaceous, obovate,
sharp, sharply and coarsely toothed, covered with glandular pubescence on both sides, as are the scapes, bracteolæ,
and involucral scales. Scapes 3-5 inches long, rigid, slender. Heads small, f - 1 inch across. Involucral scales
few, subulate, much shorter than the florets. Ligulæ of the ray few, narrow, revolute. Receptacle deeply alveolate,
with raised chaff-like margins. Achenium rather long, pilose.

The only New Zealand species forms a small, much-branched herb, a foot or so high, with woody prostrate
stems, quite unlike Eurybia, Olearia, or Celmisia in habit, but very near them in all characters of the flower, differing,
however, from all in the compressed (not rounded, cylindrical, or angled) achenium. The receptacle is very narrow,
much more so than is usual in the above genera, and the flowers of the ray have small, narrow, inconspicuous,
revolute ligulæ, which are hidden amongst the abundant dirty-white or reddish pappus ; the latter is double. Whole
plant covered with a short hispid pubescence, glandular on the peduncles, stems and branches, and involucre. Leaves
numerous, 4 inch loug, broadly wedge-shaped or linear-spathulate, three- to five-lobed at the apex. Branches 6-8
inches long, leafy, more or less elongated at the apex (but seldom for more than an inch) beyond the leaves, and
bearing solitary, erect, obconical heads, about as long as the leaves. Involucral scales in about two series, very
naiTow, linear, unequal, herbaceous, margin scarious. Ray florets in one series, white, tipped with pink. Achenia,
when ripe, nearly as long as the involucral scales, linear, compressed, hairy.—The few other known species of this genus
are confined to Austraba and Tasmania. (Name from its resemblance in botanical characters to the genus Eurybia.)

yellow flowers, with a white or purple revolute ray. Involucre of two series of narrow, linear, appressed scales.
Receptacle rather broad for tbe size of the capitulum, naked. Florets of the ray in one series, numerous, with
narrow revolute ligulæ, female, with compressed, oblong achenia, ending in a short beak and without pappus ;
florets of the disc tubular, five-toothed, male or hermaphrodite, with usually abortive achenia.—A smaU genus, containing
a few species in extra-tropical and Antarctic America, the Falkland Islands, New Holland, Tasmania, and
New Zealand. (Name from Xayr^vos, a flagon, and to bear; in allusion to the form of the achenia.)

Stems very short, or elongated, arising from slender thread-like runners. Leaves eight to twelve, all radical,
spreading. Petioles 4 -3 inches long, quite smooth or ciliated ; blades broadly oblong or rounded, obtusely and
coarsely toothed, sometimes pinnatifid at the base, quite smooth or covered with scattered hairs, 4 -1 inch long,
rather coriaceous. Scapes solitary, slender, erect, channelled, quite naked or with one or two subulate bracts, 2-6
inches long, perfectly smooth, or downy towards the summits. Heads variable in size, i - 4 inch across, with a conspicuous
ray of revolute broad ray-florets, which have smooth achenia. Scales of the involucre linear, blunt and
sharp ; margins toothed and ciliated irregularly.—Very closely allied to the Magellanic L. Commersonii, but the
whole plaut is larger, the ray much more conspicuous, and achenia smooth. The large ray-florets also dis-
tingnish it from the following.
