N o t e . I have seen no Tasmanian species exactly according witli D e Candolle’s B . Sieberi, var. Gunnii (Frodr. v.
306), aud suspect that the B . stricia may be the plant alluded to, which however is always much larger and stouter
than B. Sieberi, and has winged achenia.

The only species o f the genns, and so very similar to the entire-leaved fonns o f Brachycome radicans and B.
angustifolia as to be easily mistaken for that plant, but differing in the absence of pappus, in the achenia having
very thick, corky margins, and in the fiinbrill® on the receptacle.— Rhizome slender, creeping, throwing up slender,
erect branches. Leaves 1 -5 inches long, very narrow, acute, gi-aduaUy broader upwards, all radical, or alternate
on the slender stem. Peduncle slender, erect, glabrous, pubescent below the capitulum. Involucral scales linear-
oblong, subacute, puberulous, with broad, membranous margins. (Derivation of name unknown to me.)

Omnia u t in Brachycome, sed acheniis obovato-oblongis compressis rostratis epapposis.— Herbae g r á c

The species o f this genus, o f which about ten are known, are, with the exception of one, natives o f the
•southern temperate z o n e ; tbree are from New Zealand, one is a native o f South ChUi, five or six are Australian
and Tasmanian, of which one (or possibly several allied ones) inhabits also Japan, China, and the East Indies.
All are herbs, witb slender, underground, creeping rhizomes, spreading, radical leaves, and slender, leafless, leafy,
or bracteate scapes, terminated by a small capitulum. The structure of the capitulum and flowers almost entirely
accords with Brachycome, but the achenia are obovate, and suddenly contracted to a glandular beak. (Name from
Xayuvos, a flagon, and to bear; in aUusion to the form o f tbe achema.)

I am quite unable to define the vai-ieties of this protean species, which sports from a little plant, 1 inch high,
m th radical, spreading leaves, and a sohtaiy scape, to a branching, subcaulescent herb, whose several scapes, 8 -1 0
inches long, arising from one root, bear alternate leaves for half their length. The leaves and scapes are pubescent,
tomentose, or almost glabrous.— lea v e s oblong or obovate-spathulate, 1 -3 inches long, on loug or short
petioles, crenate, lobed or almost pinnatifid. Involucral scales in three series, the outer shorter, subulate, spreading.
Flowers of the rays pale purplish, those of the disc yeUow. Achenia broadly obovate, contracted to a cylindrical
beak.— Sieber’s No. 505, quoted by De Candolle as his B. media, and to which variety that author also refers
the plant figured by Labillardière, appears to me to be a different species, witb a smaller capitulum ; it is perhaps
Mueller’s L. pachyrhiza, which is also a Swan River species, and perhaps L. Hiigelii, Benth.

Y’^ery nearly allied to L . Biilardieri, and perhaps only a variety o f that species, but the leaves are broader in
proportion, and the achenia are much narrower, lanceolate, and gradually contracted into the beak.

This again is very closely allied to L. Biilardieri, and may prove a variety o f it ; but tbe numerous specimens
belonging to three numbers in Gimn’s collection accord v e iy closely together, and differ from L. Biilardieri in being
very glabrous, in the usually smaller size, narrow', lauceolate, acute leaves, in the more blunt involucral scales, and
in the narrower achenium, which is less suddenly contracted into the beak.— P l a t e XLIX, A . Fig. 1, capitulum ;

A larger species than any of the foregoing, with smaller capitula in proportion to the size of the plant, usually
many leafy bracts on the numerous scapes, wliich are rarely naked, and broadly obovate achenia, suddenly contracted
iuto a cylindrical beak, and with very short tubes to the flowers o f the ray.— Leaves very tomentose on both
surfaces, all radical, shortly petioled, obovate or oblong-lanceolate, often gradually dilated from the base upwards,
rounded at the apex, coarsely siuuated and toothed. Capitula 4—f inch across; ray pale purjile.— P l a t e XLIX. A.
