This genus, which inhabits the Victoria Alps, the mouutaius of New Zealand, and Lord Auckland’s Island,
is very closely allied to Ahrotanella of Euegia, and Scleroleima of Tasmania.—Small, tufted herbs, often forming
broad patches ou the gixiund. Leaves crowded, alterante,. linear or spathulate, entire. Capitula ou terminal
peduncles, or sessile amongst the uppermost leaves, oblong. Involucre of two series of linear, erect, coriaceous
scales. Florets all tubular, outer female in several series, with a cylindrical, narrow, three- or four-toothed corolla ;
style thick, exserted, bifid, w'ith rounded, glabrous apices to tbe lobes, and a tuberous base. Male florets fewer, sub-
campanidate above, quadrifid ; stamens four, anthers hardly cohering, style rather incrassated at the top, obscurely
two-lobed. Achenium with tlu-ee ov four thickened angles. Pappus none. (Name from rpets, three, and vzvpov,
a nerve; in allusion to the three transparent nerves of the involucral scales.)

Stems 2-4 inches high, Leaves puberulous, linear, spathulate or lauceolate, acute, 4-1 inch long. Peduncle

transparent nerves; flowers all quadiifid.—Muell.

(Page 217.) Gnaphalium alpigenum, Muell.
Mr. Archer agrees with me in thinking this an alpine form of (?. collinum, Lab. He bas found on the Western
Mountains a very distinct-looking variety of it, growing prostrate, with the leaves uniformly clothed with silvery
wool ou both surfaces, and one or (rarely) two capitula. This is the 0. involucratum, var. radicans, and var.
monocepkalum, MuelL, who discovered it on the Australian Alps at elevations of 5-6000 feet. His specimens, when
old, become scapigerous, the solitary capitula being borne on an elongated, slender, erect stem. To Archer and
myself it appears more referable to G. collinum or alpigenum than to involucratum.

Tlie involucral scales are more numerous and in more series in this than in G. alpigenum, but the plants are
otherwise very similar, and aU approach states of G. involucratum very closely.
