А suffrutescent evergreen, 2-3 feet high, upright, smooth, 
viscous, with a round branching pale brown stem; branches 
remarkably upright and straight, white, angular, flexuose, 
leafy, one-flowered. Leaves far apart, scattered, upright, 
patent, obovately oblong, mucronately pointed, reticulately 
veined, porously viscid, serrulately roughed at the edge, 
and generally indented at the upper portion by several sharp 
pointed teeth, sometimes round the whole edge, stemclasp- 
ing, decurrent by three nerves, the two lobules at the base 
wing by the inner edge to the stem, considerably farther 
p than where the midrib is attached : floral ones about 
three, of a rather different form, ovate or oblong-lanceo- 
late. Flowers bright yellow, terminal, nearly sessile, so- 
Бегу. Calyx of numerous leaflets in several ranks, herba- 
ceous, 'squarrosely imbricated, suffused more copiously with 
viscous secretion than any other part of the plant; leaflets 
close at the base, lanceolately linear, externally a little 
convex, lower ones mucronate narrower spreading and ге- 
curved, upper upright slightly patent, innermost mem- 
branous, whitish, applied closely to the flower. Ray of one 
rank, with many florets, twice as long as the calyx; tube 
of the florets long, lamina or blade with a double plait, in- 
dented at the end with two minute teeth: germen turbinately 
oblong, five-nerved, angular: pappus sessile, awnlike, fea- 
thered, of few pieces, unequal, slightly incurved: stigmas 
2, linear, protruded above the tube. Disk with very pale 
yellow florets, equal to the calyx, smooth, with small up- 
right pointed teeth: anthers enclosed; pollen yellow:. stig- 
‘mas two, linear, extruded their whole length: germen like 
that of the ray. Receptacle flat, pitted, roughened over by 
the dentately extended margins ob the small excavations or 
pits in which the germens stand. 
The drawing was taken in February at the nursery of 
Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and Milne, King’s Road, Par- 
.son's Green, Fulham. Cultivated in the greenhouse, and 
is in flower most part of the year. Requires no particular 
attention in the culture of it. `
