That this plant, and we suppose also C. limaris, is of 
quite a distinct genus from Cacalia, we apprehend there 
can be little doubt. From Cacalia, as constituted by 
Linnceus, or left by AVilldenow, or limited by M. Cassini, 
it is distinguished by its imbricated downy iiuDhicruni, 
with a few l^iear bracteae at the base, by its axillary 
infl<»esceiice^ by its receplacle, the fine ragged paleae of
