lineari-oblonga multinervia, obtusa, dentibus marginalibus parvis cal- 
losis. FZ. disci 30-40, glaberrimi, pappo albo. Achenia brevia, costata, 
glaberrima. Receptaculum planiusculum. 
A fine species, very nearly allied to the Abyssinian S. Steudelii, 
Hochst. ; but it has more minutely toothed and coriaceous leaves : 
also allied somewhat to S. alpinus, auratus, &c., but more branched 
and robust, with sessile, much larger, and differently shaped leaves.

Certainly identical with the South-African plant, which extends 
throughout the Cape Colony to Natal, ascending in the latter 
country to 5000 feet.

Very near to the Abyssinian Z. paradoxa, Schultz, in every 
respect but the glandular sete of the stem and inflorescence,
