120 CONTRIBUTION TO THE FLORA OF GAZALAND. 
Folia 6-7 em. long., 2-2:5 em. lat., in sicco griseola ; costa media utrinque 
prominens etsi tenuis, ordinis secundi costarum jugum basale erecto-ascendens, 
costze ceteræ patulie; reticulum paginze inferioris eximie aspectabile ; petioli 
summum 2 mm. long. fere totidem lat. Bracteæ inferiores lanceolate vel 
lineares, +25 em. long., superiores adusque 2 mm. gradatim diminute. 
Capitula pansa 1 em. diam. Involucri phylla 35-4 mm. long., calyeuli 1:2 mm. 
Panieula 20-30 em. long., 15-20 em. diam.; pedunculi partiales erecto- 
ascendentes, gracillimi, modice 2 em. long. : pedunculi proprii +1 em. long. 
Ligule anguste oblongo-obovatie, apice brevissime dentieulatie, 6—8-nerves, 
4 mm. long.; disci corolle 4:5 mm. long. Genitalia breviter exserta. 
Styli rami 1 mm. long. Achænia 1°5 mm., pappi setze 4:5 mm. long. 
The affinity is with S. crenatus, Thunb., which has stalked leaves different 
in shape and venation, shorter and more crowded panicles, larger heads 
with broader involucral leaves, 4—5 yellow ray-florets, Ке. ©. colensoensis, 
O. Hoffm., I know only by the description, which is that of a plant with 
differently shaped leaves, 12 involucral leaves and 5 white florets of the ray.

Folia 45-6 ст. long., circiter totidem lat., in sicco olivaceo-brunnea, basi 
levissime trinervia ; costa media utrobique eminens, reticulum elegantulum 
pagina inferiore solummodo visum; petioli 2 mm. long. et lat. Panicula 
8-14 em. long., circiter totidem lat.; pedunculi partiales inferiores summum fere 
10 em.long.; pedunculi proprii plurimi 4-14 mm. long. Вгасе vetustiores 
- L5 em. long. juniores 2:5-5 mm. Capitula pansa circiter 1 em. diam. 
Involuera 4:5 x5 mm. ; ealyculi phylla 2:5 mm. long. Ligulz late oblongee, 
apice 2—3-denticulatw, 6—8-nerves, 5 mm. long. Disci corolla 5:5 mm. long. 
Acheenia 1:25 mm., pappi setze 4:5 mm. long. 
Homoplastie with the foregoing, but the panicles are shorter and denser, 
the involucres have a greater number of longer leaves, and each head has 
5 yellow ligules and about double as many disc-florets as the other.
