Nearest V. syringafolia, О. Hoffm., a species which Dr. Hoffmann refers to 
$ Cyanopis, although the outer pappus seems to me to be of squamellee, 
though very narrow ones. From this it differs entirely in leaf, also in 
the smaller heads with only half the number of florets, the pubescent 
involueres, Ке. V. Biafre, Oliver & Hiern, referred in the ‘Flora of 
Tropical Africa? to $ Lepidella although its squamellie are no wider than 
those of V. syringefolia, is also closely allied to the new plant, but, inter 
alia, Из involucres are quite different,
