71. COMPOSITE : SENECIONIDE-ffi. 455 



Europe, through Central Asia and the mountains of Northern 

 India to Japan. 



This species, as here limited, has received several names under 

 Senecio, therefore it may be justifiable to adopt the one applied 

 to the aggregate of forms, though the last published, rather than 

 one of those applied to a segregate form. Schultz's name cacalice- 

 folius, the earliest under the genus, is probably a slip of the pen 

 for cacaliarformis. 



Var. ? polycephalus, Hemsl. ; capitulis minoribus numerosis- 

 simis, aliis (paucis) secus scapum solitariis, aliis (plurimis) 2-5 

 corymbosim aggregatis, radii floribus brevissimis. 



Hupeh : Patung district (A. Henry, 111, 2457 !). Herb. Kew. 



The inflorescence of this is so very different, both from the 

 ordinary Siberian form and the more robust variety speciosa, that 

 it would not be regarded as probably of the same species in the 

 absence of a connecting-link. This exists, however, in a specimen 

 in the Kew Herbarium from Mandshuria, lately collected by Mr. 

 H. E. M. James. In this some of the lower heads are in corym- 

 bose clusters while the remainder are scattered singly on the scape. 



Senecio stenocephalus, Maxim., a Japanese and North Chinese 

 plant, is perhaps not tenable as a species distinct from S. Ligularia.
