a. Carpidia parietibus crassis lignosis 
non marginata; involucrum post an- 
thesin neque lignescens neque auctum 
calyce aequilongum vel paullulo lon- 
gius, flores semper singuli axillares 
vel terminales perpauci. 
* Carpidia 7—10 mm alta 4—5 mm 
crassa a tergo concavo carinata et 
foveolato - rugosa, stellato - pilosa, 
fructus calyce non inclusus, in- 
volucri bracteae 12—16 tomentosac 
vel villosae lineares; — plantae 
foliis orbicularibus vel obtuse-lo- 
batis, ramis procumbentibus . . . 
** Carpidia 6—7 mm alta, 7 mm 
crassa a tergo convexo laevia vel 
regulariter sculpturata, ornamen- 
talia, a lateribus acuto - espinosa, 
glaberrima; fructus calyce inclusus; 
involucri bracteae 6—9 tomentosae 
lineares vel oblongo-lanceolatae ; 
— frutices humiles ramis erectis 
foliis ovatis crenatis 
8. Carpidia parietibus lignoso-coriaceis 
craspedoto - marginata 410—142 mm 
alta; involucrum strictum post an- 
thesin lignescens bracteis linearibus 
42—46 nodulosis longe hirsutis ad 
30 mm longis calyx usque basin 
fissus lobis lanceolatis, lignescens. . 
. Carpidia a carina dehiscentia 3—5 mm 
alta 2—3 mm lata plerumque fusca a 
tergo plane-convexa plerumque distincte 
carinata, transversaliter nervosa, parie- 
tibustenuibus, margine plerumque craspe- 
doto; involucri bracteae 7—44 semper 
angustissime lineares, saepius nodosae 
hirsutae calyce plerumque multo lon- 
giores post anthesin lignescentes. Herbae 
vel suffrutices foliis lobatis vel fissis vel 
ovalibus usque lanceolatis integris 
2. Carpidia margine interno basi solum per- 
pauce connata, + 6 mm alta indehiscentia 
compresse-ovoidea glaberrima apice cornicu- 
lata a tergo convexo carina rugulosa a late- 
ribus subplanis reticulata, parietibus vali- 
dissimis lignosis; semina tomentosa; — plantae 
pauciflorae caulibus erectis parce ramosis 
foliis praemorsis floribus axillaribus singulis.
