Planta fere $-metralis. Folia 1:0-1:5 em. long., vetustiora 
interdum adusque 0°3 em. reliqua. vix 01 cm. lat., ultima modo 
05 em. long. Corymbi ramulini 1-4-cephali, sepissime 2°0- 
4'0 em. long. ; corymbus terminalis circa 20°0 cem. long. Pedun- 
culi proprii graciles, piloso-hispidi, 1°6-4°5 em. long.; horum 
bracteæ cirea 0'3 cm. long. Capitula pansa 05x10 em. In- 
volucri phylla extima 0:3 cm., intermedia 0'4 cm., intima 0°5 em. 
long. et 0'06 cm. lat. Ligula oblonga apice 3-denticulata, 
0:15 em. long. Achænia 0:15 cm., pappus fere 0:3 em. long. 
A rather remarkable plant because of the shortly barbel- 
late sete to the pappus and on this account approaching 
Mairea, 
In the collectors note the ray-florets are said to be white 
in the dry state some are purple.
