margine leviter et basi dense tomentosis, plus minus in pedunculo 

 effusis. Ligulse 20, supra albae, subtus roseae ; flores disci circiter 

 50. Pappus dimorphus, e squamis brevibus serrulatis, cum setis 

 barbellatis, 2 millim. longis, alternantibus. (v. v.) 



Sab. In scaturiginibus summi montis Bosehberg, in ditione 

 Somerset, C.B.S., alt. 4800 ped., Jan -Feb.; MacOwan legit (No. 

 1995, distrib. ann. 1871 et seq.). 



This plant presents a remarkable deviation from the habit, 

 foliage, and station affected by other Athrixice. It grows with 



Tftricularia capensis, Spr., Anagallis Suttoni, Harv., and the like, 



often deeply immersed among Conferva?. 



Senecio (§Eigidi) tbtjll^eohtts, MacOw., n. sp. — Caule 

 erecto, herbaceo glabro sulcato ; foliis radicalibus pluribus, longe 

 petiolatis subovatis obtusis, basi abrupte ac oblique cordatis 

 glabris ; caulinis sessilibus e basi semiarnplexicauli lanceolatis ; 

 corymbo laxo ; capitulis subquiiiis, radiatis, basi 1-bracteatis, 

 squamis involucralibus angustis subconcretis. 



Radix perennis, e fibris multis fasciculatis. Caulis l2~2-pedalis 

 erectus glaber sulcatus. Folia radicalia pluria, plus minus tri- 

 angulari-ovata v. trullseformia, basi abrupta, glabra, sinuato- 

 dentata, 7 - 0-8 , 5 centim. longa, 2-40 centim. lata; petiolis supra 

 sulcatis, 95-120 centim. longis ; caulinia lanceolata in basin 

 latiorem semiamplexicaulem auriculatam expansa. Infiorescentia 

 corymboso-paniculata laxa, e ramis primordialibus sub 4nis in 

 pedicellis 2-4, basi et juxta apicem bracteatis abeuntibus. Capi- 

 tula diam. G millim. radiata, squamis involucralibus subduodenis, 

 ultra dimidiam partem concretis, disco brevioribus. Flores disci 

 30, radii 5-7, ligulis 1 centim. lougis, laete luteis. (v. v.) 



Sab. In saxosis prrecipitibus summi montis Bosehberg, in 

 ditione Somerset, C.B.S., alt. 4800 ped., Jan.-Feb. ; MacOwan 

 legit (No. 1902, in distrib. ann. 1872 et seq., sub nomine S. rumici- 

 folio, MS.). 



With the above, and under No. 1730, was distributed a curious 

 Senecio, with capitula resembliug those of S. asperulns, DC, and 

 foliage like entire-leaved forms of S. erosus, Linn. f. A provisional 

 MS. name (8. prionites, MacOw.) was appended; but without 

 collation with Dr. Sonder's S. serratus (S. leontodontis, DC), of 

 which there does not appear to be types in herb. Kew, it would 

 be unwise to publish it. The plant taken by us for 8. serratus, 

 Sond., and distributed under No. 1659, herb. MacOw., is a variety 

 of 8. incomptus, DC, on the testimony of Dr. Sonder himself.
