The section Ozylepis of Helichrysun is rather an unsatisfaetory 
one, owing to the abnormal appearance given to the flower-heads 
by the narrow involucral bracts. Indeed, but for these organs 
being scarious and not herbaceous, the present plant would be a 
typical Zzxiolena. It also has much the appearance of a Lepto- 
rhynchus, from which the absence of any indication of a beak to 
the achenes must keep it apart.

This should be placed next H. diotophyllum, F. Muell, of 
which it has much the general appearar.ce ; but the leaves, on 
examination, are seen to be quite ditferent, and the smaller 
narrower capitula are much more laxly arrauged. Among other 
details wherein the two species differ, one may mention the 
hirsute acheues of H. diotophyllum.
