terioribus lanceolatis oblongisque omnibus acutis albo-sericeis; recepta- 
culum paleis paucis praecipue sub floribus exterioribus auctum; flores 
radii 10—14, ligulis patentibus reflexisve, oblongis albis, 0,6—0,7 cm 
longis, flores disci numerosi flavi; ovaria immatura glabra. 
Cape Colony; district Barkly East, summit of Doodman's-Krantz-Mt., 
approx. alt. 2800—2970 meters, March 8, 1904, E. E. Galpin, 6700! (in 
herb. Kew, my own, &c.). 
This comes near to E. sericea Wood & Evans, but is distinguished 
by its prostrate habit, shorter, more appressed and shiny indument, and 
its smaller heads with shorter rays. The paleae on the receptacle in the 
head examined are very few.

branacea, juniora araneosa, demum glaberrima, 3—4 cm longa, 0,8—1 cm 
‘lata; pedunculi terminales, solitarii, graciles, nudi, leves, apice paullo 
dilatati, 20 em longi; capitula campanulata, homogama, discoidea, 1 cm 
longa; 0,8 cm lata; involucri squamae 8, oblongae, deltoideo-acutae, mar- 
ginatae glaberrimae, 0,6 cm longae, 0,15—0,2 cm latae; flores ca. 23 
albi, corollis medio abrupte dilatatis, 0,6 cm longis, segmentis acutis, 
papillosis; ovaria teretia, apice truncata, 4 striata, striis scabris.

Rhizoma breve sublignosum, lana sordida cum reliquiis foliorum de- 
Japsorum coronatum; folia omnia radicalia erecta linearia vel marginibus 
involutis saepe filiformia, plerisque indivisis hine inde paucis bifidis 
trifidisque, obtusa, rigida, glabra, apice sphacelata, basi dilatata, scariosa, 
multinervia, pallida, 6—12 cm longa, 0,1 cm lata; scapus solitarius gra- 
cilis, monocephalus, nudus, glaber, 18—30 cm longus; capitulum hemi-

Transvaal Colony; district Middelburg, near Witbank Railway 
Station, Dec., D. F. Gilfillan (no. 7201 of Mr. Galpin's distribution! in 
herb. Kew, my own, &c.). 
In habit this is very different from any of the genus known to me, 
more resembling that of some of the stemless Othonnae. The approximate 
altitude of the station is not given by the collector, and I have no data
