A scabrid-pubescent herb. Leaves elliptic or lanceolate, obtuse 
or subacute. Involucral-bracts more or less pubescent on the 
back and often minutely ciliate. Pappus-bristles ciliate at the 
base. The nerves of the involucre-scales are much less numerous 
in this species than they are in H. elatwm, N. E. Br. 
AA. Flowers scarcely exceeding the involucre. 
5. H. conaornsz, WV. E. Brown. Stem slightly scabrid. 
Leaves lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, bearing a few short 
very scattered bristles on both sides, scabrid-ciliate on the 
margins. Involucral-bracts glabrous, not ciliate. Pappus- 
bristles rigid, much shorter than the corolla-tube, glabrous.—

The plant described by Klatt in Bull. Herb. Boiss. iii. (1895) 
p. 425, under the name of Jauwmea altissima, is unknown to me; 
but, judging from the description, it cannot be either a Jaumea 
or a Hypericophyllum.
