Hab. Ruwenzori Mountain; G. F. Scott Elliot, no. 7679. 
The comparatively small densely clustered heads, the small 
achenes, and long sete of the pappus are the chief characteristics 
of this plant.

Not very like any of its fellow-members of § Stengelia; this 
may be distinguished by its prolix habit, narrow leaves tomentose 
below, and the long-stalked short involucres. 
T have seen the lower part of a corolla of this plant at Kew 
{there is not even that in the case of the Museum specimen), but 
there can be no doubt as to the genus. .
