COMPOSITE FLORA OF AFRICA. 337 
A plant with considerable resemblance to several others, 
especially Helichrysum Hohnelii, Schweinf., H. Kilimanjari, 
Oliver, and H. argyranthum, O. Hoffm. Its chief points are 
the narrow araneose leaves, the comparatively narrow straw- 
coloured involucre (the outer rows of whose leaves are short 
and pass without transition into the longer and narrower inner 
ones), and the extremely short angled achenes.
