nervus centralis subtus maxime eminens; folia caulina 5:0-6:0 
em. long., superiora vero breviora. Capitulorum glomeruli 
usque ad 35 cm. diam. Capitula 1:0 em. long., 0°5 em. diam. 
Involucri phylla exteriora 0°5-0°6 em. long., summum 0°15 em. 
lat.; phylla interiora 0°6 cm. long., modo 0-06 cm. lat. Corolle 
0-5 em. long., sursum 0°08 em. diam. Styli rami 0°075 em. long. 
Achenia pallida, vix 0°2 em. pappi sete 0°3-0°35 em. long. 
To be inserted between Inula glomerata, Oliver & Hiern, and 
I. Welwitschit, O. Hotfm., having the non-decurrent leaves of the 
former, and in its flower-heads greatly resembling the latter 
species. The heads of J. glomerata are larger and more cain- 
panulate, and its involucre is different ; moreover, its florets are 
considerably larger, and its achenes narrower and longer. Besides 
its decurrent leaves, Z. Welwitschii has its heads somewhat 
smaller and less cylindrical, and with only about half as many 
florets ; its involucral leaves are decidedly smaller, the florets 
less broad, &e.
