narrowed into an often appendaged petiole serrulate many-nerved coriaceous,

Stem as thick as the forefinger. The very numerous nerves and recurved (when 
dry) margins of the leaves and their small regular teeth, are unlike any other species 
of this shrubby section, except the following. The name Conyza lanceolaria, Roxb. 
is attached to a Calcutta Bot. Garden very narrow-leaved form of this plant in 
Griffith’s Herbarium. 
32. B. spectabilis, DC. Prodr. v. 445; shrubby, branches very stout 
glabrous below pubescent above, leaves 4-10 in. glabrous oblanceolate or elliptic 
acuminate subserrate narrowed into a long winged often appendaged petiole, 
heads 4 in. peduncled free or clustered along the branches of a broad bracteate 
pyramidal panicle, invol. bracts slender pubescent, 5 corolla-lobes glandular, 
achenes (unripe) silky, pappus red. B. myriocephala, Thwaites Enum. 163,

half the size of the type, densely crowded on the branches of a much more contracted 
panicle, and the receptacle is quite glabrous, but the leaves are identical and very 
characteristic. 
33. B. densiflora, DC. Prodr. v. 446 ; stem stout, panicle and leaves 
beneath densely tomentose or clothed with thick white felted wool, leaves 8-18 
in. broadly elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate narrowed into a long winged sometimes 
appendaged petiole puberulous above serrate-toothed or pinnatifid, heads 1 in.
