270 LXXVIII. composirz. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Blumea. 
The very woolly white undersurface of the leaves is a striking character of this 
species, which however Kurz unites with balsamifera, perhaps, as Clarke thinks, 
rightly, but the corolla lobes in this are hairy, and very glandular in balsamifera.

DOUBTFUL SPECIES, 
Bogota, DC. Prodr. v. 445 (Conyza elongata, Wall. Cat. 3078); see under 
B. Clarkei. 
B.? LEUCANTHEMA, DC. Prodr. v. 436 (Erigeron leucanthum, Don Prodr. 171). It is 
impossible to identify this by the meagre description of Don. 
Ki PUBIFLORA, DC. Prodr. v. 434; from Madras (Erigeron asteroides, Roxb. in 
Wall. Cat. 2975), is probably the Roxburghian plant referred to (see p. 254), but 
there are no specimens of Wallich's plant in his herbarium.

Annual or perennial herbs. Leaves alternate, often rigid and decurrent.
