Very similar to the American, A. margaritacea, but the leaves are 3-nerved and 
usually cinnamomeous beneath ; they vary from -4 in broad, and when very narrow 
are only 1-nerved, margins generally flat. Corymbs usually much branched. 
.9. A. Hookeri, Clarke mss. ; stem 1-2 ft. simple or corymbosely branched 
glandular-pubescent leafy, leaves 2—4 in. spreading narrowly lanceolate tapering 
from the auricled j-amplexicaul base to the acuminate point 3-nerved sparsely 
cobwebby or cottony and subglandular both surfaces greenish-brown when d 
margins flat, heads very small à in. diam. globose in broad much-branched 
corymbs, invol, bracts ;'; in, long broadly ovate obtuse white opaque.

A very distinct looking species, but allied to 4. swbwmbellata in its glandular 
pubescence and habit, 
10. A. adnata, DC. Prodr. vi. 274; stem simple stout leafy 2-4 ft. 
densely clothed with white silky or cottony wool, leaves 2-5 in. suberect 
obovate oblong sub-spathulate or lanceolate acute or obtuse leathery 1—3-nerved 
narrowed to the 4-amplexicaul base, heads numerous 4—4 in. diam. subglobose 
in dense rounded clusters on the stout branches of a large corymb or in a simple 
terminal cluster, invol. bracts. 4 in. long rounded-ovate obtuse white opaque.

Mrs., alt. 4-6000 ft. Marranan, alt. 5-7000 ft. 
In its fullest development much the largest, stoutest, and largest-leaved Indian 
species, with stem as thick as the middle-finger, and obovate-spathulate 3-nerved 
leaves attaining 14 in. diam, ; it, however, grows more slender with leaves } in. diam. 
and I-nerved. The white woolly clothing is very uniform; the root appears annual. 
ll. A. fruticosa, Hook. f.; shrubby, branches stout terete woody 
covered below with persistent leaf-bases produced beyond the leaves into a 
long slender cottony flowering branch, leaves 1-2 in. crowded spreading oblan- 
ceolate obtuse narrowed from beyond the middle 3-nerved coriaceous margins 
flat glabrous above beneath clothed with appressed cinnamomeous wool, heads 
many 4 in. diam. campanulate in a large branched open corymb, longer invol. 
bracts 4 in. narrowly obovate-oblong obtuse recurved white shining. Gnapha- 
lium Wightianum, Thwaites Enum. 166 (C.P. 132). 
Cryton ; Adam's Peak, Thwaites. 
Apparently a very distinct species, but I have seen only one specimen ` it differs 
wholly from Wightiana in habit, form and colour of foliage, and in the campanulate 
heads. The woody terete branch is nearly as thick as a goose-quill, the leaves are 
widest beyond the middle and coloured underneath like A, cinnamomea, which differs 
in the globose heads with broader shorter bracts. It is most like a very large form 
of A. marcescens, but the large heads and bracts are quite different. 
12. A. Beddomei, Hook. f.; clothed with appressed grey cottony wool, 
stem stout 1-2 ft. leafy simple, leaves 2-3 in. elliptic-lanceolate from a sessile 
j-amplexicaul narrowed base strongly 5- (upper 3-) nerved, heads 4 in. diam. 
sessile subglobose in dense rounded corymbose clusters, invol. bracts } in. elliptic- 
oblong obtuse white glistening. 
Western PENINSULA, Beddome. 
A beautiful species, just received from Colonel Beddome without locality, easily 
recognised by the elliptic lanceolate 5-ribbed leaves. There are about as many 9 as 
hermaphrodite flowers, and it may be referable to Gnaphalium.
