invol. bracts few 4 in. linear-oblong obtuse somewhat recurved lower half hard 
green upper white opaque. 
Western Tiger, alt, 5-10,000 ft., Stoliczka, Jaeschke. 
The only specimen I have seen is the top, 10 in. long, of a stem, which is flexuous 
and gives off many slender branches terminated by the corymb. Clarke states that 
its discoverer found it in many places in Tibet. Its nearest ally is A. virgata, which 
differs in the narrow leaves with revolute margins and the less hardened invol, bracts ; 
but I suspect it to be a state of that plant. 
16. A. Thwaitesii, Clarke Comp. Ind. 110; thickly clothed except 
sometimes the leaves above with dense white or buff cottony wool, stem short 
stout very woody much branched below, branches 6-10 in. stout below and 
densely leafy, above slender and sparsely leafy, leaves 2—1 in. spreading obovate- 
oblong or spathulate thick obtuse nerveless, margins flat, upper smaller, heads 
}in. diam. turbinate peduncled, invol. bracts 4 in. elliptic-lanceolate acute white 
rather spreading. Gnaphalium Wightii, Thwaites Enum. 165, in part (C.P. 528,

Cryton ; Central Province, alt. 7-8000 ft., Walker, &c. 
A handsome and very distinct species, with large white heads approaching those 
of Series I. 
17. A. Notoniana, DC. Prodr. vi. 273; thickly clothed with soft tawny 
wool, subcorymbosely branched from the base, branches 4—8 in. stout uniformly 
leafy throughout corymbosely branched at the top, leaves $—} in. often imbricate 
erect and recurved oblong from a broad 3-amplexicaul base very obtuse equally 
woolly above and beneath l-nerved, heads j in. diam. campanulate or crowded 
in branched corymbs, invol. bracts à in. erect and densely imbricate in many 
series oblong obtuse scarious wrinkled yellow or pinkish glistening. Wight Ic.

Nireuerry Mrs., alt. 8000 ft., Noton, &e. ; at Ootaeamund and Cochin, Wight. 
A remarkable species; the invol. bracts are quite unlike those of any other. The 
single nerve of the leaf is seen only after removal of the thick wool ; the leaf-margins 
seem never to be recurved except at the very base. 
18. ? A. cutchica, Clarke Comp. Ind. 111; thinly clothed with grey 
cottony wool, branches 6-10 in. from a woody stock leafy below very slender and 
nearly leafless above, leaves 1-2 in. slender gradually dilated upwards from a 
narrow base acute l-nerved, heads 4 in. long few subcorymboee oblong, invol. 
bracts 4 in. few erect linear-oblong obtuse hard yellow shining. 
Curcu, Dr. Stoliczka. 
Very distinct from any foregoing species, but possibly not an Anaphalis, which 
the involucre is very unlike; the specimens are insufficient to determine this point. 
*** Leaves 3-4 in., l-nerved; margins usually strongly recurved, but 
often flat in A. contorta and zeylanica. (See also under ** A, araneosa and 
oblonga.) 
19. A. contorta, Hook. f.; stems 4-24 in. stout or slender, branches 
ehm or ascending leafy and leaves beneath or on both surfaces cottony, 
eaves j-l in. sessile }-amplexicaul often very crowded spreading and twisted 
narrowly linear or oblong from usually a broad or auricled base acute or obtuse 
1-nerved, margins often revolute, heads à in. diam. subglobose in dense simple or 
lobed contracted corymbose clusters, invol. bracts 75 in. broadly ovate or dëck 
obtuse white or yellowish, outer often purplish with broad coloured glistening
