specimens are very poor and also resemble A. Sieversiana ; it is properly a garden plant.

74. CREMANTHODIUM, Benth. 
Perennial scapigerous herbs. Leaves chiefly radical, cordate or reniform,

teate scape, always nodding or deflexed, heterogamous, radiate, yellow or pale

bracts l-seriate, membranous ; receptacle flat, naked, pitted. Anther-bases sub- 
entire. Style-arms short or long, flattened, obtuse or acute. Achenes angled, 
5-10-striate, glabrous; pappus-hairs copious, white or reddish, slender, rough or 
barbellate.—DrsrRrs. Species 8, all Himalayan. 
This genus is hardly distinguishable from Senecio, § Ligularia. The species are 
probably unduly multiplied, but more specimens are required to determine their 
limits; the involucral bracts vary much in most, in number, length, breadth, and in 
being glabrous or pubescent ; all the species are nearly glabrous with black or brown 
pubescence at the top of the scape and base of the involucre. "The style-arms differ 
much in the various species. The bracts are as in Senecio, § Ligularia, 1-seriate, but 
overlap in two series; the heads are ecalyculate in all.
