Emilia. ] LXXVIII. COMPOSITÆ. (J. D. Hooker.) 337 
Thwaites describes the flowers as purple, but as he does not distinguish the following, 
I have not taken that character into account. 
5. E. Walkeri, Hook. f.; erect, robust, quite glabrous, cauline leaves 
many large upper half deltoid or ovate suddenly contracted into a broad linear 
oblong lower half entire or sinuate-toothed, base deeply broadly auricled, heads 
broad, invol. braets shorter than the flowers, style-arms dilated towards the 
short conic tips, achenes scabrid. E. prenanthoidea, Thwaites Enum. 167, in 
part. 
Czvrow; Central Province, Ramboddie and Newera Ellia, Walker, Thwaites, Ee. 
This is a much larger plant than any of the preceding, with a stout polished often 
flexuous leafy stem, and branches 2-3 ft. high, leathery leaves, and the heads and 
invol. bracts broader; the achenes too are much larger than in E. zeylanica. 
78, NOTONIA, DC. 
Fleshy glabrous undershrubs. Leaves alternate, obovate or lanceolate, quite 
entire or crenulate. Heads large, long-peduncled, corymbose, bracteolate or not, 
homogamous, discoid, yellow; flowers 6 , all fertile, slender, limb elongate 5-fid. 
Involucre cylindric; bracts l-seriate, equal; receptacle flat, naked. Anther- 
bases entire. Style-arms elongate; tips short, ovate, thick, papillose or hispid. 
Achenes long, subterete, 10-striate; pappus hairs copious, slender.— DrsTRIB. 
Species 4 or 5, all Indian. 
1. N. grandifiora, DC. in Wight Contrib.24; Prodr. vi. 442; branches 
short very stout, leaves obovate or elliptic-lanceolate or suborbicular quite entire 
very fleshy, heads 3 1 in. long, achenes glabrous, pappus hairs very slender 
terete. — Deless. Ic. Sel. iv. t. 61 ; Dalz. E Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 132; Clarke Comp. 
Ind. 176. N. corymbosa, DC. Le: Wight Ic. t. 484. N. crassissima, Schultz 
Bip. in Pl. Hohenack, n. 1027, not of DC. Cacalia grandiflora, Wall. Cat. 3147 ; 
C. Kleinia, Herb. Madras. 
Hilly districts of the WESTERN PENINSULA ; from the Concan southwards. CEYLON ; 
in the Batticaloa district. 
A small shrub, 2-8 ft. high, very fleshy. Leaves 3-5 by 1-8 in., subsessile or 
petioled. Flowering peduncles 6-12 in. long, stout, strict, naked; corymb of few or 
many heads, which are 2-1 in. long. Achenes i in. long.—I cannot distinguish N. 
corymbosa from grandiflora by any characters. 
2. N. balsamica, Dalz. § Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 133; branches short very 
stout, leaves oblong ovate-oblong or oblanceolate quite entire, heads 3—1 in. long, 
achenes glabrous, pappus hairs stiff flattened. Cacalia Kleinia, Grah. Cat. Bomb. 
Pl, 98, not of Sprengel. 
The Concan and Deccan; in the inland ghats rare, Graham, Dalzell, &c. 
Very similar to N. grandiflora, but at once distinguishable by the pappus. Dalzell, 
in the Bombay Flora, refers Graham’s Cacalia Kleinia to N. grandiflora, but in Wight's 
Herbarium there is a specimen of ba/samica from Graham with the name attached to 
it by himself. 
9. N. Walkeri, Clarke Comp. Ind. 176; branches long, leaves long- 
etioled elliptic-lanceolate acuminate quite entire or crenulate or gland-serrulate, 
der 4 in. Kak in very large compound corymbs, achenes sparsely hairy, pappus 
hairs very slender terete. Gynura Walkeri, Wight Ic. t. 1122. ` Senecio
