Western PrxiNSULA; on the dry hills of the Western Ghats, from the Concan 
southwards.—Disrris. Java. 
A slender much branched annual, or like most annuals reduced to a single weedy 
stem. Achenes 35 in.—This has more of the habit of sect. Jacobea than the others 
of this section. Wight suspects that this and S. Hohenackeri are varieties of one: 
species, but the achenes and invol. bracts are quite different, besides this being an 
annual. 
27. S. hewrensis, Hook. f. ; annual, dwarf, puberulous or scaberulous, 
leafy, leaves sessile or shortly petioled base auricled lanceolate or oblong-lanceo- 
late obtuse obtusely coarsely irregularly toothed or subpinnatifid membranous, 
heads ebracteolate on capillary axillary and subcorymbose peduncles, invol. 
bracts 8-10 E in. long narrowly oblong rather dilated upwards acuminate 
glabrous, ligules 3, achenes broader upwards scabrid equalling the dirty-white 
pappus. Doronicum hewrense. Dalz. in Dalz. § Gibs. Bomb. FI. 130. 
The Concan ; rocky places near Jooneer, common, Dalzell. 
A remarkable little species, differing in habit from its allies, the heads with 
eapillary peduncles being as often axillary and solitary as corymbose, the invol. bracts 
very few, and ligules (constantly according to Dalzell) only 3. Achenes, as in S. 
tenuifolius, 3. in. long, slender; pappus hairs all long and slender. 
*** Leaves more or less white with cottony tomentum beneath. 
28. S. Edgeworthii, Hook. f.; herbaceous, stem leaves beneath and 
corymbs white with dense cottony pubescence, leaves petioled cordate or 
rhomboid or ovate-lanceolate obtuse or acute irregularly toothed lobulate or 
crenate many-nerved glabrous or scabrid above margins more or less recurved, 
petiole auricled, heads on short or long naked peduncles turbinate bracteolate 
corymbose, invol. bracts 4-1 in. oblanceolate acuminate cottony, ligules 10-14, 
achenes elongate turbinate scabrid about equalling the white pappus. $.

slopes, WigAt. 
The Canara and Nilgherry specimens are stout erect leafy with stiff grooved 
stems from a stout woody perennial stock, and have shortly petioled angular stiff 
coriaceous leaves 1-1} in. long, with scabrid upper surface and prominent nervés 
beneath; the heads are very many-fld., and the cottony bracts are dilated upwards. 
with very broad membranous margins. Edgeworth’s specimens, which are very 
imperfect, are very slender, with naked shining stems, mueh more membranous leaves 
with longer more slender petioles and smaller heads with much narrower invol. 
braets. Jaequemont's specimens have the habit of the Conean ones, but the narrow 
invol. bracts of Edgeworth's, and the deeply cordate leaves are unlike either of the 
others. The achenes in all are about 4 in., ribbed and seabrid ` pappus-hairs slender, 
most of them subequal and long with a few intermixed much shorter ones. 
29. S. Dalzellii, Clarke Comp. Ind. 201; herbaceous, erect, much 
branched, branches and leaves beneath more or less cottony, leaves sessile 
linear or lanceolate apiculate base contracted or dilated and auricled coriaceous 
l-nerved margins recurved entire or rarely denticulate, heads bracteolate long- 
peduncled in dichotomous corymbs, invol, bracts 10-12 4 in. long oblanceolate-
