Senecio. | _ LXXVIII. composirz. (J. D. Hooker.) 347 
acuminate scabrid without white margins, ligules 10-15 narrow, achenes small 
scabrid about equalling the white rigid subbiseriate pappus. 
The Concan; Bababooden hills, Law, Dalzell. 
Stem 1-2 ft, rigid, angled and grooved, branches erect. Leaves 2-3} in., the 
broadest 4 in. diam., narrowed to both ends, auricles rounded or 0, very leathery, 
smooth or scabrid above. Heads numerous; peduncles with a few minute bracts. 
Achenes (immature) j5 in., turbinate; pappus-hairs very rigid, scabrid, some very 
short. 
30. S. Lawii, Clarke Comp. Ind. 201; very slender, excessively branched, 
stem branches and leaves beneath more or less white and cottony, leaves lower 
or most petioled lanceolate irregularly coarsely toothed with the petiole not 
auricled, upper or most sessile linear entire or obscurely toothed with an auricled 
base, heads bracteolate turbinate or capillary axillary and solitary or terminal 
and subcorymbose peduncles, invol. bracts 12-15 3; in. long obovate acuminate 
puberulous, ligules 8-10, achenes small scabrid equalling the white subbiseriate ` 
pappus. 
Hills of the Concan (or Mysonz ?); Severndroog talooka, Dalzell, &c. 
Very closely allied to S. Dalzellii, but much more slender, with capillary peduncles 
to the smaller heads. I suspect, however, that these characters will not prove con- 
stant, the achenes and pappus being identical. The only * Severndroog talooka" I 
can find is in Mysore (W. of Hydrabad), where I doubt Dalzell having ever been. 
31. S. Grahami, Hook. f.; erect, much branched, slender, branches 
glabrous or scaberulous, leaves rhombic-ovate narrowed suddenly into a short 
simple or lobulate petiole irregularly coarsely toothed white and cottony beneath 
with broad green veins, heads solitary and axillary or subcorymbose on very 
slender peduncles bracteolate, invol. bracts 12-18 à in. long obovate-oblong 
acuminate pubescent, ligules 10-12 elongate, achenes obconic scabrid equalling 
the double white pappus of long paleaceous and short setaceous hairs. S. 
reticulatus, Clarke Comp. Ind. 199. Doronicum reticulatum, Wight in Calc.

Bompay; Tanna district; Graham, Law, &c. 
Herbaceous, 2-3 ft. Leaves 1-24 in. long, 5-nerved at the base; petiole of lower 
often as long, slender, exauricled, of the upper shorter, often broadly winged, auricled, 
Peduncles with setaceous bracts. Ligules } in., linear. Jnvol. bracts without white 
margins. Achenes of the ray curved, linear, compressed, smooth, of the disk 4 in. 
long, turbinate, angled, ribbed and strigose, much longer than the pappus, the long 
rigid hairs of which are flattened and taper from a broad base.—Nothing can be more 
foreign to the character of Senecio than the pappus of this plant, which is however 
clearly related closely to S. Lawii and S. belgaumensis, &c. 
32. S. Gibsoni, Hook. f.; erect, much branched, branches slender 
scaberulous, leaves ovate-lanceolate or subrhomboid apiculate sessile or narrowed 
into a broadly winged auricled petiole sinuate-toothed glabrous or scaberulous 
above grey beneath with appressed cottony down nerves slender, heads ecalycu- 
late on very slender peduncles in lax dichotomously branched corymbs, invol. 
bracts 15-18 } in. long obovate-oblong acuminate puberulous, ligules 8-10 long 
narrow, achenes obconic glabrous longer than the scanty whitish pappus of 
rigid scabrid long and short hairs. 
The Concan and Canara; Bababooden hills, Law, Dalzell. 
This very much resembles S. Grahami, but the leaves are narrower, more mem- 
branous, with much shorter petioles and are not white beneath, the heads are much 
smaller and the achenes though of the same form and length are glabrous, and the 
pappus-hairs are not at all paleaceous.
