different from that of other species of the genus, with which, however, it agrees in 
the leaves having raised points (whence the name Stictophyllum, Edgeworth), 
Wallich’s specimen, from Herb. Hamilton, has no habitat. 
DOUBTFUL AND IMPERFECTLY KNOWN SPECIES, 
T. montana, Dalz. & Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 131; “ a coarser species (than T. glaberrima), 
leaves obovate-oblong very coarsely toothed or sometimes pinnatifid; differs from 7. 
angustifolia also in having long slender stigmas."— The Ghats. I know nothing of 
this species. 
T. Roter Hook. f., shrubby, branches petioles and leaves beneath densely 
clothed with eottony tomentum, leaves 3 by 1j in. elliptie or ovate subacute toothed 
glabrate above with raised points, petiole 4 in., head solitary terminal large erect 
2 in. diam., peduncle stout, invol. broadly campanulate cottony, bracts very numerous 
outer appressed small ovate with appressed spinous points, innermost linear-lanceo- 
late 1 in. long with softer subrecurved points, filaments papillose, anther-tails toothed, 
achenes?, pappus } in. scabrid pale yellow red. Jurinea? Tricholepis, DC. Prodr. vi. 
678.—N.W. India, Royle. I have seen very imperfect specimens of this very distinct 
species, which though referred by De Candolle doubtfully to Jurinea is, as far as can 
be judged in the absence of achenes, clearly a Tricholepis. 
94. VOLUTARELLA, Cass. 
Annuals. Leaves alternate. Heads heterogamous, purple violet or blue; 
outer fl. l-seriate, neuter; disk-fl. 2, fertile, tube slender short, limb cylindric 
D-fid. Involucre ovoid or globose; bracts œ% -seriate, innermost narrow acute;

Filaments glabrous or hairy ; anther-bases sagittate, auricles connate shortly 
tailed. Style filiform, arms free or connate. Achenes obovoid or oblong, subu- 
late or angled, 5-15-ribbed, often striate and pitted between the ribs; basal

Africa, W. Asia and India. 
V. divaricata, Benth. in Gen. Pl. ii. 476, excl. some syns.; dichoto- 
mously branched, spreading, leaves oblong or obovate entire toothed or pinnati- 
fid, lobes mucronate often undulate or crisped, heads j-in. diam., invol. bracts 
ovate with a long spreading or recurved spinescent awn, achenes 4-5-angled 
striate and punctate. Clarke Comp. Ind. 242; excl. syns. Tricholepis pro-

CENTRAL, WESTERN and SovTHERN INDIA; from Behar and the upper Gangetic 
plains to Lahore ; and from Scind to Mysore and the Deccan; ascending to 3000 ft. 
in the N.W. Himalaya.—Disrris. Affghanistan, Beluchistan. 
An annual straggling stiff weed, troublesome from its hard head with spiny 
invol. bracts; branches 1-2 ft. long, angled, smooth or scabrid. Leaves very variable 
1-2 by 1-2 in. rarely 6 by 3 in, sessile, base simple, lobes rounded. Invol. bracts 
glabrate reddish, spines 4-4 in. smooth; receptacular bristles short; corolla 4 in., 
straight, pale purple. Achenes i in., narrow, acutely angled, grooved and punctate 
between the angles, base narrow; areole small lateral deeply excavated, top broad 
truncate ; pappus spiny of many unequal scaberulous hairs j in. long, silvery brown, 
3 or 4 innermost flattened and long.—In the Genera Plantarum, Centaurea patula, 
DC., and Serratula divaricata, Fisch. & Mey., are erroneously (as Boissier has pointed 
out, Fl. Orient. iii. 605, 701) referred to this,
