two inches long*, on short petioles, oblong- or linear-lanccolate, 
generally rather deeply sinuato-dentate at the margin, penni- 
nerved, the nerves deeply impressed above and there the surface 
is nearly quite glabrous, often wrinkled with reticulated veinlets : 
below, as on the branches, peduncles, and involucres, white with 
dense compact tomentum. Peduncles subterminal, on short 
branches, single-flowered, or elongated and panicled with several 
flowers or capitula, bracteolated. Znvolucre of several small im- 
bricated downy scales. Florets of the ray white, of the dsc 
yellow. Achenium, at least of the central florets, punctato- 
tuberculate. Bristles of the pappus rough, the scales lanceolate, 
with fringed serratures. W. J. H. 
Curr. A native of Van Diemen’s Land, and, like the preceding 
species, sufficiently hardy to thrive in the open air of this cli- 
mate in mild winters. It forms a low evergreen bushy shrub, 
well suited for the front row of shrubbery borders. In summer, 
when in flower, it presents a very showy appearance, which 
makes it worth while to keep a stock of young plants under 
protection to meet the casualties of a severe winter. It flowers 
freely if treated as a greenhouse plant, and is readily increase 
from cuttings. J. 8.
