Florets of the Disk of a black purple colour, relieved by the 
golden pollen. Receptacle honey-combed, bristly. Germens 
bristly at. the base and crowned with a chaffy pappus. 
The scapes in our plant were rather longer than the leaves. 
It is very like grandiflora of the Kew Catalogue, but not 
caulescent. 
Our drawing was taken from a plant communicated by 
Mr. Jenkins of the New Road, who raised it from seeds, 
received from the Cape without a name. Requires to be 
protected from frost.
