We find no described species of aes ch i 
respect agrees with our plant except th RA 
of Tuongere, hich-appears by th ription to have 
Steat affinity wil h it, but-the flowers are a ee 
Ing in a compact panicle, whereas in’ plant they grow 
in lax corymbs. Although the calyx is globose, not cylindri- 
cal; its general aspect as well as other characters declares it 
a true SERRATULA.
