particulars. £. Ja/iscanum has mostly depressed-globose heads, 
the scales and bracts broader, pale or white, the perianth seg- 
‘ments white, linear-lanceolate, and both bracts and segments 
white-bearded; seeds sculptured with ten or twelve rows of ob-

obtained the previous year, and brought to my notice by Pres.
