based, mucronate ; corymb compound ; inv. scales linear, glabrous or 
thinly villous, pale.

(Herb. D., Hk., Sd.) . 
Distinguished from other species by its woolly pubescence, which in var. 8. i 
very copious. The inflorescence resembles that of N. fetida. 
11, N. punctulata (DC. 1. c. 323); “quite glabrous; stem shrubby, 
with viscidulous branches; leaves tapering into a petiole, elongate- 
lanceolate, acuminate, quite entire, on both sides marked with minute, 
glandular dots ; corymb compound; pedunc. compressed ; inv. shorter 
than the pappus, and even than the disc, its scales obtuse.” DC. 1. ¢. 
Has. Beyond the Gariep, between the Asbestos Mts. and Wittewater, Burchell. 
« Lys. 3-4 in. long, 3-5 lines wide, thickish. Ray fl. female, minutely ligulate.” DC. 
12. N. conyzoides (Harv.); suffruticose, nearly glabrous, viscidulous ; 
leaves tapering at base into a short petiole, broadly lanceolate, callous- 
toothed, penninerved, acute or acuminate ; heads densely corymbose, 
pedicels puberulous ; inv. scales oblong, obtuse, quite glabrous; ray-fl. 
very minute, ovate-spoonshaped, denticulate. 
Has. Delagoa Bay, Capt. Owen! (Herb. Sond.) 
This has much the habit of Conyza ivefolia, but with broader leaves and more 
densely crowded heads: the marginal flowers are truly ligulate, though the expanded 
portion is so short as to be overlooked without close examination. Leaves 3-4 in. 
long, 1-14 in. wide, rather ont § penninerved, the nerves proceeding at an angle 
of about 75° to the margin ; veinlets netted. : 
13. N. undulata (Sond.) ; herbaceous, quite glabrous, ascending- 
erect ; stem angular, simple ; leaves entire or remotely repand-toothed, 
the radical very long, linear-oblong, strap shaped or lanceolate, much 
attenuated at base, the cauline at base cordate, semi-amplexicaul, sub- 
decurrent, lanceolate-linear, acute or subacute, undulate, the margin 
slightly recurved ; corymb panicled, dense ; invol. scales linear, obtuse ; 
rays very minute and narrow. Chrysocoma undulata, Th.! Cap. p. 627.

dens Mts., Uit., £. Z./ Howison’s-Poort, Hutton! (Herb. Th., D., Hk., Sd.) 
Root thick. Stem rising from a curved or deflexed base, 2-3 feet high, robust. 
Rad. leaves 8-14 inches long, ?-1 inch wide, obtuse or acute ; cauline 3-6 inches 
long, 4-5 lines wide, the upper ones smaller. They vary in having a widely-cordate, 
clasping base, or a slightly-cordate one, as N. awriculata does. Heads very small 
and numerous. 
14. N. depauperata (Harv.); herbaceous, erect, viscidulous ; stem 
very straight, simple or branched, scabrous ; leaves erect, the lowest 
linear-oblong, obtuse, much-attenuated at base, scabrous and pilose; 
upper linear, rigid, one-nerved, scabrous and ciliate, flat or involute, 
the very uppermost broadbased, short and ovato-lanceolate ; heads 
small, in compound corymbs ; invol.-scales shorter than the disc, 
broadly oblong, obtuse, glutinous ; ray-fl. very minute, bilabiate ; 
pappus of very few, small, unequal, rough bristles. Zey.! 803.
