acuminate, concave, on both sides smooth, the margin serrulato-subcili- 
ate; glomerule on a woolly peduncle; floral leaves rather wider than the 
cauline, at base villoso-ciliate.” DC. l.c. Burch. Cat. Geogr. 6870.

‘‘ Leaves nerveless, finely striate lengthwise, shining, 6 lines long, 2 lines wide. 
Branches woolly, especially near the apex. Heads within bracts on a woolly pe- 
duncle. Outer iny. scales very short. Ligules of each head 1-2, nearly bi-ligulate, 
very short, whence the head is pseudo-discoid. Pappus of the ray-fl. very short or 
none ; of the disc-fl. membranous, toothed at the summit, longer than the tube of 
corolla.” DC. t. ¢. Unknown to us. :

Heads many-fi., heterogamous ; ray-fl. numerous, in one row, ligulate, 
female ; dise-fl. tubular, 5-toothed, perfect. Znvol. campanulate, scales 
imbricated in many rows, lanceolate, subequal, Recept. flat, covered 
with hard and dry, infolded, acuminate pales, clasping the flowers. 
Style-branches tipped with a short cone, Achenes glabrous, those of the 
ray 3-angled-compressed ; of the disc flattened. Pappus of 2-3 scarious 
acuminate, unequal, persistent, keeled scales ; sometimes in the disc-fl. 
1-2 minute additional ones.—DC. Prodr. 5. p. 671. 
Glabrous or pubescent, rigid undershrubs, with subsimple stems or branched from 
near the base, Leaves rigid, undivided, the lowest opposite, the rest alternate, linear 
or lanceolate. Heads terminal, solitary, of large size. Pappus of the ray of 3, of 
the disc usually of 2 scales. Rays numerous, white(?). Name kados, beautiful, and

Many-stemmed. Stems simple or branched near the base, with many erect, vir- 
gate branches, 1-2 f. high, either glabrous or villous, sometimes densely so. Lower 
leaves opposite, 1-14 inch long, 3 lines to 4 inch wide, rigid, acute or acuminate, 
mostly denticulate. Heads terminal, the peduncle laxly leafy nearly to the summit. 
Rays very numerous, nearly uncial. Achenes quite smooth, with a marginal, 
entire wing. Var, 8. scarcely differs tangibly from a. ; I find its leaves (in Drege’s 
specimens) as strongly toothed, and the pubescence very scanty: var. ¥., by its 
copiously hairy stem, is more clearly marked. 
2. C. leptophylla (Harv.); leaves scattered, linear-subulate, elongate, 
one-nerved, quite entire. Zey./ 1043. 
_ Has. Magalisberg, Burke § Zey.! (Herb. Hk., D., Sd.) 
Stems 1-2 f. high, closely leafy and branched below, laxly leafy above, glabrous, 
or the younger parts softly villous. Leaves 1-14 inches long, not a line in diameter, 
acute, flexuous, somewhat margined, quite entire. Flowering branches a foot long, 
sparsely leafy to near the summit, rib-striate. Heads very similar to those of C. 
Laureola, but the rays are rather smaller and less numerous. Achenes glabrous, 
with a marginal, ciliate wing. sh .
