A robust, much-branched, woody shrub, with the aspect of a Phylica. Leaves 
5-6 lines long, } line wide, horizontally spreading or deflexed, linear, acute, silky. 
Ray-fl. narrow obovate or spathulate, entire, without style, their ovary filiform. 
Lobes of disc-fl, remarkably acuminate.

Has. Cape, Hb. Hook.! Distr. of George, Dr. Alecander Prior! (Hb. Hk. Cap.) 
Foliage and habit exactly as in Th. Mundtii, but the fi.-heads are solitary, many- 
flowered, resembling those of an Osmites. I have seen perfect specimens in Hb. 
Cap., collected.by Dr. Alexander Prior. The species was first named however from 
a small it, marked “834” in Hb. Hook., without locality or ray flowers.
