leafy, or half naked upwards, and corymbosely panicled at top. Leaves linear-subu- 
late, erect, quite entire, keeled, pungent. Heads pedicellate, fl. yellow. 2. Meyer's

Woody at base and dividing into several stem-like branches, 1-14 foot high, the 
lower part, for 2-4 inches long, closely leafy. Leaves $-1 in. long, not 1 line diam., 
the upper small and distant, pale . Heads laxly corymbose, on slender pedi-

LVII.? PHYMASPERMUM, Less. 
Heads many-fl., heterogamous ; ray-/l. of two forms, some ligulate, 
some filiform ; disc. hermaphrodite, terete, 5-toothed. Recept. naked, 
flat. Inv, campanulate, closely imbricated. Ovary wingless, without

A much-branched shrub. Leaves scattered, sessile, leathery, linear, keeled, with 
very entire, revolute margin, at length shining. Heads solitary, small, terminal ; 
rays white. Inv.-scales tomentose, obtuse, mucronate. Achenes obovate. Name 
from uua, a swelling, and orepua, a seed ; the achenes are papillated.

ceum, Thunb.! Cap. 714. 
Has. Cape, Thunberg! (Herb. Th.) 
Stem diffusely branched, angularly ribbed, minutely puberulous, reddish. Leaves 
5-7 lines long, quite glabrous, rigid, erect or erecto-patent, the revolute margin con- 
cealing the lower surface. Of this a very poor specimen, from which all the flowers 
have dropped, alone remains in Herb, Thunb. It is glued on a sheet with a speci- 
men of Osteosp. spinosum. I have been unable to verify the generic character. The 
aspect is quite that of a genuine Osteospermum.
