Cineraria. | COMPOSIT£ (Harv.) 307 
with a very short beak covered with thick bristles, resembling an outer 
pappus. Pappus uniseriate, bristle-shaped, very slender, deciduous, in 
the central-fl. of many, in the marginal of few bristles. DC. Prodr. 6, 
P. 304. 
A rigid, herbaceous, glabrous perennial. Stems several from the crown, rib-striate, 
branched above. Leaves on winged petioles, pinnatisect, the lobes lanceolate, 
toothed. Branches ending in naked, elongate, one-headed pedicels, subcorymbose. 
Corollas pale yellow, with red medial lines. Name from yeoos, the middle, and 
ypauun, a line; alluding to the medial nerve of the corolla, being much more strongly 
marked than the marginal: a character also found in Cineraria.

Name from cinereus, grey or ash-coloured ; the prevalent colour of the foliage in the 
original species. The habit is that of Senecio, from which Cineraria differs by the 
cone-tipped style and the usually flattened or many-angled achenes. Many species 
formerly comprised in it, including the parent of the garden ‘‘ Cineraria,” have been 
removed to Senecio; others to other genera. 
I. Senecromes. Achenes quite glabrous, broadly 3-4-winged. Leaves sessile, 
clasping, woolly, entire or serrulate (not lobed). ... ..,  ... (1) tomentosa, 
II. Ev-crnerarta. Achenes compressed or flattened, hispid or glabrous, with 
inal border or wing (but no disc-wings). Leaves petioled, the petiole often 
eared at base, the lamina lobed, toothed or lyrate-pinnatisect, the terminal lobe 
often reniform. (Sp. 2-21.)
