6-8 inches high, with a few slender, subulate, scattered leaves. Inv. } inch long, 
among the largest in the genus, when mature nearly an inch across. Female 
marginal flowers, several, uniseriate, denticulate at summit, quite cylindrical. 
Achenes shortly hairy. 7hunberg’s original specimens are in excellent order ; I 
have seen no modern ones agreeing with them. DC. quotes a specimen No. 6804 
of Burchell’s list from Swellendam. Zcklon’s Uitenhage plant seems different ; it 
is probably our K. Ecklonis. 
18, K.? subradiata (DC. 1. c. 339); “shrubby, erect, branching, 
glabrous ; branches terete ; leaves sessile, fleshy, linear, thick, acute, 
quite entire; heads at the ends of the branches subcorymbose ; pedunc. 
shorter than the leaves; pedicels scaly, shorter than the head; inv. 
scales 7-8; rays few, shorter than their own style; achenes softly 
pubescent.” DC. 1. c. 
Has. Graaf Reynet, Ecklon. (Unknown to me.) 
Allied, according to DC., to Senecio acutifolius, but the leaves are 14 inch long, 
and the expanded portion of the ligule so minute as to be scarcely obvious to the 
eye. Is the plant more properly a Senecio?
