1-2 ft. high or more, the branches 10-18 inches long, straight, imbricated with 
leaves for } of their length or more, thence passing into a sparsely leafy peduncle. 
Leaves }-} inch long, 4-5 lines wide, commonly 3-toothed, but often toothed and 
entire on the same branch. Toment. rusty, persistent. Inv. 2} lines long, shorter 
than the flowers. Cacalia tomentosa, Th., referred to this by De Candolle, is a very 
different species, our S. Thunbergii. 
118. 8. quinquenervius (Sond.); stem erect, simple, suffruticose, 
villoso-tomentose, closely imbricated with leaves; leaves sessile, half- 
clasping at base, ovate or oblong-ovate, with reflexed edges, 3—5-ribbed 
and densely tomentose beneath, cinereo-tomentulose and impress-nerved 
above, either quite entire or 3—5-denticulate near the apex, now and 
then with a minute, stipuloid lobule at base; corymb compact, branching, 
several-headed, the pedicels short, tomentose ; heads 25—30-fl. ; inv. 
subealycled, of 8-10, oblong, tomentose scales, shorter than the disc; 
rays 5; achenes glabrous.

Very similar in general habit to S. lineatus but more woolly, with broader, com- 
monly 5-nerved leaves, not tapering to the base, and (in our specimens) very rarely 
furnished with a single, minute, tooth-like basal-lobe, the margins more reflexed and 
the apical teeth smaller. A small specimen, without habitat, is in Herb. Hk., 
glued on the same sheet with S. lineatus; of which this is perhaps a mere variety. 
119. 8. lineatus (DC.! 1. c. 395) ; stem erect, simple, suffruticose, 
cinereo-tomentose ; leaves crowded, sessile, at the very base furnished 
on each side with 1-3 narrow lobules (sometimes wanting), lanceolate, 
with recurved margins, either entire or coarsely few-toothed near the 
apex, tomentose and 3-nerved beneath, tomentulose, becoming glabrous 
above ; corymb somewhat peduncled, compact, branching, several- 
headed, the pedicels tomentose, scaly ; heads 20—-25-fl.; inv. calycled, 
the scales 8—9, oblong, acute, tomentulose, shorter than the disc ; rays 
5-6, eq. the inv. scales; achenes glabrous. Cineraria lineata, Linn. f.

Stem 1-2 f. high, virgate, imbricated with leaves, the uppermost smaller, narrower, 
and passing into leaf-seales. All the young parts tomentose, the older leaves be- 
coming nude above. Corymbs 12~30-headed. Inv. 4 lineslong. Rays yellow. 
120, S. triplinervius (DC. 1.c. 395); stem suffruticose, erect, cinereo- 
canescent, glabrescent at apex ; leaves sessile, lyrate, having at base on 
each side 2-3 minute, approximate, lanceolate lobules, the terminal 
lobe (or principal lamina) oblong or lanceolate, with recurved margins, 
coarsely few-toothed near the apex, cinereo-tomentose and three-nerved 
beneath, glabrous, with impressed veins above ; corymb lax, slightly 
compound ; heads about 25-fl.; inv. minutely calycled, of about 8, 
oblong, acute, glabrous scales, shorter than the disc ; rays 5—6, nearly 
as long as inv. scales; achenes glabrous.
