Stems rigid and ligneous, but Mrs. Barber calls it “a branching annual:” pos- 
sibly by inadvertence. Branches closely or sparsely leafy, 6-12 inches long. Leaves 
1-14 inch long, their lobes 2-3 or 4-5 lines long, simple or lobulate. Heads some- 
times solitary, more generally in few-headed, long pedicelled corymbs. Inv. with 
1-2 scales at base or nude; its scales 3-4 lines long, 1 line wide, green, white- 
edged, flat. Var. 8. seems merely a weak-growing specimen. 
131. S. serrurioides (Turcz.! 1 c. p. 89); stem suffruticose, erect, 
branching, densely leafy, glabrous or scaberulous; branches angle-striate, 
leafy-below, subpedunculoid upwards ; leaves sessile, glabrous or sca- 
berulous, rigid, closely pinnatisect, the lobes on each side 8—12, linear- 
terete, acute, the lower entire, the upper bifid or lobulate ; heads soli- 
tary or in pairs on long, sparsely leafy or nude, scabrous, pedunculoid 
branches ; inv. nearly nude at base, of 12-15 flat, acwminate, scabrous, 
membrane-edged scales ; disc-fl. 80-100; rays 10-12, longer than the 
inv., 4-lined ; achenes 5-angled, glabrous. Walp. Ann. Bot. 5, p. 337. 
Has. Moist places on the Vanstaadensberg, Uit., Zey.! 2974. (Hb. D., Hk., Sd.) 
Very near S. achilleefolius, but much stronger, more densely leafy, with fewer, 
larger, and less corymbose fl. heads, and scabrous peduncles and inyolucre. Leaves 
imbricating, 1-11 inch long, their lobes } line wide, 5-8 lines long ; inv. scales 5-6 
lines long, taper-pointed. 
182. S. euryopoides (DC.! 1. c. 396); glabrous or nearly so; stem 
sufiruticose, erect, virgate, densely leafy, terete, corymbose at the sum- 
mit; leaves imbricating, sessile, ear-lobed at base, pinnati-partite, the 
lobes on each side 6-8, linear-elongate, with recurved edges, acute, quite 
entire ; corymb compound, the pedune. long, nude, the pedicels scaly; 
iny. calycled, of 12-15 acuminate, glabrous scales; disc-fl. 35-40, rays 
8-10, oblong, multistriate ; achenes glabrous. 
Has. Between Welgelegen and Onzer, Langekloof, Drege / (Herb. D., Sd., Hk.) 
Stem 2~3 feet high, closely invested with leaves throughout. Leaves 14-2 inches 
long, the lobes 1-14 inch long, not $ line wide, flat. Peduncles 4-6 inches long ; 
pedicels 4-1 inch. Iny. 3 lines long. Rays about as long, broad for their length. 
133. S. pinnatifidus (Less.! Syn. 391, non DC.); quite glabrous; stem 
suffruticose, erect, striate, closely leafy, subsimple; leaves bipinnati- 
partite, the lobes narrow-linear, with recurved edges, acute, spreading, 
quite entire; fl. branches partly nude upwards, ending in a subsimple, 
few-headed lax corymb, or ina panicle of many such corymbs; pedicels 
elongate, scaly; inv. calycled, turbinate, of 12-13 scales, 30—-40-fl., 
discoid, shorter than the fi. ; achenes glabrous. 8. abrotanoides, E.

Very similar in habit and foliage to S. bipinnatus, but readily known by its many- 
flowered heads, either loosely panicled or in a simple corymb. Thunberg’s specimens 
quite agree with those of recent collectors. 
134. S. foeniculoides (Harv.) ; quite glabrous ; stem suffruticose, erect, 
striate, closely leafy; leaves bipinnati-partite, the lobes narrow-linear
