400 COMPOSIT (Harv.) [ Senecio. 
Has. Cape, Thunterg! (fol. 2). Zwarteberg, Caledon, Dr. Pappe! (Herb. Th., 
D., Hk., Cap.) 
Stems very rigid and wiry, ligneous at base, slender; the bark often purple or 
dark. Leaves 1}-2 inches long, not 3 line wide, appearing terete from the strongly 
revolute margins, perfectly simple and distantly and unequally pinnati-lobed inter- 
mixed on the same branch. Panicle widely spreading ; pedicels 3-4 inches long. 
Rays creamy white. The leaves in Thunberg’s specimen are quite entire ; in other 
respects it agrees with Dr. Pappe’s. 
149, S. debilis (Harv.); suffruticose at base, nearly or quite glabrous; 
stem slender, angle-striate, diffusely branched, ascending-erect ; leaves 
distant, narrow-linear, acute, with revolute margins, entire; pedunc. — 
terminal, long, filiform, sparsely scaly, one-headed ; inv. shortly calycled, 
of about 20 acute scales; disc-fl. 40-50; rays 10-12, revolute; achenes 
puberulous. S. linaricefolius, Drege, ex pte. and S. paniculatus, Drege,

hage, Zey.! (Herb. Hk., Sd.) 
Perhaps 2 ft. high, laxly branched, very slender, with sparse foliage. Leaves 1$ 
inch long, {-1 line wide, either completely revolute at edges, and thus filiform, or 
flattish, with the margin reflected, and sometimes minutely callous denticled. Pedune. 
5-8 inches long, pale. Inv. 3—4 lines long, shorter than the disc ; raysyellow, strongly 
revolute, Calycle not a line long. Drege seems to have confounded more than one 
species under his ‘ S. linariafolius;” the plant so named in Hb. Sond. is different 
from that here described, and may belong to S. Burchellii. Whether our plant be 
identical or not with S. linoides, DC., I cannot say. 
150. 8. longifolius (Linn.? Sp. 1222); quite glabrous ; stem shrubby, 
much branched, flexuous, the older branches nude and cicatricised, the 
younger and twigs closely leafy; leaves linear-elongate, very narrow, 
quite entire, tapering to both ends, acute, thickish or fleshy (commonly 
terete-involute), witha slender midrib; corymbs peduncled, compound, 
spreading, the divisions few-headed, pedicels nearly nude ; heads radiate, 
25-30-fl.; inv. slightly calycled, of 10-12 narrow scales; rays oblong, 
about 5; achenes puberulous. Cineraria filifolius, Th.! Cap. 669. 8:

kamma, Pappe! (Herb. Th., D., Hk.) : 
A large shrub, with curved ash-coloured branches, nude and rough below. Leaves 
3-6 inches long, 1-1} line wide, apparently terete from the strongly involute edges, 
occasionally flat, becoming dark in drying and probably shrinking. Pedune. term 
nal, nude, pale, 3-9 inches long, bearing a loosely much branched corymb. Drege’ 
specimens in Hb. D., Hk., under this name belong to S. Burchellii; possibly also 
that in Hb. Sd. 
151. 8. rosmarinifolius (Linn. f. suppl. 369); stem shrubby, erech 
branches virgate, leafy, cobwebbed or glabrate; leaves lance-linear oF 
linear, entire or denticulate, with revolute edges, midribbed beneath, 
glabrous or cobwebbed, or scaberulous; corymb peduncled, branched, 
its divisions compactly many-headed ; pedicels short, scaly; heads radi- 
ate, 50—G6o-fl.; rays 8-10, broad; invol. calycled, of 12-15 glabrous OF 
cobwebbed, narrow scales; achenes hispidulous on the stria. Zhunb./
