Euryops.| COMPOSITZ (Harv.) 415 
Has. Cape, Thunberg/ Burchell, 2826. Nieuwwe-Hantam, Drege/ Africa’s Hoogte, 
Burke § Zey.! Beaufort, £. G Z./ (Herb. Th., D., Hk., Sd.) 
A much-branched, closely leafy, small shrub, about 1 foot high. Leaves 4~3 inch 
long, 1 line wide, rigid, subpungent. Pedicels as long. Heads 2 lines diameter. 
I cannot separate H. racemosus, DC. by any valid character ; the heads are perhaps 
a shade larger in Ecklon’s specimen. Lessing’s syn. seems never to have been pub- 
lished, or I should have adopted it. 
22. E. Candollei (Harv.) ; glabrous, much-branched ; leaves minute, 
sessile, closely imbricated, linear-oblong, nerve-keeled, with an inflexed 
mucro; pedicels lateral, short; inv. scales 6-8, broad, connate beyond 
the middle, subacute ; rays 6-7, twice as long as the involucre; achenes 
(fide DC.) glabrous. . wmbricatus, DC.! 1. ¢. 446, not of Lessing! 
Has, Witberg, 7-8000 f., Drege! (Herb. D., Hk.,  ) 
Stems 6-8 inches high, much-branched. Leaves (like those of a Brunia) 2 lines 
long, scarcely 1 line wide, broad at base, narrower upwards, with a thick, rounded 
keel, closely pressed on the stem and on each other. Pedicels 4-3} inch long. Heads 
small. A remarkable species, quite different from £, imbricatus, Less.! which I 
consider a mere var. of £, lateriflorus. 
23, E. empetrifolius (DC. 1.c. 446); “glabrous; leaves (minute) ses- 
sile, thick, subcoriaceous, oval-oblong, obtuse, subtrigonous, nerveless, 
the younger subimbricate, the adult spreading; heads very few, sub- 
terminal, subsessile; inv. broadly 5-lobed, the rays 1-2 ; achenes gla- 
brous.” DC. 1. ¢. 
Has. Roggeveld, near Riet R., Burchell. (Leaves scarcely 2 lines long.) 
24. E. asparagoides (Less.! Syn. 394); branches robust, terete, spread- 
ing, cinereous, alternate, closely beset with subsessile tufts of leaves 
and flowers (i. e. minute, undeveloped, leafy ramuli); axils woolly; 
leaves very short, linear, fleshy, obtuse, channelled beneath ; pedune. 
shorter than the leaves, fascicled ; heads homogamous, 8—12-flowered ; 
invol. turbinate, of 5 scales, slightly connate at base; recept. honey- 
combed ; ovaries pilose, Mikania asparagoides, Licht.! MSS. 
Has. Cape, Lichtenstein! (Herb. Berol., Sd.) 
Of this I have seen frustules of the authentic specimen (in Hb. Berol.) which is 
said to have branches as thick as a goosequill. Its fi.-heads are the smallest in the 
genus. Leaves 2~3 lines long. Pedune. 2 lines long. Inv, 14-2 lines. 
25. E. lateriflorus (Less.! Syn. 394); glabrous ; leaves sessile, im- 
bricated, ovate, oblong, or obovate-oblong, acute or obtuse, rigid-coria- 
ceous, quite entire, callous-edged, nearly neryeless ; pedune. axillary, 
filiform, 3-4 times longer than the leaves; inv. scales 7-8, broadly 
ovate, connate; recept. convex, honey-combed ; ligules 6-8, oblong ; 
achenes villous. DC./l.c. 445. Othonna lateriflora, Linn, f. Thunb.!

Var. 8. imbricatus; leaves obovate, obtuse, rugulose when dry (somewhat fleshy ’).
