452 COMPOSIT& (Harv.) [ Arctotis. 
some lyrate, some pinnatipartite, the lobes oblong, entire ; scapes 2-3 
times longer than the leaves, tomentose and hispid ; outer inv. sc. hir- 
sute, with dark, spreading points ; inner tomentose, with a wide, gla- 
brous margin; achenes thinly pubescent, with a basal tuft of short, silky 
hairs, the lateral wings strongly toothed. Walp. Ann. vol. 5. p. 351. 
Dietr. Fl. Univ., Comp. t. 6. Arctotheca grandiflora, Drege, fide Turcz. 
Has. Riv. Zondereinde, Zeyher / 3005. (Herb, Sd., Hk.) 
Very similar in general aspect and foliage to A. leptorhiza ; but with a different 
involucre and achene, and apparently purple ray-flowers. 
9, A. adpressa (DC. 1. c. 485); nearly stemless, stem very short, 
decumbent, dividing at the crown ; leaves petioled, lyrate, toothed, on 
both sides woolly, the lobes short and blunt; pedune. elongate, tomen- 
tose and hairy; outer inv. scales short, ovate, pointless, appressed. A. 
acaulis, Jacq. Sch. t. 158, fide DC. 
Has. Zeederberg, Drege! Sneeuwekop, Dr. Wallich! (Herb. Sond., D.) 
Leaves 2-3 in. long, wholly canescent and somewhat rusty, lyrate, with few 
lateral lobes. Inv. scales pale, wholly pointless! I omit the ‘ Uitenhage’ hab. of 
E. § Z., quoted by DC., because all the specimens from those collectors which I 
have seen (in Hb. Sd., D.) belong to Haplocarpha lyrata. 
10. A. oocephala (DC. 1. c. 486); “nearly stemless; radical leaves 
petioled, setose or tubercularly very rough above, thickly white-woolly 
beneath, 3-nerved, elliptic-oblong, obtuse, sinuate-toothed ; pedunc. 
subtomentose, hairy, equalling or exceeding the leaves; inv. scales ap- 
pressed.” DC. 1. ¢. 
Has. Zeederberge, Drege. (Unknown to me.) 
‘Collum and petioles woolly. Leaves 3 in. long, 6-9 1. wide. Achenes striate 
at back, sparingly villous at base.” DC. l. c. 
11, A. verbascifolia (Harv.); nearly stemless, with a thick rhizome; 
subradical leaves on long petioles, broadly ovate, obtuse, subcordate at 
base, repando-crenate, as well as the petiole thickly clothed on both 
sides with felted, woolly hairs; pedunc. 1~2ce as long as leaves, woolly; 
all the inv. scales ovate, obtuse, appressed, without appendix. 
Has. Skurfdeberg, Zeyher / (Herb. Hk., Sd.) 
Rootstock $-$ in. thick. Petioles 2-3 in. long; lamina 2-2} in. long, nearly as 
wide at base, immersedly many nerved. Toment very thick and shaggy, whitish. 
Achenes densely silky ; rather shorter than the pappus. Well marked by its foliage 
and inyolucre. 
12. A. angustifolia (Linn. Sp. 1306, non Jacq.); stem herbaceous, 
diffuse or erect, branching, roughly hispid and glandular; leaves short- 
petioled or subsessile, lanceolate or elliptic-oblong, acute, remotely 
toothed or entire, scabrous or hispid above, white-woolly and 3-nerved 
beneath, not eared at base; pedune. terminal, pilose, short or longish ; 
inv. cobwebby, the outer sc. with long, subulate, squarrose points.
