Leaves very variable, but generally more or less lyrate. The toment. is usually 
copious, soft and white, rarely deficient ; the surface is always smooth. Fl. heads 
large and showy. A. cuneata, DC., in its narrow-leaved forms looks different, but 
gradually passes into one or other var.; its leaves are sometimes thinly cobwebbed 
above. Zeyher’s 968 (Hb. Sd. Hk.) seems to be an extremely narrow form of var. 6, 
with almost linear leaves ; but the leaves vary to obovate-spathulate on the same 
specimen (Hb, Sd.) 
20. A. petiolata (Thunb. ! Cap. 708); stem herbaceous, diffuse or 
decumbent, striate, tomentose, leafy; leaves petioled, white-woolly and 
many-nerved beneath, green, smooth, and at length glabrous above, 
oblong-obovate, sharply toothed or pinnatifid, the lower ones lyrate, on 
longer petioles, simple at base, the cauline half-amplexicaul ; invol. 
nearly glabrous, the outer sc. with narrow, linear, spreading points.

Stem rooting at intervals, afterwards ascending-erect. Petioles of the lower lvs. 
14-2 inches long ; lamina 1-13 inch. _ The incision of the leaves varies much. Very 
near A. stechadifolia, var. discolor, if distinct. 
21. A. wnea (Jacq. f. eclog. 1. t. 52, fide DC.); stem suffruticose, as- 
cending, branched, branches striate, tomentose, ending in nude pedun- 
cles ; leaves petiolate, half-clasping at base, roundish, elliptical or 
broadly obovate, sharply and unequally toothed, whitish-woolly on both 
sides, with a few teeth or small lobules on the petiole ; outer inv. sc. 
with linear, tomentose points. DC. 7. c. 489.

Allied to A. stechadifolia, but with different foliage. Petioles 13~-2 in. long ; 
lamina 14 in. long and nearly as broad ; the teeth almost spinulose. I describe from 
E. § Zs specimens, seen by De Candolle ; of Jacquin’s plant I know nothing. 
22. A. lanceolata (Harv.); sufiruticose at base only, stems ascending- 
erect, subsimple, laxly leafy, angular, thinly tomentose, ending in long 
nude peduncles ; subradical leaves petioled, lanceolate or rarely lyrate, 
tapering much to each end, remotely denticulate, cauline not clasping, 
‘lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, subpetiolate, attenuate at base and apex,
