Has. Caffirland, Krebs! E. § Z.! 8. Fort Beaufort, Cooper, 417. (Herb. Sd.) 
Leaves 24-33 in. long, 2-4 1. wide, occasionally pinnatifid, the lobes 2-3 pair. 
Pedunec. 2 in. long. Invol. 6-71. long. 8. varies with hispidulous and glabrous 
leaves ; in other respects it agrees pretty well with a. Zeyher’s 3014, from the 
Zwartkop R., is also probably the same ; it varies with rough or smooth leaves. 
12. G. pinnata (Less.! Syn. 43); rootstock perennial, emitting many 
fibres ; leaves radical, petioled, white beneath, above and on the reflexed 
»margins and often on the midrib beneath hispid (rarely glabrous), 
~ pinnatipartite (some entire), lobes oval-oblong or linear, 2-6-8 pair, 
subdecurrent; pedunc. not much longer than the leaves, hirsute or 
smooth; inv. campanulate, truncate at base, hispid or glabrous, the 
segments in 2-3 rows, all lanceolato-subulate, much acuminate, nerved, 
the outer leafy, rigidly ciliate, inner glabrous or softly ciliate. Gorterva

Leaves 3-5-8 in. long, more or less pinnate, very generally hispid above, rarely 
quite glabrous ; lobes 3-10 1. long, 1-3 1. wide. In an original specimen 
by Lessing (Hb. Sd.) the inv. is quite glabrous and the pedunce. roughly setose ; Mr. 
rights specimens vary with glabrous or hispid involucres. I regret that I have 
not seen specimens of our first four varieties, which I venture to refer here, from 
the descriptions given of their involucres by their authors: foliage is a most uncertain 
character in this genus. 
13. G. Pavonia (R. Br. Hort. Kew. 2, vol. 5, p.140) ; rhizome divid- 
ing, ligneous; leaves subradical, petioled, hispid and green above, albo- 
tomentose beneath, entire or pinnatisect, the segments oblong, acute, 
subdecurrent, with revolute margins; pedunc. longer or shorter than 
the leaves, pilose or glabrous; invol. campanulate, hispid or glabrous,
