channelled, beneath cano-tomentose, with entire, scarcely revolute 
margins ; pedunc. about as long as leaves, at first canous, then gla- 
brate ; invol. truncate at base, cylindro-turbinate, thinly canescent, the

Has. Basutu Land, 7. Cooper! 719. (Herb. D.) — 
A dwarf plant, probably from high land, and dry, rocky ground. Leaves 13-2} 
in. long, not a line wide, none pinnatisect on our specimen. All the young parts 
pale, with very minute, white, downy pubescence, which rubs off in age. Heads of 
small size; invol. 4 inch long, 3-4 lines wide at top ; rays about 12, yellow, with a 
central band beneath. 
22. G. Lichtensteinii (Less.! Syn. 50); root slender, perpendicular, 
annual! stems many from the crown, short, diffuse, leafy, cobwebbed ; 
leaves obovato-spathulate, tapering into a petiole, entire or bluntly 3-5- 
lobed, cobwebby-tomentose, becoming nude above, as well as the petiole 
serrato-ciliate, mucronate ; pedune. slender, glabrous, longer than the 
leaves ; inv. glabrous, cylindro-turbinate, at base produced into a hollow, 
truncate, reversed cup, the lobes biseriate, outer very short, deltoid, 
inner longer, ovate-acuminate or ovato-semilanceolate, acute. DG. l. c.

Has. Cape, Lichtenstein. Zilverfontein, and by the Gariep, Drege / Springbok- 
keel, Zey.! 972. Namaqualand, A. Wyley! (Herb. D., Hk., Sd.) 
Root tapering, 2-4 inches long, with lateral fibres. Stems 2-4 in. long, spread- 
ing. Leaves 13-24 in. long, 2-41. wide, often crenate-lobed. Heads small ; inv. 
3 inch long, 3-5 l. wide at top, rays 8-10, broad, golden-yellow, with a dark spot 
at base, and on the under side a medial, greenish band. 
23. G. tenuifolia (Less. Syn. 50); root slender, annual ; stems many 
from the crown, short, decumbent, leafy; cauline leaves petioled, sub- 
scaberulous aboye, albo-tomentose beneath, some narrow-linear, entire, 
the majority pinnatisect above the middle, the lobes 3—4-pair, narrow- 
linear, acute, entire, the rachis and petiole narrow-margined ; pedunc. 
glabrous, little longer than the leaves ; inv. glabrous, at base truncate- 
ridged and obconic, short-tubed, lobes in several rows, much acumi- 
nate, the outer short, squarrose, inner lanceolate, rather longer than 
the short rays; pappus scales elongate, much longer than the ovarian 
wool. DC. l.c. 513. 
Has. Cape, Lichtenstein. Zilverfont. and Olifant’s R., Drege! (Hb. D., Hk., Sd.) 
Stems 1-3 inches long. Leaves 2-24 inches long, the rachis and lobes not a line 
wide, but evidently white beneath. Heads small, and rays very short. The habit 
is that of this genus, but the ach. and pappus-sc. are very differently proportioned. 
24, G. Burchellii (DC.! 1. c. 514) ; root perpendicular, slender, an- 
nual; stem leafy at the crown, branched from the base, the branches 
spreading, hispid, with alternate leaves which are crowded toward the 
apices ; leaves petioled, very scabrous above, nearly nude beneath, with 
strongly revolute margins, either linear or pinnatisect, the apices of the 
lobes tipped, and the petiole ciliate with long, white, rigid bristles; 
pedunce. terminal, longer than the leaves, pubescent; inv. obovate, his- 
pid, the scales pluriseriate, outer subulate, inner semi-lanceolate, all 
much acuminate, and tipped with rigid, subpungent bristles. Hirpi-
