ubricated, subdecurrent, " elliptic-oblong (small), tipped with a long, 
rigid, deflexed spine, the thickened margin bifariously pectinate with 
many long, slender, spinous cilia ; inv. sc. shorter than the rays, the

A straggling, small shrub, much or little branched. Leaves 3-4 lines long, their 
spinous mucro nearly as long and always strongly deflexed; marginal cilia in 8-10 
pairs, those of both series nearly equally long. Rays twice as long as the involucre. 
8. C. rigida (DC.! l.¢. 500) ; branches and leaves glabrous ; leaves 
small, flattish, slightly concave above, subdecurrent, ovate-acuminate, 
tapering into a long, rigid bristle, horizontally spreading or subrecurved, 
the thickened margin bearing 2-3 spinous cilia; outer inv. sc. ‘recurved, 
leaf-like, inner erect, oblong, spine-tipped, fringed with soft, short hairs,

A small, lonely Raat Scr Tater 2-3 4 long, 1 1. wide. | By De. it is 
considered most akin to C. _ pectinata ; but I rather place it next C. oetOne, gegen in 
many respects it resembles in miniature.

9. C. setosa (R. Br.) ; branches vlataoan curved, spreading; leaves 
oblong or lance-oblong, decurrent, strongly curved backwards, ending 
in a long, spinous point, the thickened margin bearing on each side 3—4 
long, rigid, spinous cilia, which are occasionally geminate + bifarious ; 
inv. sc. squarrose, resembling the leaves, but narrower. Less. / Syn. 86.

A very straggling, weak, much or little branched bush. Leaves 3-5 lines long, 
1-2 lines wide, the cilia long and stiff. Heads small. Some of Drege’s distributed 
specimens under this name belong to C. decurrens. C. adnata, | 
growth than usual, with larger and consequently more strong 
(often with 5-6 solitary or geminate spines); but the ordinary C. setosa varies con- 
siderably in size and luxuriance. All the specimens I have seen of “C. adnata,” 
from E. § Z.! belong to common C. setosa. 
10, C. cirsioides (DC. ! 1. c. 499); branches robust, thinly cobwebby 
or glabrous; leaves crowded, lanceolate from a broad base, sessile, 
strongly deflexed, inversely imbricated, spinous mucronate, somewhat 
g-nerved, the margin bearing long and slender, but rigid geminate or 
solitary spinous cilia; inv. sc. like the leaves, with spreading or deflexed 
points.
