Var. y, intermixed with a, at Vanstaadensberg, Zeyher! (Herb. D., Hk., Sd.) 
A strong growing plant; 8. smaller in all parts. Leaves $-14 in. long, 2-41. 
wide, the uppermost spreading, all the lower strongly deflexed. Var. y. has quite 
the look of strong growing specimens of C. setosa, var. B., but the leaves are not in 
the least decurrent. Zeyher, who saw it in a fresh state, referred it to the preseut 
species ; the ordinary form of which he collected at the same time and place. 
11. C. floccosa (E. Mey. !); branches glabrous; leaves erecto-patent, 
decurrent, linear-lanceolate, with a thickened margin bearing on each 
side 2-3 pair of geminate cilia, glabrous, except a minute flocculent tuft 
in the axils of the marginal cilia; mv. sc. erect, the outer spinoso-ciliate 
like the leaves, cobwebby, inner shorter than the ray. DC. l. c. 499.

_An erect, rigid, much-branched and twiggy bush. Leaves 4—5 1. long, 13-21 
wide. Heads of small size. 
12. C, micracantha (DC.! 1. c. 499); twigs and leaves minutely 
viscidulous and glandular ; leaves oblong or elliptic-oblong, erecto- 
patent, mucronate, somewhat 3-nerved, decurrent, the margin bearing 
very short and slender, geminate, or sometimes solitary, spinous cilia ; 
inv. sc. erect, like the leaves but narrower, the inner nearly equalling 
the rays.

_ This resembles C. hispida, but is smaller and more slender, and specially differs 
in the decurrent, glandular leaves, and sm: ,« spines. 
13. C. hispida ome Syn. 87); the branches and leaves glabrous ; 
leaves oblongo- or lineari-spathulate, erecto-patent, spinous mucronate, 
narrowed at base, sessile, (not decurrent), the margin bearing long and 
rigid, solitary or geminate, spinous cilia; inv. se. erect, oblong-elliptical, 
entire, tapering into a long spinous point. DC.l.c. 499. Rohria hispida,

Branches robust, straight, 12-15 in. long. Leaves 1} in. long; 4-61. wide ; the 
marginal cilia frequently geminate, 3-41. long. Heads rather large in the genus. 
B. merely differs in its somewhat narrower leaves, and rather more bushy habit- 
The name “ hispida” is very unfortunate for a glabrous plant. 
14. C? sublanata (DC. 1.c. 500); “ branches cobweb-woolly; leaves 
sessile, half-spreading, linear lanceolate, glabrous above, white-woolly 
_ beneath, the margin scarcely revolute, tipped with a spine, and furnished 
with 6-8 spinous cilia ; inv. cobwebby at base, the sc. erect, the outer 
subciliate.” DC. 1. ¢.

This is said to have the habit and inflorescence of C. hispida. A leaf from Drege 
(Hb. Sd.) said to belong to this is oblong-obovate (!) very obtuse: there must be 
some strange blunder.
