or racemose at the summit, angular, subglabrous ; lower leaves oblong 
or lanceolate, subacute, tapering much at base, subpetioled, entire or 
remotely denticled, glabrous above, woolly beneath ; upper (small) am-

Stem 1-1} ft. high. Lower lvs. 5-6 in. long, $-3 in. wide, frequently quite entire. 
Heads racemose, on 1-14 in. long pedicels, erect ; outer inv. sc. short, ovate, inner 
more and more lanceolate, all rigid, dry, fulvous. Recept. deeply ; itted, the cells 
with jagged, membranous edges. Achenes clothed with long, silky hairs. Papp. 
sc.. lanceolate, acuminate, serrato-ciliate. A specimen from Drege, in Hb. Hk., 
marked “ B. scolymoides,” precisely agrees with B. cynaroides, Less. ! 
2. B. scolymoides (DC. 1. c. 504); stem herbaceous, simple or tacemo- 
so-paniculate at the summit, striate, minutely puberulous; lower leaves 
oblongo-lanceolate, pungent, tapering at base into a petiole, glabrous 
above, woolly beneath, sinuous, the short lobes armed with 1-2 strong 
spines ; medial lvs. similar, but sessile; upper clasping, glabrous on 
both sides, many-nerved at base and veiny, closely pectinate with 
spinous cilia; inv. sc. glabrous, erect, imbricate, concave, the outer

T describe from Z. § Z.’s specimen, which quite agrees with DC.’s description ; 
whereas a sp. from Drege (in Hb. Hk.) marked “ scolymoides, DC.” is unquestion- 
ably B. eynaroides, The present is nearly intermediate between the last named 
species and B. carthamoides. In Dr. Thom’s sp. (Hb. Hk.) the heads are shortly 
racemose. : :
