A coarse shrub or small tree, 12-15 ft. high, the principal stem measuring 1} ft. 
circumference. Leaves 6-9 in. long, 3-5 in. wide, very rigid and leathery. FI. 
branch or peduncle 1~2 ft. long, j-1 in, thick. Heads very large, in fruit 4~5 in.

3. 0. Papionum (DC.! 1. c.); stem very short, thick and woody, 
tomentose, closely marked with leaf-scars ; leaves crowded at the apex 
of the stem, obovate-oblong, cuneate-attenuate at base, with subrevolute 
margins, glabrous and nerveless above, tomentose, strongly ribbed and 
penninerved, with netted interspaces beneath ; fl. stem pedunculoid, 
elongate, glabrous, very laxly leafy, its lower leaves similar to the 
cauline, but smaller, upper much depauperated ; heads 1-2, long-pedi- 
celled; inv. very tomentose, connivent, urceolate, its scales densely

Leaves 5-7 in. long, 2-24 in. wide, much narrower than in 0. Arbuscula. Flower- 
ing stem 2-3 ft. high, striate, minutely tomentulose, becoming glabrous. I have 
only seen immature fl. heads and old, denuded receptacles. Flowers unknown. 
The habit is completely similar to that of the other species ; the inv. very different.
