Sourn Arrica: described by Link from a cultivated plant. 
From the description this is very probably identical with L. decorum, R. Br. — 
62. L. sessile (R. Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. x. 54); branches 
pubescent ; leaves 13-2} in. long, 5-7 lin. broad, lanceolate, 
subobtuse, subdistinctly veined, glabrous ; old female head 2 in.
