The flowers of specimens collected by Galpin at Garcias Pass (4461) are 
destitute of the long spreading hairs generally found intermixed with the short 
dense tomentum of the perianth, otherwise they agree with his 4460 from the 
same locality, which represents the common state. The size of the heads and 
flowers and the shape and size of the stigma are somewhat variable in this 
species, but it has not been possible to establish any correlation between these 
and other characters or refer those forms to definite areas. 
7. L. Gerrardii (Stapf) ; a small undershrub, } ft. high ; branches 
slender, minutely tomentose upwards with intermixed spreading 
hairs, glabrescent below; leaves scattered, uppermost loosely 
surrounding the flower-heads, oblong-oblanceolate, rounded at the 
apex with 3-2 small callously pointed teeth or the smaller quite 
entire and acute, long-cuneate towards the base, often narrowed 
into a slender short petiole, 2-2} in. long, }—3 in. broad, thinly 
coriaceous, prominently nerved, in the adult state almost glabrous 
with traces of a fine tomentum and some very fine long hairs; 
heads solitary, shortly peduncled, without a definite involucre of 
barren bracts, about 1} in. long and wide; peduncle } in. long, 
finely tomentose, bearing loosely imbricate, more or less spreading,

the tails; receptacle cylindrical, }—2 in. long; floral bracts ovate, 
caudate or acuminate up to 6 lin. long (including the sometimes 
4 lin.-long tails), densely tomentose, hirsute on the tails; adult 
flower-bud about 1 in. long; perianth, stamens and pistil as in 
L. attenuatum, but smaller in all parts ; anthers subsessile, under
