spreading-recurved, not crowded, linear, setaceous-acuminate, convex 
and suleate below, flat above, rigid, glabrous, smooth, 23-32 lin. 
long; heads 5-10-flowered ; pedicels }—1 lin. long; bracts linear, 
leaf-like, a little shorter than the sepals; sepals somewhat lax, 
subulate, from a broad short lacerate base, acuminate, the younger 
gland-ciliate, about 13 lin. long; corolla broad-urceolate or sub- 
campanulate, only slightly coristricted at the throat, glabrous, sordid 
yellow, nearly 2 lin. long; segments slightly spreading, rounded, 
overlapping at the base to the right (viewed externally), about 2 the 
length of the tube; filaments short, about equal to the ovary; 
anthers included, cuneate-oblong; cells deeply parted, smooth, 
2 lin. long, aristate ; pore less than } the length of the cell; awns 
subulate-acuminate from a broader base, about or nearly as long as 
the cell; style included or just manifest ; stigma clavate-capitellate ; 
ovary obovate, subconstricted at the base, glabrous. 
Var, B, pubescens (Guthrie & Bolus); the whole plant more softly downy ; 
branches subvirgate, slender, pubescent; leaves pubescent ; bracts and sepals 
densely ciliate with long soft plumose hairs.

Our var. 8 is based upon a specimen with mostly undeveloped flowers ; but we 
have little doubt of its relation to this species. 
338. E. Greyii (Guthrie & Bolus); decumbent, wide-spreading ; 
branches chiefly from the base, rather slender, minutely pubescent, 
6-12 in. long ; leaves 3-nate, few and subdistant, erect-spreading, 
linear-subterete, acute, sulcate, distantly and obsoletely ciliate, 
shining, glabrous, 3-44 lin. long; heads subglobose, 5-6 lin. in 
diam., 6—8-flowered ; pedicels 1 lin. long; bracts narrow-lanceolate, 
gland-hispid and ciliate with long white hairs, 1-1} lin. long ; 
sepals like the bracts, but shortly connate at the base, about 1 lin. 
long; corolla urceolate, not much constricted at the throat, puberu- 
lous, 2 lin. long ; segments spreading, erosulate, 11 the length of 
the tube; filaments dilated at the base and apex, narrowed in the 
middle, thinly pilose, about three times the length of the anther; 
anthers subexserted or included (but probably always exserted at 
maturity), oblong, incurved, obtuse at either extremity, glabrous, 
nearly + lin. long, denticulate-aristate; pore 2 the length of the 
cell; teeth minute on either side of the apex of the wide filament, 
about 1 the length of the cell and not reaching to its base; style 
exserted, straight, slender; stigma capitellate ; ovary subglobose, 
thinly hispidulous.
