An erect shrub, a foot or more high ; . smaller, much branched, with crowded 
branches and twigs. Lower leaves more distant and longer, 2-2} lines, upper I-13 
line long, flattish or channelled, sparsely punctate beneath. Flowers mostly sur- 
mounted with new branches, 8-16, sub-umbellate ; peduncles 2-3 lines long. Calyx 
1-14 line long, hairy or glabrous-ciliate.—Var. a. is near A. prolifera from which it 
i in the erect, imbricate, trigonous-pointed leaves, not dorsally-ciliate, twice 
shorter peduncles and broader petals. Var. 8. is more like A. erecta; but differs in 
the acuminate, acuter leaves, more hirsute peduncles and twigs, and innovations ex- 
ceeding the leaves. Var y. approaches A. rubra, but the leaves are much shorter 
and pubescence different. From A. ericoides it differs in the acute and shorter 
leaves, always glabrous above. 
88. A. eapitata (Sond.); twigs scarcely downy ; leaves imbricate, lan- 
ceolate-trigonous, sub-obtuse, acutely keeled, long-ciliate at keel and mar- 
gin, otherwise glabrous; flowers capitate; peduncles equalling the calyx, 
glabrous, bracteolate below the apex; calyx-lobes lanceolate, keeled, 
glabrous at. back and margin; petals longer than the calyx; sterile fila- 
ments equalling the claw of the petals, linear filiform, glabrous at base 
and apex, pilose in the middle; style glabrous. A. erecta, E. Mey. m

A small, much branched am, Pee high, with pth es oe branches, 
short, about uncial twigs. Leaves appressed, channelled, 14-2 lines long. Heads 
sessile, 10-20 flowered: pedunc. 1 line long, bracts lanceolate, ciliate, separate, 
with 2 ciliolate bracteoles at the apex. Calyx-lobes concave-keeled. Petals with a 
filiform, glabrous claw, and a shorter lamina. Ov il + top. Carpels 2, gla- 
brous, with ciliate horns. a 
89. A. erecta (B. & W.! 1. c. p. 135); erect, much branched; twigs 
clothed with very short hairs; leaves imbricate, oblong-linear, obtuse, 
trigonous, minutely gland-dotted, the younger ciliolate at keel and mat- 
gin, adult glabrous ; flowers umbellate ; peduncles villous ; the segments 
of the glabrous calyx ovato-lanceolate, obtuse; petals twice as long as 
the calyx, the claw equalling the calyx, the limb oblong, or elliptical; 
sterile filaments equalling the calyx or rather longer, linear, pubescent, 
glabrous-pointed ; ovary and style glabrous. ;
