COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 85 
plane eminentes, 2 mm. longe. Achenia adhuc cruda cylindrica, setulifera, 
1-1:25 mm. longa. Pappi sete læves, sordide albe, 5 mm. longe. 
Camps IX to XI and XIII, 5500 to 8300 and 10,500 ft. 
| Branches leafy throughout or without leaves for a short space not more than 4 cm. 
below the inflorescence. Leaves drying darkish upon the upper face and palely shining; - 
petioles up to 1 cm. in length, though mostly only half as long or even less, puberulous. 
Corolla of female florets 4'5 mm. long, of hermaphrodite 6:5 mm. long, rather more than 
1 mm. wide at the throat, its 5 deltoid lobes less than 1 mm. in length. Style-arms 
compressed, obtuse, in length slightly exceeding 1 mm. 
This looks much like 2. chinensis, DC., from which, however, it can readily be 
distinguished by the denser inflorescence, the involucres, and the glabrous receptacles.

Distrib. Endemic in New Guinea. 
ANAPHALIS MONOCEPHALA, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Caules reptantes, rigidi, tomentosi, deinde glabri, ramulos patentes crebro foliosos 
tomentosos frequenter emittentes. Folia inferiora ramulorum approximata, lineari- 
spathulata, obtusa, 7 mm. longa, superiora magis sparsa, necnon longiora, 1 cm. 
longa, omnia utrinque tomento albo arcto vel araneoso involuta. Capitula ad 
normam generis magna, apicem ramulorum solitatim terminantia, subsessilia, 
multiflosculosa, circa 13 x 15 mm. Involucrum hemisphserieum, circa 7-seriale ; 
phylla oblonga, extima basi araneoso-tomentosa, czetera glabra, appendice radiante 
lineari-oblonga acuta vel obtuse acuta dilute brunnea onusta, extima 7-8 x 1:2 mm., 
cetera 10x1 mm. Flosculi feminei circa 98, steriles. Flosculi hermaphroditi 
circa 67, fertiles (anne omnes?); corolle tubulose, superne brevissime ampli- 
ficate, vix 3 mm. longs, tubo lobis multo breviore. Anthere incluse, basi 
brevissime caudiculate, 1 mm. longs. Styli rami abbreviati. Achenia oblonga, 
glabra, 1 mm. longa. Pappi sete basi brevissime connate, scabridie, albe, 3 mm. 
longe. 
Camps XIII to XIV, 10,500 to 12,500 ft. | 
A rampant herb with many very patent straggling wiry branches. Receptacle 
concave. Style of the fertile florets shortly exserted, its somewhat clubbed arms 
0:2 mm. in length. 
Though its heads are solitary, 4. nubigena, DC., var. papuana, Lauterb. can scarcely 
be identical with this, seeing that it is described as unbranched, with sub-linear white 
involucral leaves. If it should prove to be identical, the plant above described could 
. not, in my judgment, be regarded as conspecific with A. nubigena. Its characteristics 
among Papuan species may be said to be the small leaves hairy on both sides, the large 
solitary heads, and the relatively narrow, pale bronze involucres. 
GNAPHALIUM LUTEO-ALBUM, Linn. Sp. Pl. 851. 
. Camps VIII to X, 4900 to 6700 ft. 
Distrib. A cosmopolitan weed.
