41. ConEoPsis (sp. nov. P). Gani, Dec. 1862, Col. Grant! 
This plant is rather too far advanced for description. It has much of the general aspect of C. setigera, 
Schultz Bip. (Verbesina lineata, A. Rich. Fl. Abyss. 1. 410); but I do not find the outer uniseriate her- 
baceous involucral bracts so conspicuous as in that species, and the paleæ are shorter. Тһе remaining 
achenes are crowned by a minute cupuliform callus, no trace of setze being left. 
[A straggling plant, 2 or more feet high, found at the bases of outeropping granite rocks, Gani ; flower 
and fruit December.—J. А. G.]
