294 Mr. D. Don’s Descriptions of new Genera and Species 
bilabiati, láctei; /abio eateriore petaloideo, orbiculato, ob- 
tusétridenticulato, 4-nervio, patulo; inferiore bipartito : 
segmentis: lanceolato-attenuatis; apice obtusulis, revolutis. 
Anthere appendiculà ovato-lànceolatà, acuta, membrana- 
ceá terminate, basi bisetze: setis linearibus, acutis, com- | 
planatis;,: simplicibus, ipsá antherá feré dupló brevioribus. 
Stigma bipartitum:: . segmentis recurvis, apice truncatis, 
minute papillosis.- Achenia trigona, undique villosissima. 
Pappi radiis 3, paleaceis, linearibus, canaliculatis, caducis : 
apice recurvato, ciliato, niveo. 
This curious genus agrees with Proustia, before described, in 
the definite number of its florets, in its hairy receptacle, and 
in its imbricate involucrum; but I have placed it here prin- 
cipally on account of the structure of its pappus, although the 
difference of this organ is more apparent than real : for the 
pales, which crown the fruit of this genus, are evidently formed i 
by the confluence of innumerable fibres, whose extremities even | 
in this instance are free.
