266 Mr. D. Don’s Descriptions of new Genera and Species 
dulosa. Anthere in tubum pentagonum coalite, appendi- 
culà lineari, obtusá terminate, basi bisetosz : setis longis, 
basi ramulosis. Stylus filiformis, glaber, basi incrassatus. 
Stigma bilobum : lobis brevissimis, obtusis, papillosis, par- 
tim connatis. Achenia compressiuscula, disco parüm con- 
cava, non dilatata, glabra. Pappi radiis copiosis, contiguis, 
plumosis, cinereo-fulvellis, mollissimis. 
The appellation of speciosa being so truly inapplicable to this 
species, I have preferred the unpublished one given to it by 
Dr. Martius. The plant was imported into this country from 
some continental nursery, where the name of speciosa no doubt 
originated.
