302 Mr. D. Don’s Descriptions of new Genera and Species 
Drazruxis? serrata, p. 254. 
In a collection of dried plants, which Mr. Lambert lately 
received from Messrs. Schiede and Deppe, is a specimen in 
flower of this plant, which proves to be a genus akin to Serra- 
tula; and it is therefore to be expunged from Diazeuzis, to 
which it had been referred from habit alone, and the following 
inserted in its place.

I odii to have added to my remarks on Oe genus; that the 
presence or absence of appendages to the scales of the invo- 
lucrum is a character of specific importance only, as may be 
seen by a comparison of species intimately allied, such as Mu- 
tisia Clematis and lanata, and M. inflexa and linearifolia. I have 
v satisfied myself as to the identity of Mutisia grandiflora of
