 tura, glaberrimum, 10-costatum. Pappus duplex, paleis

 subspiraliter tortis albidis. 



Distinguished from L. Passerina, by its longer narrower 

 and more pungent leaves, and the structure and colour of the 

 pappus.

 usculis, foliis confertis sessilibus patulis subrecurvatis 

 lineari-lanceolatis basi dilatatis subacuminatis margine

Frutex ramosissimus, 3-4-pedalis. Folia 3-lin. longa, 

 lineam circiter lata, coriacea. Corolla extus resinoso-glandu-

 squamulseformibus obtusis brunneis, intimis multo lon- 

 gioribus linearibus acutis margine glabris nee spiraliter tortis 

 albidis. 



This species differs from the two preceding in its shorter, 

 broader leaves, very obtuse involucral scales, and the plane, 

 not spirally twisted, inner paleee of the pappus.
