tomentosis, foliis sparsis sessilibus lanceolatis basi atte- 

 nuates apice obtusiusculis margine ad basim revolutis supra 

 glabris subtus cinereo-tomentosis penniveniis utrinque 

 valde reticularis, capitulis 5-floris in glomerulos bracteatos 

 congestis, glomerulis pedunculatis subcorymbosis, invo-

 glabris. 

 Hab. Near Formigas, Province of Minas Geraes. July, 

 1840. 



Frutex ramosus, 6-pedalis. Folia 3 poll, longa, 9 lin. lata* 

 Corolla ignota. Achaenium oblongum, glaberrimum, 10-cos- 

 tatum. Pappus duplex, paleis externis lineari-lanceolatis 

 subserrulatis, intimis elongatis angustis serrulatis vix spirali- 

 ter tortis albidis. 



This and the following species differ somewhat in habit 

 from the rest of the Lychnophora, resembling much more 

 some species of Albertinia, but the nature of their pappus 

 forbids their union with that genus. They evidently hold an 

 intermediate station between the two genera, but have no 

 characters on which to found a distinct one.
