panulatum, vix 3 lin. longum. Ligule ignotæ. Corolle. disci 
tubulosæ, 5-dentatæ, basi pilose. Styli rami in appendicem 
teretem elongatam hispidam producti. Achenia 2 lin. longa,

I had at first referred this plant to the genus Zsostigma, but now 
find that it is more nearly related to Glossogyne. From the former 
it differs in habit, in the wingless achænia, and scabrous, not 
glabrous, aristæ; while with the latter it agrees in habit, and in 
having wingless achenia, and only departs in the ariste being 
simply scabrous, not retrorsely setose.

From the very short and imperfect characters which are given 
of the species of this curious genus in De Candolle’s Prodromus, 
it is quite possible that the three species which I here consider as
