A FLORA OF BRAZIL. 419 
natissimis, achreniis angulatis pilosiusculis, pappi paleis anguste 
lanceolato-linearibus serrulatis. ; 
Has. Serra de Curral del Rey, Province of Minas Gerües. Sept. 
1840. 
Caules plures ex eadem radice, subpedales. Folia 2 poll. longa, 
103-12 lin. lata. Receptaculum planum. Corolle flavæ radii 
ligulate, ligulis oblongis obscure dentatis, disci tubulosæ, 5-den- 
tat». Styli rami exappendieulati. Pappi paleæ 18 circiter, 
achænio duplo longiores. 
Allied to C. oZigocephala, DC., from which it seems to be dis- 
tinguished by its unbranched stem, tomentose leaves, and angular, 
not trigonous, achænia. 
ACHYROCLINE, DC. 
4935. A. rugosa ; caule suffruticoso cinereo-lanuginoso paniculato- 
corymboso, foliis sessilibus oblongo-lanceolatis acuminatis basi 
rotundatis triplinerviis, supra rugosis glabris subtus dense 
cinereo-araneosis, capitulis ad apices ramorum et ramulorum 
fasciculato-corymbosis 5-floris, involucri squamis albidis nitidis 
ovali-oblongis obtusis. 
Has. Dry Campos on the ascent of the Serra da Piedade, Pro- 
vince of Minas Gerües. Sept. 1840. 
Suffrutex bipedalis. Folia 14-2 poll. longa, 6-8 lin. lata. 
Capitula oblonga, 13 lin. longa. 
Near A. flaccida, DC., from all the varieties of which it is dis- 
tinguished by its very broad rugose leaves, rounded, not atten- 
uated, at the base, and the silvery-white involucre, which is 
shorter and not so slender as that of the other. I possess a spe- 
cimen of exactly the same species from Claussen’ s Minas Gerües 
Collections. 
ERECHTITES, Rafin. 
3868 et 5527. E. (Neoceis) sulcata; caule herbaceo erecto ramoso 
sulcato pilosiusculo, foliis sessilibus amplexicaulibus elongatis 
oblongo-lanceolatis acutis grosse argute et meequaliter inciso- 
dentatis aut profunde pinnatifidis utrinque sparse pilosiusculis,
