10 DESCRIPTIONS OF FOUR NEW GENERA OF PLANTS 
crenato-denticulata, supra pilosa, subtus lanato-tomentosa, 
radicalia et inferiora pedalia et ultra. Panicula laxa 
multiflora, foliosa, ramis dichotomis tomentosis. Capitula 
multi-(60-70)-flora, homogama, 16 lin. lata. wolu- 
crum laxe imbricatum, squamis pluriserialibus, foliaceis, 
dense pilosis, margine ciliatis, apice subdenticulatis, exte- 
rioribus ovato-oblongis, acutis, interioribus lineari-oblongis, 
acuminatis. Receptaculum alveolatum "piloso-fibrilliferum. 
Flores omnes hermaphroditi. Corolla aurantiaca, extus pi- 
losiuscula, 8 lin. longa, bilabiata, labio exteriore ligule- 
formi 3-dentato, interiore bipartito, lobis revolutis lineari- 
bus. Filamenta complanata, glabra. Anthere concrete 
lineares, basi bisetose, apice appendice lineari-lanceolata 
anthera vix duplo breviore terminate. Stylus teres, gla- 
bers, basi bulbosus; rami breves, divaricati, lineari-com- 
pressi, truncati, hispiduli. Achenium teretiusculum, im- 
maturum 2 lin. circiter longum, ovato-oblongum, brevi- 
rostratum, apice in disco magno dilatatum, glanduloso-pi- 
losym; pili glanduliferi breves, cæteris longioribus. Pappus 
 pluriserial rufus, setis deciduis filiformibus scabers. 
This genus holds an intermediate station between Trivis 
and Chabrea, differing from the latter in having an involucre 
of several series, a deeply alveolate and pilose receptacle, and a 
pappus of more than one series; and from the former in its 
having a many-flowered capitulum, and a foliaceous involucre 
of several series. I have selected it to commemorate among 
Botanists the name of my deeply lamented, kind, and excel- 
lent friend, the late J. E. Bowman Esq. of Manchester, not less 
known by his botanical than by his geological labours and 
attainments. A figure of it has been prepared, which will 
appear in an early part of Hooker's Icones Plantarum*.
