Herb. Krauss, propr. This is perhaps L. parva, Vogel (Lin — 
nea 13, p. 468) which, however, seems to differ * caule 
gracili, foliis acuminatis 3-nerviis, 3 lineas latis," and es- 
pecially * bracteis acuminatis;" whereas our plant has rather- 
strong and stiff branches, broader leaves, (4-5 lin. in breadth, - 
by 6-8 in length) which are rather mucronate than acumi- - 
nate, and even sometimes quite obtuse, and not at all acumi- 
nate bracts. From L. spherica, besides the differences | 
shown in the above diagnose, it will be at once distinguished - 
by its capitulum and flowers, which are only half as large. —

Both forms were gathered promiscuously by Dr. Krauss; 
to the first a. belong Drége’s specimens and De Candolle's 
plant; the latter (8.) looks very much like P. cephalotes, 
E. Mey., which, however, essentially differs in the obtuse
