226 SOUTH-WEST AUSTRALIAN COMPOSITA. 
A. Drummondii. 
Swan River, Drummond.—Plant two or three lines high, or the 
radical leaves longer, often proliferous with one or two runners which 
are an inch long. Leaves glabrate, minutely hairy and glandular, 
` those under the head opposite, with their dilated bases subconnate, 
those of the flagelliform branches alternate. Head very woolly, the 
remarkable persistent recurved corollas much exserted from its summit, 
There is no articulation between this tube of the corolla and the beak 
of the singular corniform achenium! The anthers are sagittate, with 
their lobes barely apiculate, but not caudate. The style has rather 
the character of the Asteroidee, to which perhaps this genus and the 
preceding should be referred. .
