428 POLYGAMIA SUPERFLUA, Conyza. 
It differs from dacera, in having all the leaves laciniate and 
from terebinthinacea in the inflorescence and flowers. In this 
the panicle is expanded, and oval, and the flowers conical, 
in that corymbiform, and the flowers ovate. 
5. C. lacera. Burin. Ind, 180. t. 59. f. 1. 
Annual, erect. Leaves oval, sharp-toothed, downy. Flow- 
ers sub-umbelled. 
Beny. Bura kooksoong. 
Is a large ramous annual species, a native of dry pasture 
ground near hedges, Flowering during the cold season. 
Stem erect, branchy, particularly near the ground, Leaves 
the lower, or rather the principal leaves of the stem are peti- 
oled, lyred ; the superior ones simply oval, and many times 
smaller ; all are sharp-toothed, pale green, downy, various in 
size. Umbellets terminal, and from the exterior axills pedun- 
cled. Flowers a dull yellow. 
The whole plant has a pretty strong smell of turpentine. 
6, C. aurita. Willd, iii. 1929. 
Annual, erect, ramous, covered with glutinous down. 
Leaves oblong, somewhat lyred, finely-toothed, downy. Pe- 
duncles terminal, bracted, one-flowered. 
This species is also annual, a native of the same places with 
the formef, flowering in the same season. bes 
‘Siem erect, about two feethigh, very ramous, round, cover- 
ed with glutinous down. Leaves, the inferior ones large, 
petioled, oval, slightly lyred ; the superior ones small, linear, 
sessile, runcinate ; all are finely-toothletted, and covered 
with very soft, somewhat glutinous down; size very various. 
Peduncles terminal, bracted, downy, erect, one-flowered, the 
whole forming something like a large flattened panicle. 
This species smells still stronger of turpentine than the 
last described, at the same time the smell is far from being: 
disagreeable. These two promise to contain active principles, 
yet I cannot learn that they have ever bomenphege forany 
use. Cattle never taste either of them.
