A tall, simple, subherbaceous plant about 1 m. high. Stem leafy 

 throughout, terete, 6-9 mm. in diameter, ribbed, glabrous. Leaves 

 sessile, 9-26'4 cm. long, 4-5 '2 cm. broad, elliptic, shortly acuminate, 

 obtuse, eared and stem-clasping at the base, dentate, with a prominent 

 midrib and distinct veining beneath, glabrous. Capitula arranged in 

 a dense corymbose manner. Peduncles l-l g o cm. long, slender, terete, 

 glabrous, naked or bearing 1-2 bracts. Bract* 2'5 mm. long, ovate- 

 lanceolate, subacute, concave, 1 -nerved, glabrous. Gapitulum 

 discoid, 4-5-flovvered. Involucral bracts 5, 8 mm. long, 1'5 mm. broad, 

 linear, obtuse, 3-nerved, glabrous, with membranous margins. 

 Corolla-tube 6 mm. long, '5 mm. broad, cylindric below and somewhat- 

 dilated at the base, suddenly expanded into a short campanulate tube 

 above, glabrous ; lobes 4 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, linear, obtuse, 

 glabrous. Stamens inserted on the campamilate portion of the 

 corolla-tube ; filaments T75 mm. long, filiform, swollen at the apex, 

 glabrous ; anthers 3 mm. long, linear, with a narrow ovate-lanceolate 

 gland at the apex. Pappus 7 ram. long, rough. Ovary 3 mm. long, 

 1 mm. broad, oblong in outline, beaked, ribbed, glabrous; style 1 cm. 

 long, exserted in old flowers, terete, glabrous, bulbous at the base ; 

 lobes 1'5 mm. long. 



A very distinct plant, near S, isatldeus, DC., and 8. venosus, Harv. 

 From the former it differs in being leafy throughout and has 

 differently shaped leaves, and the styles are much more exserted. 

 From S. venosus, Harv., it differs in the shape of the leaves and in 

 having only 4-5 flowers in each head. Bolus 10993 was named 

 S. venosus at Kew.

 Pedunculus 13'5-20 cm. longus, unicapitatus. Bract eae involucrae 

 1 cm. lougae, 1-1'5 cm. latae, lineares, apice obtusae, marginatae,
