151. L. GRACILIS, Hook.Jil.; caule tenui ascendente scabriusculo parc^ vagfe 

 ramoso, foliis sparsis linearibus acuminatis hispidulis pilosisque subttis 

 vix glandulosis basi longe ciliatis, pappo florum radii bisetoso. 



Hab. Albemarle Island, Mr. Macrae. 



Radix annua. Caules basi prostrati, spithamaei, teretes, crassitie pennae passerinae, brunnei, 

 pills brevibus hispiduli. Folia sparsa, ^-uncialia, vix f lin. lata, sessilia, subrecurva, 

 basi paulo dilatata, supra medio sulcata, pilis albidis hispidula, marginibus recurvis, basi 

 utrinque longe setoso-ciliatis. Pedunculi terminales, solitarii, gracillimi, sub 1 unc. 

 longi. Capitula \-^ unc. longa, subcylindracea. Involucri squamae lineares, dorso pilo- 

 siusculae. Pappus fl. radii scabridus, corolla ^ brevior; disci flavidus, setis inaequi- 

 longis. 



This may readily be distinguished by the hispid leaves, which are broader 

 and shorter than those of any of the other species and hardly punctate, and 

 by the bisetose pappus of the ray.

 fastigiatim ramosis puberulis, foliis subsquarrosis glaberrimis subfasci-

 glandulis biserialibus marginibus basi long^ ciliatis, pedunculis brevi- 

 bus, achaeniis puberuhs radii epapposis disci setis inaequaUbus.

 orbicularibus, marginibus vix recurvis. Pedunculi in ramis brevissimis lateralibus termi-
