206 Mr. D. Don's Descriptions of new Genera and Species 



loratd, cartilaginei terminatae, basi bisetae : setis longissimis, 

 linearibus, complanatis, filamentoso-aristatis. Stylus inclu- 

 sus. Stigma bipartitum : segmentis linearibus, truncatis, 

 recurvis, apice papillosis. Achenia ancipiti-compressa, ad- 

 pressfe sericeo-villosissima. Pappus pilosus, inaequalis, cre- 

 berrimfe denticulatus, fusco-cinereus. 



Near akin to Clarionia lactucoides, the Perdicium lactucoides 

 of Vahl {Act. Havn. 1. pars 2. p. 11. t.5.), which however is 

 readily distinguished by having the radical leaves on long foot- 

 stalks, lanceolate, and obtuse. In other respects both plants are 

 much alike. 



2. C. recurvata, foliis recurvatis linearibus rugosis margine revo- 

 lutis spinuloso-denticulatis. 

 Perdicium recurvatum. Vahl. I.e. 1. p. 13. t. 7- (bona.)
