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



culum spinulosum, hujus stirpis optimum characterem con- 



stituens, designare volui. 

 The Onoseris salicifolia of M. Kunth may possibly belong to 

 this genus ; but not having had an opportunity of examining a 

 sample of it, I am unable to determine this point at present. It 

 cannot belong to Onoseris, which has the habit of the Perdicece, 

 and with which tribe the genus must be associated.
