Although very similar to G. sanguinea, this is easily distin- 

 guished from it by the smooth and triquetrous leaves and the 

 inflorescence. The receptacle is convex, about 6 lines in dia- 

 meter and somewhat crenate on the margin, thus showing a 

 tendency to divide into several short peduncles, and to form a 

 compound capitule, as in the preceding species. The bracteaB are 

 of a greenish colour, 5-6 lines long and 2-3 lines broad at the 

 base. The style is half an inch long.
