34° CONSPECTUS TABULARUM. 
multifloris, involucri squamis pauciserialibus margine membranaceo- 
scariosis laceratis, ligulis numerosis albis, disci floribus teretibus 5-den- 
tatis, pappo nullo, acheniis (junioribus) omnibus obovatis compressis 10- 
costatis. 
Has.—Omgati, Natal, W. T. Gerrard, 1026. (Herb. T. C. D.) 
Derscr.—Stems several from the same root, sub-bulbous and woolly 
at base, ascending erect, simple or sub-simple, virgate, glabrous or with 
a few soft hairs, rib-furrowed, 1-2 feet high or more, leafy. Leaves 
alternate, sessile, lanceolate or oblongo-lanceolate, acuminate, sharply 
serrate, glabrous, the uppermost smaller, sub-entire, of thickish sub- 
stance, faintly nerved and veined, 1-14 inch long, 3-4 lines wide. 
Heads terminal, solitary, or 2~3-sub-corymbose, pedicellate. nv. 
scales in 2-3 rows, with very wide, membranous and torn edges, pale, 
purplish in the centre, obtuse. ays numerous, white, oblong, obtuse, 
their tube continuous with the ovary. Dv¢se-flowers shortly 5-toothed, 
terete. Pappus none. Ovaries compressed, obovate, 10-striate. Ripe 
achenes not seen. 
This plant has so much of the habit of Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, 
that I venture to consider it congenerous, although the achenes are as 
yet unknown. It is quite unlike any of the South African species of 
Chrysanthemum in habit, but strikingly resembles Osmites dentata; 
whence the trivialname. Jfr. Gerrard’s specimens are the only ones I 
have yet seen.

_ &. linearis: glaber, foliis linearibus elongatis planis acutis tenu- 
iter uninerviis integerrimis, pedunculis axillaribus foliis subduplo lon- 
gioribus filiformibus, involucri squamis 10-12 fere ad apicem concretis 
acutis, acheniis glabris compressis. 
Han.—Cape, Mundt! Swellendam, Dr. Puppe. (Herb. T. C. D., Hk.) 
Descr.—A small bush, 1-14 ft. high, with erect subcorymbose 
branches ; glabrous in every part. Branches nude and rough with the 
persistent bases of old leaves below, closely leafy above to the very sum- 
mits. Leaves linear, 1-14 inch long, 3-1 line wide, flat, acute, with a 
slender midnerve, quite entire. Peduneles axillary, about twice as long 
as the leaves, filiform, several towards the ends of the branches, Jn. 
cup-shaped, shortly 10-12 toothed, the scales concrete nearly to the 
summit. ays 6-8, spreading, longer than the involucre. Achenes 
glabrous. 
This was first collected by Mundt, many years ago, and has more 
recently been sent, probably from the same locality, by Dr. Pappe, 
whose specimens agree in all respects with those of Mundt. It is nearly
