this family, and this in so large a quantity as to allow of their being cultivated for the 
oil they yield, as the sun-flower; the Ramiilla oleifera, in Bengal, and Carthamus 
tinctorius in every part of India; this last, however, is also cultivated on account of its 
flowers, which are well-known in commerce under the name of Bastard Saffron. 
Specimens of most of the Plants of this family in the Author's Herbarium having been sent to Pro- 
fessor De Candolle, that celebrated Botanist had the kindness to name the greater portion, and favour the 
author with a letter referring by numbers to those which had been retained. The Plants referred to and 
figured in this work have been named in conformity to this list, with the exception of those to which the 
Professor's initials have not been attached. "The generic and specific characters will be published in the 
5th volume of his justly celebrated Prodromus. ,

‘an extended ciliate base; ¢. a floret ; d. the same, with the corolla removed, and the quadrangular ache- 
nium separated. 
_ Hab. This plant has been formed into a new genus by M. De Candolle, i in consequence of differing 
from: Saussurea, to which it is most nearly allied in its pappus. It is used by the inhabitants of the hills 
as a kind of incense in their religious ceremonies, and is by them called googlan ; hence Sausswrea (Goog- 
lana MS.S.) religiosa nob. It is found on Kedarkanta, Peerpunjal, and at Lippa in anata It

Hab. Owing to some mistake in the numbering I was unable to find this plant named in the letter 
with which I was favoured by Professor De Candolle. Mr. Don referred it to the genus Chaptalia, and 
it certainly bears great resemblance to C. tomentosa. It is, I believe, Onoseris lanuginosa. Wall. Cat.
