CopoNocEPHALUM PEACOCKIANUM, Aitch. et Hemsl.,n. sp. (Plates XXXI. & XXXII.) 
Herba robusta, ramosa, 5 ped. alta, grandifolia, fere omnino glabra. Folia crassius- 
cula, prominenter laxe retieulato-venosa, primum subtus precipue secus costam 
сгаззат puberula, oblongo-ovalia, obtusissima, sinuata, ceterum integra; radicalia 
petiolata; caulina sessilia, amplexicaulia, basi auriculata, auriculis rotundatis. 
Capitula 4—1 poll. longa, laxissime corymbosa, alia sessilia alia pedunculata; invo- 
lucri bracteze pluriseriate, rigide, acutissime, ciliolatæ, exteriores breviores ; recep- 
taculum areolatum, fimbrilligerum. Achenia (matura non visa) puberula, striata; 
pappus breviter pilosus. | 
Khorasan: 646, June 16, 17, 1885; July 19, 1885. Native name Landar. А very 
characteristic herb of the country, covering immense tracts in the Badghis and 
Khorasan at an altitude of 3000 feet; the large perennial root-stocks throw up 
great stout annual shoots five feet in height, covered with leaves, some of which are 
fully two feet long ; they form a dense close cover unmixed with any other plants, in a 
rich soil where water is not far from the surface. "This herbage is greedily eaten by goats 
and sheep, so much so that I had some difficulty in getting flowering and fruiting 
specimens. 
Easily distinguished from C. inuloides, the only other species, by its sessile cauline 
leaves, and loosely corymbose inflorescence. Moreover, the pappus is not so distinctly 
plumose.
