attentive consideration of the subject, and a comparison of 
it with the two new species above described, has convinced 
me that, however different in habit from the herbaceous 
Stilpnopappi, their characters otherwise are not different. 
Mr. Bentham has suggested (Hook. Journ. 5, p. 214) that 
the genus Strophopappus of De Candolle, which, according to 
Martius, was founded on the same plant as Lessing’s Vernonia 
speciosa, now Stilpnopappus patulus of Martius, should be 
 Testored for that species and my present ones, but I have 
looked in vain for characters on which to re-establish that 
genus,
