FLORA OF BRAZIL, 445 
3-seriatis, intimis linearibus acutis ad apicem ciliatis 
externis ovato-oblongis calloso-acutis striatis, dorso glan- 
duloso-punctatis, achænio basi piloso. 
Han. Arid campos, near the Mission of Duro, Province of 
Goyaz. Oct. 1839. 
Herba perennis, pedalis. Folia pollicem longa, 3-4 lin. lata. 
Capitula 41 lin. longa. Corolla violacea. Pappus albidus. 
Apparently allied to E. dictyophyllum, DC., from which it 
differs in the corymb not being paniculate, and in having 
more than double the number of florets which that species 
is said to have. I possess specimens of a plant nearly 
related to the present from Claussen's Brazilian Collection, 
Which may be characterized as follows :— 
(E. Claussenii; caule herbaceo erecto gracili tereti basi 
striato ad apicem angulato pubescente subsimplici, foliis 
alternis petiolatis late linearibus utrinque attenuatis co- 
riaceis basi trinerviis reticulatis versus apicem subdentatis 
Supra glabris subtus pubescentibus, corymbo terminali 
conferto, capitulis ad apices ramulorum sessilibus glome- 
Tatis 5-floris, involucri squamis 2-seriatis imbricatis 3- 
nérviis, externis apice callosis reflexis dorso puberulis 
intimis acutis, achzenio pilosiusculo. :
