1114. GNAPHALIUM HYPOLEUCUM (D. C.) stem 
erect terete, scabrous below, ramous and tomentose 
above: leaves linear acuminate, somewhat revolute on 
the margin, roughish above, niveo tomentose beneath, 
adnate, semi-amplexicaul at the base, subdecurrent: 
capitula congested on the apices of the branches sub- 
sessile glomerules corymbosely panicled: scales of the 
involucrum yellow, oval oblong obtuse, a little longer 
than the disk.— D. C. I. ር 6. 222. 
Neilgherries about Kotergherry and the lower slopes, 
less frequent towards the highest ranges. Easily dis- 
tinguished by the leaves green above and white beneath 
_ the yellow flowers, Females many series, Hermaph. 
ew. 
1115. GNAPHALIUM MARCESCENS (R. W.) shrub- 
by, somewhat diffuse at the base, branches ascending 
terete, the lower portions clothed with numerous persist- 
ent withered leaves: withered leaves revolute on the 
edges, linear subulate ; green ones narrow lanceo- 
late acute, glabrous above, tomentose beneath ; thinly 
scattered on the floriferous branches not decurrent : 
floriferous branches umbellate at the apex, capitula ag- 
gregated on the apices of the ramuli ; scales of the invo- 
lucrum ovate lanceolate, woolly at the base, nivo-sca- 
riose towards the apex : marginal florets 2 series : styles 
not exserted : achænia obovoid puberulous: pappus 
uniform scabrous. 
Neilgherries.—This species if, to either, belongs to the 
section Axanthina. It might perhaps with about equal 
propriety be referred to either Anaphalis or Gnaphalium 
or to neither. I cannot however identify it with any spe- 
cies of the former genus and, as it is my beliefthe two 
genera are not distinct, I place it here in preference to 
addingit to a genus which I think must ultimately be re- 
duced. I retain that generic name for the following 4 
species, not because I approve ofit as appliedto them, but 
because it has already been given and because I do not 
think this the place to make innovations except on the 
surest ground. I therefore so far adopt D. C 's genus 
though I consider it, as it now stands, untenable. 
1116. ANAPHALIS Noronrana (D. C.) Woolly all 
over: stem fruticulose leafy to the top, leaves sessile 
subdecurrent, broad linear or oblong, obtuse, with the 
thickly woolly margin revolute : corymbs terminal 
compound dense: scales of the involucrum many series, 
imbricated, whitish scariose acute, crisp at the apex, 
at length stellately patulous.—Pappus rough, white, 
involucrum white.—D. C. ረ. c. 6. 273. 
Neilgherries—rather rare. I have given D. C. cha- 
racter as I find it, butremark the diserepancy between the 
involucrum, as correctly shown in the drawing, and the 
character. The plant named by him in my herbarium 
is evidently thé same species but in a much younger 
state, whence perhaps the mistake. The character 
should have been “ rufescenti-scariosis obtusis apice 
suberispis” &c. as shown by the specimen he examined 
and described. 
1117. ANAPHALIS Wienttana (D. C.) stem suffru- 
ticose at the base, erect, leafy to the apex, pilosely 
scabrous at the base, woolly at the apex : leaves sessile 
or subadnate, oblong, linear, obtuse, pilosely scabrous 
above, whitish woolly beneath ; the nerve beneath often 
prominent, rough ; the upper ones callously hooked at 
the point : corymb terminal truly compound, but most 
densely polycephalous: scales of the involucrum ob- 
long, somewhat acute, white, a little longer than the 
disk.—Receptacle naked, female flowers many series, 
exterior; central ones 10—12: pappus 1 series : 
achæneum round, subpuberulous: involucrum white 
flowers yellow.— D. C. l. ር. 6—273. 
Neilgherries common. A somewhat variable plant 
especially as concerns the degree of roughness rigidity 
and size of the leaves, dependent of course on the vary- 
ing fertility and moisture of the soil in which it grows. 
1118. ANAPHALIS? ELLIPTICA (D. C.) every where 
clothed with white tomentum: stem ramous, short, 
frutieutose at the base : leaves elliptic, mucronate, en- 
tire, with the tomentum rubbed off the 5—7 nerves, 
adnate, or shortly decurrent : capitula densely congested, 
forming an ovate terminal corymb, surrounded by leaves : 
scales of the involucrum acute, scariose at the apex, red- 
ish white.— D. C. ያ c. 6-274. ዕ 
Neilgherries not unfrequent, found on the highest 
range, in pastures and by road sides on Dodabetta and 
elsewhere. Itappearsto me that this and A. oblonga are 
different states of the same species. The specimen of A. 
elliptica examined by D. C. was in a very young state, 
that of oblonga more advanced and perhaps more luxu- 
riant. When full blown the glomerulus is not embraced 
by the leaves, but is borne on an elongated leafy stalk, 
the upper leaves much reduced in size and I find on 
the same specimen some leaves in which only one nerve 
can be detected and others with three or more: that 
character is moreover a very difficult one to make out, 
owing to the quantity of tomentum with which in the 
recant state they are usually covered and would appear, 
from the above fact, less valuable when made out than 
ma a priori be supposed, I think they ought to be 
united. 
1119. ANAPHALIS ARISTATA (D. C.) stem ramous, 
suffruticolose at the base, erect; leafy to the apex; 
scabrous at the base tomentose at the apex : leaves long 
linear, aristato—mucronate at the apex, revolute on the 
margin, cordately dilated at the base, shortly decurrent ; 
scabrous above with the midrib subtomentose ; beneath 
whitish tomentose and the midrib scabrous: capitula 
densely congested, forming an ovate compound termi- 
nal corymb: scales of the involucrum obtuse, white 
and rose coloured, glabrous. Flowers within the 
involucrum 15-18, of which 5-6 are hermaphrodite the 
rest exterior about 2 series female : leaves about 2 inches 
long and 2-3-lines broad.— D, C. c. 6 一 274. 
Neilgherries on the Northern slopes near Nedawut- 
tem not unfrequent by the road side; readily distin- 
guished when growing by the deep rose colour of the 
involucra, when seem before quite blown. When 
blown and the seed maturing the tips of the scales 
become pale or nearly white, the base however retains 
its colour. 
1120. CARPESIUM NEPALENSE (Lessing) hirsuto- 
villous : leaves elliptico-lanceolate, acuminate, den- 
tate, attenuated into the petiol : capitule subcernuous, 
campanulate : interior scales of the involucrum suba- 
cute.—Petiols and branches villoso-hirsute, leaves pale 
and more villous beneath : capitula 4 lines broad.— 
D. C. I. 6. 6—281. 
A common plant in all the woods about Ootaca- 
mand. 
1121. Gywura NITIDA (D. C.) glabrous; stems 
thickish terete at the base ; branches elongated, suban- 
gular, nearly naked at the apex: leaves lanceolate, 
attenuated at both ends, short petioled, coarsely serrat- 
ed: corymbs terminal 5—7 cephalous : involucrum 
cylindrical, a little shorter than the flowers, four times 
(10)
