Senecio in place of Doronicum I am enabled to restore 
Burman's specific name, which ought never to have 
been superseded. The same circumstance, namely, this 
being a Doronicum strengthens the suspicion that the 
two preceding plants, are merely alpine varieties of 
this, the original species. 
1130. Sewecio CORYMBOSUS (Wall—D. C.) stem 
scandant, terete araneose (appearing as if covered with 
cobwebs :) leaves petioled exstipulate, cordately suborbi- 
cular, shortly acuminated, subserrated ; glabrous above 
densely tomentose beneath, 5-7 nerved at the base: 
corymbs axillary and terminal compactly polycephalous: 
involucrum 8-leaved, bracteolate at the base: ligule 
none: achenia glabrous.—Petiols of the leaves 6-12 
lines long, limb about 2 inches in diameter, 10 tubular 
florets — D. C. 1. ር. 6. 364. 
Neilgherries in clumps of jungle climbing to a great 
extent over the adjoining trees. De Candolle asks is 
not this rather a Cacalia ? 
1131. Senecio WALKERI (Arnott) stem scandent 
terete araneose towards the extremities : leaves exstipu- 
late, petioled, cordiform, acute, calloso-dentate, gla- 
brous, above flosculosely araueous : peduncles axillary, 
longer than the leaves ; corymbosely-polycephalous : 
capitula discoid 6-7 flowered : scales of the involucrum 
8 with a few subulate squamellz at the base: ligule 
none achænia glabrous.— D. C. I. ር. 6. 364— Arnott's 
pugillus—very near 3. corymbosus, but seems suffici- 
ently distinct from the difference in nervation, the 
want of tomentum on the under surface of the leaves, 
and fewer florets in the capitula. 
Neilgherries, &c. and in Ceylon elimbing on trees. 
1132. Senecio NeILGHERIANUS (D. C.) stem erect 
suffruticose, roughly striated at the base, leaves linear 
lanceolate acute, hirsutely tomentose beneath, rough 
above, the lower ones attenuated at the base semi-pinna- 
tifid,the middle oues sessile, dentate,the upper auriculate- 
amplexicaul, nearly entire: corymbs few-cephalate, 
pedicels bracteolate at the apex: scales of the involu- 
crum linear, scarcely acute : ligule 12-14 flat : achenia 
glabrous.—Ligulæ 4 nerved, revolute when dry; pappus 
very white.— D. C. I. c. 6. 368. i 
Neilgherries in moist pastures near springs and water 
courses. 
1133. SENECIO LAVANDULAFOLIUS (Wall. D. C.) 
stem erect terete hirsutely striated: leaves crowded, 
oblong linear, entire, revolute on the margin, tomentose 
beneath, hairy or hispid above; the upper ones linear 
distant: racemes corymbose simple: peduncles brac- 
tioled, involucrum nearly glabrous 15 leaved calycu- 
late: flowers about 40, ligule 15, long, spreading, 4 
nerved : achænia glabrous.—D. C. l. ር. 6. 368. ` 
Common in pastures on the hills flowering during the 
cool season. 
1134. SENECIO Canpicans (Wall) climbing, every 
where clothed with white tomentum, branches striated : 
leaves petioled, auricled with reniform stipuli, cordate 
acute serrated, araniose above, afterwards glabrous ; 
beneath niveous : panicle corymbose: bracteæ linear 
subulate : pedicels diverging: involucrum white, cam- 
panulate, sparingly bractioled at the base: ligule 6, 
oblong flat : achænia glabrous.—D. C. l. c. 6. 369. 
Neilgherries, frequent in clumps of jungle climbing 
on the adjoining trees. 
1135. Senecio INTERMEDIUS (R. W.) scandent 
glabrous, leaves petioled glabrous triangular, acuminat- 
ed, unequally crenately-dentate: petiols auricled at the 
base, with a large reniform stipule : panicles corymbose : 
bractea linear subulate : pedicels divaricate : capitulæ 
many flowered : involucrum calyculate : ligule 12-13 
oblong lanceolate obtuse : achenia papilose. 
Neilgherries climbing on trees and bushes near the 
Avalanche Bungalow, flowering February and March 
This species seems quite intermediate between E 
candicans and S. Wightiana but is certainly distinet 
from both. It has the large reniform auricled stipules 
of the former, the glabrous habit of the latter, and differs 
from both in its numerous and large sized ligulæ, 
1136. Senecio Wicurraxus (D. C.) glabrous; 
branches scandent, angularly striated : leaves petioled, 
ovate or elliptic lanceolate, acuminate, serrated : Bast 
obtuse at the base or shortly cuniate; petioles with a 
small auricle at the base : panicle divaricated ; pedicels 
bractiolate at the apex : capitulæ small, 8-10 flowered : 
ligule 3-4 small: achenia puberulous.— D. C. prod. 
6. 370. 
A widely distributed species, like both the preceding 
native of the Neilgherries, but descends to much lower 
levels, the specimen figured was obtained from the 
Malabar jungles. 
1137, 1138. Cirsium ARGYRACANTHUM (D. C.) 
leaves semi-amplexicaul serrately pinnatifid, ciliato- 
spinulose, the lobes ending in strong spines; beneath 
and the stem arachnoideo-villous : capitula paniculato- 
congested: bracteæ many cleft very prickly : scales of 
the involucrum terminating in strong spines.— D.C. 
e. 1. 6. 640. 
Very common on the Neilgherries, about equally 
so onthe Pulney mountains. In moist rich soil it not 
unfrequently attains the height of 6 or 7 feet. It may 
be met with at most seasons in flower, but is in perfec- 
tion in August aud September. Flowers pale purple. 
1139. TRICHOLEPIS PROCUMBENS (R. W.) stem 
short flexicose ramous : branches diffuse procumbent, 
angularly striated, subglabrous : leaves shortly pubes- 
cent or subglabrous, those of the stem Iyrate, of the 
branches sinuately pinnatifid, the lobes spinously mu- 
cronate : involucrum ovate; scales ovate at the base, 
araniose, terminating in a slender prickle-like append- 
age : stamens a little longer than the corolla : stigmas 
exserted, diverging at the apex : achenia smooth, pap- 
pus double, exterior of many series setaceous ; interior 
of 5 lanceolate paleæ, nearly equalling the corolla, 
Bellary in arid stony soils flowering October and 
November.—Coimbatore in similar situations flowering 
January. 
This seems most nearly allied to our T. Candoliana 
a figure and description of which is published in the 
Companion to the Botanical Magazine vol. 1 P. 81. it 
seems however abundantly distinct. 
The double pappus seems to associate this with 
Microlonchus but the homogamous not heterogamous 
capitula keeps them distinct. 
1140. Dicoma LANUGINOSA (D. C.) erect, very ra- 
mous, wooly: involucrum ovate, scales exteriorly 
subglabrous: palee of the pappus serrated, scarcely 
twice the length of the very hairy fruit.— D. C.L. c. 
7. 36. 
Found in light gravelly soils flowering during the 
rainy and cool seasons rather common about Coimba- 
tore. ing
