1. Celmisia vernicosa, Hook. fil. ; acaulis, subsurculosa, foliis raclicalibus nurnerosissimis stel-

 styli florum disci ramis acutis. (Tab. XXVI. & XXVII.) 



Hab. Lord Auckland's group ; on banks and rocky places near the tops of the hills, alt. 1200 

 feet, and near the sea on the exposed islets. Campbell's Island ; abundant in the immediate neigh- 

 bourhood of the sea.

 rigide setoso e reliquiis foliorum emortuorum, et non raro surculoso ; surculis (an scapis abortivis ?) ramos simu- 

 lantibus simplicibus 2 uncias ad spithama?um longis fibrosis foliis superioribus majoribus. Folia radicalia, nume- 

 rosissima, lwte viridia, imbricata, plerumque horizontaliter et stellatim patentia, unciam ad 3-4 uncias longa, 

 1-3 lineas lata, linearia, seulineari-subulata, coriacea, rigida, mucronato-acuta, integerrima v. remote et obscure 

 serrata, glaberrima, nitida, quasi vernicosa, margine revoluta, basi dilatata membranacea, superne ad costam 

 linea depressa, subtus costa latissima prominente. Scapi radicales, 1-10-13, adscendentes, demum erecti, spitha- 

 msei fere ad pedalem, foliosi, foliis (v. bracteis foliaceis) approximatis lineari-lanceolatis acutis basi vagiuantibus 

 subsucculentis apicibus rigidis vernicosis. Capitulum solitarium, erectum, majusculum, unciam ad sesqui-unciam 

 latum, radiatum, roseo-album, disco intense purpureo. Involucrum plano-hemisphsericum, e squamis s. foliolis 

 biserialibus linearibus obtusiusculis coriaceo-membranaceis rigidis nitidis linea dors,ali notatis, marginibus sub- 

 ciliatis viridibus apice purpureis, 4—5 lineas longis. Flores radii sub-20, fceminei ; ligula lineari- oblonga, 

 4-nervis, revoluta, apice obscure 2-3-dentata, tubo brevi hirsuto, pilis articulatis. Styli rami lineares, brevius-

 subpaleaceis pilosis uniserialibus. Flores disci numerosi, compacti, hermaphroditi. Achcenium et pappus ut in 

 floribus radii. Corolla tubulosa, infundibuliformis, superne ventricosa, teres, 5-fida, segmentis apice reflexis, 

 tubo hirto, pilis ut in floribus radii. Antherce 5, in tubum connata?, lineari-oblonga 1 , flava?, basi breviter bisetosa?, 

 inclusa?. Styli rami exserti, breviusculi, purpurei, dilatati, compressi, piano- convexi, acuti, ad apicem dorso 

 margimbusque glanduloso-stigmatosi, intus nudi. Receptaculum parvum, nudum, cenvexum, depresso-punc-

This is a very handsome plant, to which even the beautiful drawing now prepared for publication hardly 

 does justice, one of the specimens gathered on Campbell's Island measuring nearly a span across the leaves.
