linear-oblong, obtuse, lower ^ thin and membranous, upper § densely 

 covered with white felted tomentum. The heads are sunk among the 

 uppermost leaves, and are about -i in. diameter. It matches the description 

 of G. nitidulum, except in the size of the heads, which are given as \ in. 

 hroad, on very short slender peduncles. But in the allied G. Traversii 

 the involucral scales spread after the fall of the florets, making the heads 

 in that state look very much larger than they do in flower, at which time 

 the scales are erect. Hooker's specimens of G. nitidulum were evidently 

 past flower, for he says ' florets not seen." I think it is very likely to prove 

 to be G. nitidulum ; but specimens should be sent to Kew for comparison 

 with the type." 



I have sent specimens to Kew.* and deposited a fragment in the Canter- 

 bury Museum.
