CI. 10.] CINAROCEPHAL.i:, CORVMBIFERvE. 121 



Ord. 54. Cinarocephala:, fig. 61-65. "Florets 

 all flosculous, sometimes all perfect; sometimes 

 partly neuter, fig. 64, or partly fertile, mixed with the 

 perfect ones. Common Calyx of many rows of im- 

 bricated scales, either spinous or unarmed. Common 

 Receptacle hairy, fig. 62, or more usually scaly. 

 Neuter Florets, fig. 64, often irregular ; the rest, fig,

 either altogether flosculous, or radiated, fig. 66; the 

 Florets of the Disk, in the latter case,being flosculous, 

 fig. 68, those of the Margin ligulate, fig. 67. The 

 flosculous ones are either all perfect, or the marginal 

 ones are fertile or neuter ; more rarely the central ones 

 have Stamens only, the marginal ones only Pistils. 

 The radiant Flowers never consist entirely of united
