lorata, cartilaginea terminatae, basi bisetae : se^'slongissimis, 

 linearibus, complanatis, filamentoso-aristatis. Stylus inclu- 

 sus. Stigma bipartitum : segmentis linearibus, truncatis, 

 recurvis, apice papillosis. Achenia ancipiti-compressa, ad- 

 presse sericeo-villosissima. Pappus pilosus, inaequalis, cre- 

 berrime denticulatus, fusco-cinereus. 



Near akin to Clarionia lactucoides, the Perdicium lactucoides 

 of Vahl (Act. Havn. 1. pars 2. p. 11. t. 5.), which however is 

 readily distinguished by having the radical leaves on long foot- 

 stalks, lanceolate, and obtuse. In other respects both plants are 

 much alike. 



2. C. recurvata, foliis reciirvatis linearibus rugosis margine revo- 

 lutis spinuloso-denticulatis. 

 Perdicium recurvatum. Vahl. I.e. 1. p. 13. t. 7. (bona.)
