266 Mr. D. Don's Descriptions of new Genera and Species 



dulosa. Anthcrce in tubum pentagonum coalita?, appendi- 

 cular lineari, obtusa terminatae, basi bisetosee : set is longis, 

 basi ramulosis. Stylus filiformis, glaber, basi incrassatus. 

 Stigma bilobum : lobis brevissimis, obtusis, papillosis, par- 

 tial connatis. Achenia compressiuscula, disco parum con- 

 cava, non dilatata, glabra. Pappi radiis copiosis, contiguis,

The appellation of speciosa being so truly inapplicable to this 

 species, I have preferred the unpublished one given to it by 

 Dr. Martius. The plant was imported into this country from 

 some continental nursery, where the name of speciosa no doubt 

 originated.
