The larger hairy and more acute leaves by which i/. dasi^phylhis was distinguished 



maj- be sometimes found on tlie same specimen as the smaller obtuse glabrous ones of U. 



copitatus. The species has the foliage and inflorescence off. siibnivbellata, differing in the 



large very hairy flower-heads, and especially in the calyx, which is that of some species of 

 tie section &c/a7?/j.

 'Soc. ix. 245. A tall shrub with erect virgate terete branches, usually gla- 

 l^rous, but the surface almost concealed by the crowded leaves and appressed 

 stipules. ^ Leaves linear, acute, ^vith a short fine but scarcely puugent. point, 

 1 to 11 in. long, flat above, with slightly prominent margins, usually da^er- 

 coloured underneath with a scarcely ^prominent midrib, ciliate with a few Inng 

 hairs, but other\vise glabrous. Stipules narrow, often above 3 lines long. 

 Flowers numerous in dense heads, sessile within the last leaves. Bi-acts im- 

 bncate, but not numerous, narrow, bifid, acuminate. Bracteoles inserted on 

 [he calyx-tube and as long as its lobes, linear, ciliate. Cnlyx fully 4 lines
