Erect, branched above only, branches ascending, leaves narrow, 

 acute, not overtopping heads, heads 20-40 in cluster, obscurely 

 angled. I. Eare, A'. 



iF. apiculata G. E. Sm. Similar places ; frequent ? 5-6. 

 Upper leaves obtuse, apiculate, heads fewer in clusters, deeply 

 5-angled. Very near last and next, perhaps confounded with 

 either. III. i. Campamento Common ! 



F. spatJmlata Presl. Similar places ; very common ; 5-6. 

 Horizontally bi'anched from base, inflorescence proliferous, leaves 

 broader, obtuse, undulate, heads fewer in clusters, deeply grooved. 



Var. prostrata Wk., prostrate, and var. erecta Wk., erect, grow 

 together. II. D. III. ! 



F. arvensis L. Similar places ; rare ? 5-7. Slender, erect, 

 leaves linear, floral shorter than clusters, phyllaries not embrac- 

 ing achenes. II. K. III. i. Near San Eoque, Brouss. 



F. gallica L. Similar places ; very common ; 5-6. Floral 

 leaves much longer than clusters, phyllaries embracing achenes.

 mento Common! Carteia! Cork Wood Crags, &c. ! ii. Near 

 ElCobre! Palmones Playazo ! Carnero Point ! iii. Guadacorte! 



Evax aster isci flora Pers. Dry sandy soil; rare? 4-6. In- 

 volucrating leaves acute, pales of receptacle cuspidate, anther 

 tails short, dentate. III. ii. Algeciras, Winkl. ! The specimen 

 looks to me more like next. 



E. pygmcea Pers. Similar places ; common ; 4-6. Very like 

 last, but smaller, involucral leaves obtuse, pales acute, anther tails 

 linear, entire. III. i. Eiver bed at Almoraima ! iii. Gardens at 

 Salt Pans ! This or the last grows in many other places, but I did 

 not learn to distinguish them. 



iE. Cavanillesii Eouy. I know nothing of this beyond 

 Debeaux's note in Fl. p. 107. III. ii. Dry sandy hills at Alge-

Senecio Lopezii Boiss. Woods ; locally frequent ; 4-5. A 

 tall handsome species, leaves large, undivided, heads large, 

 corymbose.

 Palma, Bev. 



■''•S. Cineraria DC. is quite naturalised about Europa Glacis and 

 Flats and by Governor's Cottage ! 



S. foliosus Salzm. Damp grassy places, and by watercourses ; 

 frequent? 6-10. Near *S. Jacobcea L., but shorter, and inflores-

 distinguishing it from S. erraticus. I. Catchment below Eock 

 Gun ! A specimen or two below Breakneck Battery ! Above 

 Main Eoad near Alameda (Jf., as S. Jacobcea). II.! Varying in 

 leaf cutting, perhaps both species occur. III. !
