 circa 20 cm. long. Bracteie inf. 3-6 X 2-3 cm., summae gradatim 

 usque ad vel ultra 5 mm. reductse. Pedunculi proj^rii plerique 1"5- 

 3 cm. long. Capitula pansa 10x14 mm. Involucra 8 mm. long. 

 LiguUu late oMongae, apice 3-dentata3, 12'o mm. long. Disci corollse 

 infundibulares, 7 mm. long. Genitalia lirevissime exserta. •^tyli 

 rami 1 mm. long. Achtenia 2"5 mm., pap])us 6 mm. long. 



The chief points about this tine plant are the large, broadly stem- 

 clasping cauhne leaves together Avith the araneose clothing at the 

 base of both kmds of leaves and the largish flowering heads. It 

 would appear to be nearest the Abyssinian S. si/bsessilia O. & H.

Folia longit. interdum 1 cm. aeqnantia \el paullo excedentia,

 Pedunculi 4-6 cm. long. ; horum bractese subulatse, + 2 mm. long.

On a cursory view^ this might be supposed a short-leaA^ed form of 

 Kleinia rod i cans DC; the radiate heads and truncate ]:enicillate 

 style-arms remove it from Kleinia.
