Gratwickia. 

 Headlets many-flowered, raj^less, almost hemispheiic. Involueral bracts 

 in some few rows, lanceolar, scarious ; the outer sessile, tlie inner .stipitate, 

 all ver}' ciliolate. Receptaele without any braets between the flowers, 

 depressfd, glabrous. Flowers uniform, the outermof't devoid of stHmens. 

 Corolla-tube slender, particulavly dovvnward; limb 4 — 5 denticulate. 

 Anthers sagittate at the base. «Stigmas truncate. Achenes thinly cylindiic, 

 smooth. Pappus consistiug of a single plnmous brisilet. A small eiect 

 aniiuai lanuginous herb of graphaloid aspect, with narrow lanceolar 

 flaccid leaves and with small terminal, almost sessile, headlets, few in 

 uumber. 



Gratwickia monochaeta. 



Near Strangway's Spring, growing together with Aristids. arenaria, 

 W. H. G r .-i t w i c k , Esq. 



The only specimens seen, 2 and 4 iuches high, unbranched. Leaves 



attaining a leugth of 1 inch ; the lowest crowded, the others scattered. 



Headlets of flowers, ^ji to ^/s irich broad. Involacre almost completely 



concealing the flowers — yellow — appearing pilose all over from the 



long and extremely fine cilolatiou of the constituting bracts. Pappus 



about as long as the coroUa, bioader upwards, narrower downwards, 



denuded near the base. This would be an Heliptirum, if the pappus was 



not reduced to one bristlet, as in some Änqiantheae. The stature of the 



plant so far as hitherto known, is that of the dwarfest forms of 



Gnaphalium luteo-album and of Helichrysum apiculatum. öome structural 



approach to PteryfjopaiJpus and Stuariina is also perceptible, but the 



habits of the three are totally different.
