and aJl coriaceous, rigid, linear, with entire margins. Each 

 segment has 3 faint longitudinal grooves on the upper surface, 

 and 2 conspicuous grooves on the under surface, which latter are 

 somewhat sparsely pubescent ; the midril) prominent on the 

 under surface. The inflorescence is a raceme., the axis of Avhich 

 is 1^-3 inches long, generally there are several racemes 

 arranged in a panicle. Axis and peduncles are hairy, the latter 

 being about one-twelfth inch in length. Flowers small, perianth 

 about ^ inch, the tube being slightly hairy outside, and the 

 limb densely hairy outside, pale yellow in colour and glabrous 

 inside. Limb globular, the segments concave, the tube curved 

 under the limb, the segments cohering for a long time after the 

 tube has opened. Anthers sessile in the concave lo])es of the 

 limb, all 4 perfect and 2-celled, almost globular. Style nearly 

 J inch long, curved, the stigma enclosed in the limb of the 

 perianth and laterally situated. Ovary on a long stalk, glabrous. 

 Torus small, straight, gland fairly conspicuous, horse-shoe 

 shaped. Fruit large, almost spherical, compressed, ^ to ^ inch 

 in diameter, hard and fairly thick-walled, glabrous. Seed 

 single, cordate, with a very distinct wing all round.

It differs from G. leucadendron in having a hairy inflorescence 

 and perianth, and a laterally placed stigma. Pritzel considered 

 it might agree with G. nematoijhylla, of which he had found 

 compound leaved specimens, but the stigma is oblique instead 

 of a cone, and the leaves, pedicels, inflxorescences and flowers 

 all differ from those of G. stenobotrya, F. v. M., and of G. 

 Purdieana. Diels. 



Heliptehum Troedelii, F. v. M. (Compositae). 



In the type form of this species the heads are aggregated in 

 dense cymose clusters at the ends of the branches. A variety 

 with the inflorescence more diffuse, and one or two heads at 

 the end of branch is equally common, and may be termed 

 variety patens, n. var.
