Pxiltetiaea dentata, Labill. 



A widespread species, with narrow-lanceolate concave leaves, 

 and imbricate bracts, covering the dense heads in bud. The species- 

 is easily determined by its bracteoles, which are ovate or oblontr. 

 bifid, with a central subulate lobe, giving the summit a dentate- 

 appearance.

Piilftnaeo. suhiimhcllata , HK. 



A specie.s Avith heads more capitate than subund>ellate, and flat, 

 or slightly concave leaves, and a small hairy calyx, with hairy 

 bracteoles well under the calyx. This last character, along with the-
