no. 6342), and named by him, from description, " Berkhopsis Kuntzii 

 0. Hoffm.," which is described, however, as having longer and 

 narrower leaves glandular-pilose below, larger heads and a different 

 pappus.

Videtur stirps vix spithamea. Folia 2-5-3 cm. long., 5-8 mm. 

 lat. ; petioli 3-6 mm. long. Pedunculi sub floribus pansis 3 cm. 

 long, vel paullulum ultra, sparsim subfulvo-pubescentes. Bracteolae 

 15-16 mm. long., 4*5 mm. lat. Calyx totus 2-5 mm. long., hujus 

 dentes fere 2 mm. long., microscopice puberuli margineque 

 ciliolati. Corollae tubus paullulum (4-5 mm.) supra basin pulvina 

 circulari instructus, 24 mm. long., basi 3*5 mm. lat., cito ad 

 4-5 mm. dilatatus, juxta medium 6 mm. ore 5*5 mm. lat. Fila- 

 menta compressa, breviores 5'5 mm., longiores 7 mm. long. ; 

 antheras apice obtusae, loculi (calcare incluso) 5-5'5 mm. long. 

 Ovarium vix 2 mm., stylus 14 mm. long. ; stigmatis labium sup. 

 2-5 mm., labium inf. 1*8 mm. long. 



The place of this is evidently close to T. proxima De Wild., to 

 which, on the strength of the excellent figure in the Flore du 

 Katanga (pi. xxxiv.), 1 was at first inclined to refer it. The chief 

 differences lie in the smaller bracteoles of T. subfulva, its broader- 

 tubed corolla exserted far beyond the bracteoles, and the hairy 

 annulus nearer the base of the corolla. 



M. De Wildeman describes the leaves of T.proxima as "hastees 

 ou simplement cordees a la base " ; but the drawing shows them 

 exactly like those of T. subfulva.
