 very strongly ribbed.

The affinity of this is with S. suaveolens DC. although it does 

 not fit into either of 0. Hoffmann's sections. Inter aha the 

 narrow leaves and 4-leaved involucres with differently shaped 

 involucral leaves serve as points of distinction.

 with heads intermediate in size. The foliage clearly marks a 

 chief distinction between these three species. 



Conspecific with this, but differing from it in having an 

 inflorescence of several heads, is a Kenia plant gathered by 

 Dr. Gregory at the terminal moraine of sheet glaciation. This is 

 a robuster plant than Lieut. Orde Browne's and stands twice as
