 dite, 5-tootlied, sometimes heterogamous ; marginal 

 florets often very few, 1 series, female. Achsnia 

 beakless, sessile, with a terminal areola. Pappus 1 

 series, seta roughish not plumose.— Herbs or slirubs 

 with alternate leaves. Involucre imbricated, scales 

 scariose, interior ones connivent or radiant Recepta- 

 cle flat, epaleaceous, naked, areolate, or fimbriliferous.

 purple. NeUgherries, Ceylon, Cochin China. 



78. GNArriALiuM (Don. D. C. 6-221, R. W. Icon. 

 1114-15|. Capitula heterogamous; florets all tubular, 

 marginal ones manv series, ff^malp. ? disk ones her- 



many series, female; 

 _ Achaenia somewhat terete, sub-pappiilose. 



Pappus 1 series, scarcely rough.— Herbaceous or suffru- 



maphrodite. 



ticose, generally woolly or tomentose plants. Capitula 

 often disposed m glomerules, terminal or axillary, fasci- 

 cled, corymbose, or spicate. Involucra white, red, pur-

 Himalayas to Ceylon. 



79. FiLAGo (Toum. D. C. 6-247). Capitula heteroga- 

 mous : marginal florets numerous, on an elongated, fili- 

 form receptacle, the apex only dilated and bearing a

 papillose. Pappus of the central ones setose, filiform, 

 of the margin wanting or dissimilar.— Tomentose herbs. 

 Capitula axillary or aggregated on the ends of the 

 branches, small. [There is a discrepancy between this 

 eneric character and that of F. proslrata, the central 

 oretB of that species being without pappus, the mar- 

 ginal ones having it: neither do I find pale« on the 

 receptacle of that species.] ' " 

 also extends to the plains.

 series, setas of the female flowers filiform, of the male 

 clavate. — Herbaceous or suflruticose. Capitula corym- 

 bose. Involucre imbricated, variously coloured at the
