ILLUSTRATIONS OF INDIAN BOTANY- 



86. Emilia (Cass, a a 6-301, R.W. Icon. 1 123). Cap- 

 itula homogamous, discoid; florets 5-Iobed. Branches of 

 the style ending in a cone, Achaenia oblong, pentago- 

 nal, angles ciliate, hispid. Pappus several series, filiform, 

 scarcely barbellate.— Herbs, with few sub -corymbose, 

 pedicelled capitula. Involucre cylindrical, 1 series, 

 ecalyculate. Flowers reddish, purple, or orange colour- 

 ed. Widely diffused, common all over the Peninsula. 



87. LiGULARiA (Cass. D. C. 6-313). Capitula radiate : 

 ray I series, Iigulate, female, often bi-ligulate, or retain- 

 ing rudiments of the stamens. Branches of the styles 

 of the disk obtuse, clothed with long, descending pubes- 

 cence. Achaenia beakless, sulcated, terete. Pappus 

 uniform, pilose, many series.— Herbaceous plants. Cap- 

 itula large, yellow, arranged in racemes or thyrses, or 

 solitary ; involucre campanulate, 1 series. Receptacle 

 naked. Himalayas. 



88. DoRONicuM (Lm- D. C. 6^0, R. W. Icon 1124 

 to 29-1151). Capitula radiate, heterogamous ; ray florets 

 1 series, hgulate, female, or sterile by abortion : disk 

 hermaphrodite Achsnia beakless, oblong, turbinate, 

 furrowed; of the ray bald, of the disk pappose. Pap-

naked or slightly fimbriliferous. Flowers longer than 

 the involucre, pale yellow or cream coloured. Found 

 all over the Peninsula, from the level of the sea to 

 Dodabella on the Neilgherries. 



92. Madaractis (D. C. 6-439), I exclude this genus 

 as being identical with Doronicum^ and all its species 

 previously described under that name. M. pinatifdais 

 D, Candolianum—M. scabra^ is D. Lessingianutn^M. 

 polT/cephalUy D. AnioUii~M. glabra, D, fVightii The 

 distinctive characters of the two genera are, that in 

 Doronicum the ray florets are /emale, in Madaractis 

 neuter. In the character above given, I have combined 

 them thus: "ray florets 1 series, female, or sterile by 

 abortion.**

 Pappus short, crown-like, the hairs somewhat fimbri-

 style, Achaenia glabrous. Pappus usually double,
