MossAMEDES.—Habit and pappus suggestive of Berkheya but the 
involucral scales connate nearly to the middle after the manner of 
Meridiana. In maritime thickets to the south of Villa de Mossamedes,

Huituta.—Flowers yellow. In pastures on a sandy clay soil, near 
Lopollo ; fl. Dec, 1859. No. 3709. This No. is quoted by O. Hoff-

enable satisfactory identification; so far as I can judge from the 
specimens they much resemble a Gorteria, especially G. diffusa Thunb.
