founded the genus Psychrophyton for the reception of the species formerly 
included in Imbricaria. The genus is mainly characterized by the pappus- 
hairs, which are few in number, rigid, strongly compressed, thickened upwards, 
and furnished with clavate papille. In Raoulia, as now limited, the pappus- 
hairs are very numerous, thin, soft, and very slender. If M. Beauverd’s 
conclusions are accepted, and they appear to be just and reasonable, then 
our plant will bear the name of Psychrophyton eximiwm (Hook. f.) Beauverd. 
Uniortunately, M. Beauverd’s memoir did not reach me before this plate had 
been printed, otherwise I should have used his name.
