118 FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND. [ Composite. 
broadly elliptical to narrow oblong, sharp or acuminate, seldom blunt, margin unequally cut into broad, rounded or 
sharp teeth. Corymb very large, much branched. Involueres short and small, their scales all short and blunt. 
Flowers very much as in Æ. nitida ; but the pappus is often red, and the achenia are quite smooth.—Best distin- 
guished by its smooth achenia, and the loosely appressed wool of the under surface of the leaves, ete. I have sup- 
pressed the trivial name “ Rani,” given by Cunningham under the erroneous impression that it was the native one.

A small tree, smelling strongly of musk, like the former species in habit, most easily recognized by the sharp 
toothing of the leaves, which are white and shining below ; and by the hairy achenia. Leaves 3—5 inches long, variable 
in breadth, oblong in var. a, linear-oblong, sometimes four times as long as broad in var. 8, in which the veins under- 
neath spread so as to form a right angle with the midrib; under surface covered with a very closely appressed 
white down, hence looking silvered ; margins waved, much cut into large teeth, sometimes almost spinous, like 
holly. Branchlets and corymb covered with appressed brownish tomentum. Peduncles sometimes bearing small 
leaves 2 inch long. Jnvolucres + inch long, of ten to fifteen tomentose linear blunt scales, very unegual in size. 
Flowers of the ray ten to twelve, about as long as the involucre. Achenia furrowed and hairy. Pappus whitish 
or red. 
5. Eurybia albida, Hook. fil.; arborea, ramis ramulisque sulcatis incano-tomentosis, foliis sublonge 
petiolatis oblongis ovato-oblongisve obtusis undulatis integerrimis coriaceis junioribus superne furfuraceis

flosculis 8-10, pappo albido, acheniis pubescentibus. 
Has. Northern Island. Auckland, Sinclair. East coast, Colenso. 
A small tree, very like E. furfuracea, distinguished from it by its oblong, longer, narrower leaves, which are never 
toothed ; and by the imbricated involucral scales. Branches furrowed, hoary and downy. Leaves on petioles 4-2 inch 
long, oblong, linear, or ovate-oblong, blunt, undulate, quite entire, 3 inches long, upper surface powdered with 
white meal in a young state; when old, smooth, reticulated, under surface quite white with dense closely appressed 
down, veins conspicuous. Panicles large, branched ; branches furrowed, quite white. nvolucral scales small, 
closely imbrieated. Achenia downy. 
$ b. Shrubs, with small broad or narrow leaves, less than 1 inch long. Capitula nearly sessile or shortly peduncu- 
late, axillary or terminal, with sia to ten florets. 
6. Eurybia nummularifolia, Hook. fil. ; frutex erectus, rigidus, fasciculatim ramosus, ramis validis lignosis 
foliosis ramulis foliis junioribus involucrisque glutinosis, foliis subimbricatis crassis coriaceisque parvis breve
