124 FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND. [ Composite. 
fined to the involucral scales of C. incana. The leaves are narrower, less coriaceous, more distinctly petiolate, 1-14 
inch long. Bractee of the scape less numerous, linear-subulate, covered with glandular pubescence, woolly in the 
axils. Involueral scales rather squarrose. Of the var. 8 I have no flowers, and it may belong to a different species : 
the leaves are pale green, larger, 14-2 inches long, not so coriaceous, plane on the surface (not furrowed), elliptical, 
acute and apiculate, with a distinct petiole and smooth furrowed sheaths; bractese broader, silvery below and green 
above. 
9. Celmisia Žieraciifolia, Hook. fil.; foliis oblongo-obovatis obtusis crenatis in petiolum vix angustatis 
planis superne glaberrimis subtus pube (siccitate) fulva arcte appressa vestitis nervis conspicuis, scapo 
bracteato involucrique squamis squarroso-patentibus glanduloso-pubescentibus, capitulis majusculis, ligulis 
anguste linearibus, acheniis elongatis pilosis. Tas. XXXIV. B. 
Has. Middle Island. Nelson, on the mountains, Bidwill. 
I have only one specimen of this pretty species, which Mr. Bidwill remarks is a very small one; it differs con- 
sequently from C. incana and C. discolor in the size of the head, which is nearly 2 inches across, and in the squar- 
rose involucral scales.—Stems solitary. Leaves membranous for the genus, 2-8 inches long, oblong-obovate, blunt, 
crenate or toothed distantly, smooth above, pale green, below covered with dense, closely appressed, buff-coloured 
(when dry), shining wool, through which the veins are seen. Scape stout, with large recurved bractes, covered 
everywhere with glandular pubescence, as are the involucres. -Achenia much longer than in C. incana, hairy. Re- 
ceptacle rather deeply alveolate.—Piate XXXIV. B. Fig. 1, floret of ray; 2, floret of disc; 3, pappus; 4, stamen : 
—all magnified. 
10. Celmisia glandulosa, Hook. fil.; parva, foliis congestis rigidis coriaceis obovatis vix petiolatis re- 
mote argute dentatis acutis in petiolum oe latum angustatis utrinque glanduloso-puberulis (lana albida 
nulla), scapo gracili bracteato involucrique squamis paucis subulatis glanduloso-pubescentibus, capitulis 
parvis, ligulis paucis, receptaculo profunde alveolato fimbrillifero, achenio tereti piloso. 
Haz. Northern Island. Foot of Tongariro, Colenso. 
A remarkably distinct little species, very unlike its congeners at first sight, from wanting any down or white 
woolly pubescence. Root and runners stiff, woody. Leaves $—1 inch long, spreading, hard and coriaceous, obovate, 
sharp, sharply and coarsely toothed, covered with glandular pubescence on both sides, as are the scapes, bracteolee, 
and involueral scales. Scapes 3-5 inches long, rigid, slender. Heads small, 3-1 inch across. Involucral scales 
few, subulate, much shorter than the florets.  Ligule of the ray few, narrow, revolute. Receptacle deeply alveolate, 
with raised chaff-like margins. Achenium rather long, pilose. 
Gen. IV. EURYBIOPSIS, DC. 
Capitulum obeonicum, multiflorum, heterogamum. Involueri squame pauciseriatee, anguste lineares. 
Receptaculum angustum, convexum, profunde alveolatum, nudum. FZ. radii 2, 1-seriales, anguste ligulati : 
disci 8, tubulosi. Pappus sub-2-seriatus; setis scaberulis, ineequilongis. Achenium lineare, compressum, 
sericeum. —Herbe v. fruticuli ramosissimi; ramis apice 1-cephalis; folis parvis, alternis. 
The only New Zealand species forms a small, much-branched herb, a foot or so high, with woody prostrate 
stems, quite unlike Hurybia, Olearia, or Celmisia in habit, but very near them in all characters of the flower, differing, 
however, from all in the compressed (not rounded, cylindrical, or angled) achenium. The receptacle is very narrow, 
much more so than is usual in the above genera, and the flowers of the ray have small, narrow, inconspicuous, 
revolute ligulze, which are hidden amongst the abundant dirty- -white or reddish pappus ; "the latter is double. Whole 
plant covered with a short hispid pubescence, glandular on the peduncles, stems and branches, and involucre. Leaves 
numerous, 4 inch long, broadly wedge-shaped or linear-spathulate, three- to five-lobed at the apex. Branches 6-8 
inches long, leafy, more or less elongated at the apex (but seldom for more than an inch) beyond the leaves, and
