Composite. | FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND. 125 
bearing solitary, erect, obconical heads, about as long as the leaves. Imvolueral scales in about two series, very 
narrow, linear, unequal, herbaceous, margin scarious. Ray florets in one series, white, tipped with pink. Achenia, 
when ripe, nearly as long as the involucral scales, linear, compressed, hairy.— The few other known species of this genus 
are confined to Australia and Tasmania. (Name from its resemblance in botanical characters to the genus Zurybia.)

Gen. V. LAGENOPHORA, Cass. 
Capitulum multiflorum, heterogamum. Receptaculum planum, nudum. Imvolueri squamse disco sub- 
eeguales, lineares, appresse, sub-2-seriatee, acute. FÜ. radii 2 , ligulati, l-seriati: disci tubulosi, 8 v. d. 
Achenia radii plano-compressa, oblonga, epapposa, rostrata: disci abortiva.—Herbe graciles, sca- 
pigea. 
Small, daisy-like herbs, with spreading, smooth or hairy root-leaves, and slender scapes bearing small heads of 
yellow flowers, with a white or purple revolute ray. nvolucre of two series of narrow, linear, appressed scales. 
Receptacle rather broad for the size of the capitulum, naked. Floreis of the ray in one series, numerous, with 
narrow revolute ligule, female, with compressed, oblong achenia, ending in a short beak and without pappus ; 
florets of the dise tubular, five-toothed, male or hermaphrodite, with usually abortive achenia. —A small genus, con- 
taining a few species in extra-tropical and Antarctic America, the Falkland Islands, New Holland, Tasmania, and 
New Zealand. (Name from Aaynvos, a flagon, and pepo, to bear ; in allusion to the form of the achenia.)

Has. Throughout the Islands, abundant, Banks and Solander, etc. 
Stems very short, or elongated, arising from slender thread-like runners. Leaves eight to twelve, all radical, 
spreading. Petioles 3-3 inches long, quite smooth or ciliated; lades broadly oblong or rounded, obtusely and 
coarsely toothed, sometimes pinnatifid at the base, quite smooth or covered with scattered hairs, 4-1 inch long, 
rather coriaceous. Scapes solitary, slender, erect, channelled, quite naked or with one or two subulate bracts, 2-6 
inches long, perfectly smooth, or downy towards the summits. Heads variable in size, 4—4 inch across, with a con- 
spicuous ray of revolute broad ray-florets, which have smooth achenia. Scales of the involucre linear, blunt and 
sharp; margins toothed and ciliated irregularly.— Very closely allied to the Magellanic Z. Commersonii, but the 
whole plant is larger, the ray much more conspicuous, and achenia smooth. The large ray-florets also dis- 
tinguish it from the following.
