Has. Northern Island; from the Thames river, northward. East coast, Banks and Solander. . 
A small tree, 6-10 feet high, everywhere perfectly smooth, with brittle, naked branches, leafy at the tops, and 
bearing corymbs of large pale yellow heads of flowers, with spreading or reflexed ligule. Young branches scarred. 
Leaves black when dry, 2-5 inches long, on short, slender petioles, very variable in shape, lanceolate or obovate- 
oblong, quite entire or bluntly sinuate. Corymbs 6-8 inches across, branches and peduncles spreading, leafy at the 
axils. Znvolucral scales inch long, rather broad, blunt. Ligue nearly an inch long, pale straw-coloured. -Achenia 
quite smooth, linear obconic, dilated at the top, striated. Pappus rather scanty; seta scabrid, rigid, dirty white. — 
This fine plant has nothing of the habit of any other New Zealand species of Senecio, but yet wants characters 
which will exclude it from the genus. In many respects, especially of habit and the rigid pappus, it agrees with 
Brachyglottis, but the long ligule are quite foreign to the description of that genus, which is otherwise not dis- 
tinguishable from Senecio; on the whole, it is more closely allied to S. perdicioides than to any other New Zealand 
plant. —PLATE XXXIX. Fig. 1, involucre and receptacle; 2, ray floret; 3, disc floret; 4, pappus; 5, stamen; 6,

12. Senecio Greyi, Hook. fil.; fruticosus, ramis lignosis petiolis foliisque subtus dense albo-lanatis, 
foliis longe petiolatis oblongis obtusis basi rotundatis integerrimis coriaceis, paniculis terminalibus ramosis 
foliosis polycephalis, pedunculis bracteis capitulisque glanduloso-pubescentibus rarius gossypinis lanatisve, 
involucri lineari-oblongi sguamis linearibus obtusis, ligulis elongatis, acheniis obconicis sericeis, pappi setis 
scabridis. Tas. XXX VIII. 
Has. Northern Island. Cape Palliser, Colenso. 
A very handsome species, from the contrast between the snowy-white woolly under surface and dark green 
upper surface of the leaf, and the racemes of numerous golden-yellow flowers. It forms a shrub about 5 feet high. 
Branches woody, covered (as are the petioles, leaves below, and sometimes inflorescence) with appressed white wool. 
Leaves on petioles about an inch long ; the blade 3-5 inches long, linear-oblong or ovate, blunt, thick and coriaceous, 
quite entire. Panicle terminal, of very numerous yellow heads, with spreading ligule; its branches, leaves and 
peduncles covered with glandular pubescence, and sometimes with white wool, which extends on to the narrow linear- 
oblong involucral scales, which are 4—4 inch long. Ligule 3-5 inch long. Achenia rather short, obconic, silky. 
Pappus scanty, rigid, white.—I have named this beautiful plant, at Dr. Sinclair's suggestion, in honour of his Ex- 
cellency Sir G. Grey, Lieut.-Governor of New Zealand, who is no less distinguished in his official and political 
capacity than as the zealous promoter of the extension of knowledge and scientific inquiry.—PrATE XXXVIII, Fig. 1,
