The ig sl eHitny ee the labours of Cas- 
sini, Lessing, Nees, an andolle, are far from being satisfac- 
torily divided into genera. oo ‘pivenit plant, which I believe is 
quite new, might, as far as we can judge of characters from a single 
flower which I a m unwilling to destroy, have equal claims to 
rank with Seiya as with Olearia: in habit, in the large terminal 
solitary flowers, it agrees with neither.* The leaves are large 
strongly toothed, pale green above, with depressed reticnilated 
veins ; beneath, beautifully silky and glossy with soft tomentum, 
and havi ving thin prominent reticulated veins. The only specimen 
I possess sends out, as it were, a lateral elongated branch, with 
few distant and small leaves, bearing a large capitulum, with con- 
ies broad white rays. The receptacle I have not been able 
to examine. The achenia are oblong- etsy slightly hairy. 
The. a eee has the outer hairs short, the rest as long as the 
tubular portion of the coroll (both of ‘the a and of the cir- 
cumference) ; the longer hairs or sete scabrou:
