This plant is sd known from Brown’s pemener one of which, with the 
tracing of a dra by Bauer, was given to me at Vienna in 1837, and of 
which I have since seen others in Brown’s sastikalbind: Although very dis- 
tinct in habit from most Vernoniee, a style soso it clearly in that tribe, 
where it is nearest allied to Decaneurum, and not indeed so far removed as I 
had at first thought from Vernonia itself, for it ose ie tion are researches 
are oe and almost tailed at the base.—
