- Watery: places, near Cape Town. Hon. W. H. Harvey. 
A very distinct and remarkable species of Cotula, for a know- 
ledge of which, as well as for the drawing here given, we are 
indebted to our very acute friend, the Hon. W. H. Harvey. 
leaves are extremely curious, and the florets still more so. 
oe in the circumference of the capitulum are female, upon a 
distinct, fleshy, cellular stipes, destitute of corolla, and with the 
germen and achenium winged, 2-toothed, sometimes unequally 
80, at the top. Central florets nearly sessile, perfect: the 
- achenium wingless: the corolla is rather infundibuliform, being 
enlarged upwards, and 4-toothed.
