  This 
  plant 
  is 
  at 
  variance 
  with 
  this 
  and 
  the 
  allied 
  genera 
  — 
  as 
  is 
  too 
  offtn 
  the 
  

   case 
  — 
  but 
  so 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  Chanactis 
  it 
  seems 
  a 
  pity 
  to 
  exclude 
  it, 
  yet 
  it 
  has 
  

   no 
  rays 
  ; 
  and 
  scales 
  of 
  the 
  involucre 
  only 
  about 
  half 
  the 
  required 
  number 
  ; 
  the 
  

   receptacle 
  also 
  is 
  not 
  " 
  alveolate" 
  but 
  scrobiculate.
