I owe the identification of this interesting plant to Mr. C. B Clarke's 

 kindness, never guessing the anthers, as correctly represented on the 

 plate by I^liss Smith from the Arabian plant, could belong to an Inula. 

 One or two at least of the species referred to the genus Grantxa must, 

 I think, be congeners of this plant. — D- Oliver.
