CYMBONOTUS. 



1329. Leaves almost ovate, underneath white from a close 



vestiture. 



Stems generally shorter than the leaves, producing solitary 

 headlets of flowers ; receptacle very imperfectly bract - 

 bearing or bractless ; marginal flowers pistillate only ; 

 fruit glabrous, dorsally turgid and prominently few- 

 streaked. C. Lawsonianus. 



ADENOSTEIVIBIA. 



1330. Leaves from elliptical- and cuneate-lanceolar to 



rhomboid- and cordate-orbicular. 



Leaves rather large, the upper short-stalked or almost 

 sessile ; involucral bracts narrowly lanceolar-elliptical, of 

 nearly equal length ; no bracts between the flowers ; 

 corolla beset with minute hairlets outside ; anthers with- 

 out any conspicuous terminal appendage ; papjms short; 

 fruits somewhat rough, few-angular. A. viscosum. 



BXDBNS. 



1331. Leaves usually three- to five-cleft. 



Annual, often glabrous ; leaves occasionally undivided and 

 sometimes the upper alternate ; segments generally lan- 

 ceolar, serrated ; outer involucral bracts spreading, longer 

 than the inner ; long -expanding marginal flowers yellow, 

 but not rarely absent ; fruits much compressed, obovate, 

 rough along the margin from reversed asperities. 



B. tripartitus. 



GLOSSOOYNE. 



1332. Segments of leaves linear. 



Perennial, glabrous, seldom tall ; segments of leaves rather 

 short and acute, oftener lobeless than lobed, those of the 

 upper leaves much reduced ; headlets of flowers compara- 

 tively small ; stigmas very thin, elongated ; fruits narrow, 

 longitudinally streaked; pappus-spinules without any 

 curvature. G. tenuifolia. 



ECLIFTA. 



1333. Corolla of all flowers yellow, those of the marginal 



flowers with broadly flattened lamina. 



Perennial, prostrate or ascending, beset with short appressed 

 rigid hairlets ; leaves entire, from narrow-lanceolar to 

 broad-linear ; headlets of flowers small, on axillary 

 generally elongated stalks ; outer involucral bracts 

 almost lanceolar ; fruit slender, somewhat hollowed at 

 the summit. Figure 87. E. platyglossa-
