164 The Flowering Plants of Western India. 



orate with auricled petiole, ligules 10 to 14, pappus white. Central 

 India, &c. (H.). *S. Dublzellii, herbaceous, more or less cottony, leaves 

 linear or lanceolate, ligales 10 to 15 narrow. */S. Laivii, very like 

 the last, but much more slender with hair-like peduncles and smaller 

 heads. Konkan and Severndrug (D.). *S. Belgaumensis, erect, 

 branched, leaves rhomboid, aurioled, cottony below, peduncles long, 

 pappus none. Belgaum. *S. Grahamii, very like the last, but with 

 double pappus of long and short hairs ; also much like A. Lawii. 

 *S. Gibsoni, very similar, but leaves narrow, more membranaceous, 

 and not white below. 



Anyone who could get specimens of all the species of this genus 

 and of Blumea that can be found in W. India, and get them identi- 

 fied, would do a good work. Blumea is a tropical and sub-tropical 

 genus, Senecio of temperate climes, and therefore usually found in 

 India only at high elevations. 



Gynura, succulent herbs with bracts below the involucre, florets 

 generally all hermaphrodite and tubular, bracts in one series equal, 

 narrow. *G. angul>sa (G. simplex, D.) tall, erect, stem angled, leaves 

 large oblong ovate, sometimes auricled, flowers many and large, 

 deep orange, involucre bracts linear acute. Daliu. Junar hills (D.). 

 Mahableshwar (CooJce) : Konkan and Belgaum (H.). 



The next tribe is Calendulacese, with only one genus Calendula. 

 C. offioinalis, the common Marygold, is found in the Punjaub and 

 Sind, doubtfully wild, more or less cultivated elsewhere. Makmal.

 And with him rises weeping." A Winter's Tale. 



(9) CYNAROIDE^E. 



29. ECHINOPS. Globe thistle. 



E. echinatus. Erect, much branched, leaves sessile pinna- 

 tifid, woolly below, lobes sinuate and prickly, florets pale lilac, 

 forming a prickly ball, segments of corolla linear, curled back. 

 Kdntechubak. 



Common in the Deccan and elsewhere. 



This has a very thistly appearance, but is still more like the 

 English sea holly (Eryngo), which, however, belongs to the Umbel - 

 liferae. 



30. TRICHOLEPIS. 



1. T. radicans. Smooth, much branched plant about a foot 

 high, stem angular, leaves from linear to ovate, sometimes 

 pinnatirtd, dotted, with distant bristly teeth, flowers small, 

 long-stalked, florets few, purple or lilac, outer bracts recurved. 



Deccan and Konkan. 



2. T. glciberrimz. Erect, quite smooth, greyish, with
