hidicR'. It is about 18 inches tall, with a large' lax- 

 spreading- panicle, 8 inches across. The branches which, as 

 well as the stem, are viscid-piibescent, are slender. The 

 leaves are thin, glabrous, ovate acuminate, narrowed at the 

 base and decurrent on the petiole, and the margin is almost 

 completely entire, occasionally obscurely serrate, 6 inches long, 

 and 3 inches wide. The heads are \ inch across, involucre 

 glabrous. Flowers pure white. The fruits are perfectly 

 smooth, and not at all muricate,, covered with glands, exuding 

 a viscid gum and very adhesive. It seems to be nearest to 

 the var. microceijhala . 

 The plant, which is very variable in form, is distrilnited all o\^er 

 the tro])ics, and usually occurs as a village weed. I never 

 saw it looking so thoroughly wild as I did at Telom.
