14 lin. diam.; imvolucrum multipartitum, laciniis lanceolatis, 
integris, patentibus, inzequalibus; flores involucro excedentes ; 
calycis dentes 5, parvi, subrotundi; corolle tubus imo tenuissi- 
mus, viridis, superne infundibuliformis, 5-fidus, albus; palez

3. Calycera squarrosa, nu. sp.;—glaberrima; foliis radicalibus 
plurimis congestis, oblongis, irregulariter pinnatifido-incisis, 
summo segmentisque obtusiusculis, iterum sinuato-dentatis

in petiolum longissimum angustum alatum decurrentibus ; 
pedunculo scapiformi, monocephalo, nudo, folio breviore ; 
capitulo majusculo; involucro ad basin 5-partito, laciniis 
linearibus, patentibus, aceroso-denticulatis ; paleis spathulatis, 
acerosis, crassis, viridibus, flores excedentibus. 
Species duabus previis affinis, sed planta multo humilior : folia 
(petiolo incluso) 3 poll. long., lamina pollicaris, 7 lin. lat.; seg- 
menta 2-3 inferiora remota et squarrosa; petiolus alatus, 14-2 
poll. Jong., 1 lin. lat.; pedunculus nudus, 1 poll. long., apice 
crassior ; capitulum 1 poll. diam.* 
4. Calycera sinuata, n. sp. ;—glaberrima ; foliis radicalibus plu- 
rimis, congestis, ovato-oblongis, irregulariter sinuato-dentatis 
dentibus brevibus, apice callosis, crassis, sub-3-nerviis, in 
petiolum longum cuneatis; caulinis paucis, alternis, confor- 
mibus, et multo brevioribus; capitulo terminali; involucri 
foliolis 5, spathulato-oblongis, subintegris, crassis, patentibus.
