 S. Africa, Drege. — Apparently a general inliahitant of the East Indies; 

 strangely confounded with our Irish T. radicans (Ili/iueiiujilii/llujii alatum, 

 Sm.) i)y Schkubr, and little understood by botanists in general. Frond 2 

 — 4 or 5 inches high, more or less dense in its ramilications or divisions, al- 

 ways very opaque, when dry of a dingy brownish or olive green, the lips of 

 the sunk involucres singularly large and tapering to a rather acute point. 



35. T. radicans, Sw. ; caudex very long more or less to- 

 meiitose, ironds ovate or oblong acnniinate erect rather fimi 

 membranaceous bi-tri-quadripinnatifid dark green and opaque 

 (when dry) primary divisions ovate or lanceolate cuneate at 

 the base, the segments linear-oblong rather short obtuse emar- 

 ginate or bifid, involucres supraaxillary cylindrical tapering 

 below siuik in the more or less narrow short segments and 

 hence more or less winged at the sides, the mouth scarcely 

 spreading imperfectly or shortly 2-lipped sometimes wider 

 than the tube, receptacles (when perfect) filiform many times 

 longer than the tube, stipes short or long tereti-compressed 

 winged nearly to the base sometimes broadly so. — Sw. Ft.
