ORD. 1.] 26. TITRi:<CIA MIUTA. 419^ 



the true Thrhicia iuberosa. Aparg'm iuhcrom grows smooth 

 and cihated : the ciliae are sliort and forked. The leaves arc 

 shaped pretty mucli in the same way as thosi* of Thr. lirfu. 

 The flowers are large, the calyx distinclly scaly and cillattHl, 

 the pappus uniformly pinnated. The plant which has the 

 greatest resemblance to this is Aparg^'ia hast'dU Willd. parti- 

 cularly because here also the calyx has the r.amc shape, ami 

 the marginal florets have the same leaden colour on their 

 lower surface. I also think that the two sj)ecics coulil only 

 be artificially distinguished. For Ap. hastills has an ovaU: 

 pinnated pappus, and is quite smooth. Are there not transi- 

 tions from the one form to the other ? I think there are. 

 Jacquin fifty years ago attempted in vain to discover these 

 transitions, {Enumer. Plant. Vindob. p. 270.) I.achenal, 

 (Act. Helv. 1. p. 272.), indeed, has remarked transitions to 

 Leontodon Jmpulum ; but can we believe that he had our 

 plant actually in his eye ?
