148 SIR HANS SLOANE'S LIST OF PLANTS. [appendix. 



root, rises a woody, solid, crooked, round, light brown 

 stalk, three feet high, having several small branches to- 

 wards the top, and now and then tufts of leaves, some 

 bigger, others smaller, but all of them divided or lacinated 

 very minutely, almost into hairs, like the leaves of Coro- 

 nopus Ruellil or Sophia Chirurgorum. The flowers are 

 several at top, standing within a calix made up of a great 

 many small, long, and narrow leaves, which are reflected 

 when the seed ripens, leaving many small black pappous 

 seeds to be carried away with the wind. 



" It grew on the stony hills to the eastward of the town 

 of Funchal.

 folio acuminatolongiore. Cat.pl. Jam., p. 124. 



" This rose much higher than the Herba terribilis nar- 

 bonensum, having a hard white wood, with a large pith, a 

 scabrous or unequal light brown or gray bark ; the branches 

 toward their ends were very thick set with leaves, with- 

 out any order. They were two inches long, and a third 

 part of an inch broad where broadest, being narrow at 

 the beginning, increasing to the middle, and ending in 

 a point, equal at the edges, with one middle rib, and several 

 transverse ones, of a yellowish green colour. Towards the 

 tops of the twigs, ex alisfol., come the flowers, being several 

 heads, round or spherical, made up of many very small blue 

 flowers, with their stamina set round very close together in 

 the same head, to which follows a very small gray pappous 

 seed, all over downy.
