180 FLORA OF TASMANIA. [Composite. 
revolutis, capitulis subcorymbosis breviter pedicellatis majusculis sub-40-floris, pedicellis angulatis bracteo- 
latis foliis brevioribus, involucri squamis chartaceis apice fuscis, pappi setis inzequalibus, acheniis angulatisL 
glaberrimis glandaloso-pubemlisve. — E. glutescens, F. Muell. MSS. {Gunn, 829.) 
Hab. Sandy sea-coasts on the northern shores of the Island, Woolnorth, Gunn. — (El. Feb.) 
Disteib. South-eastern Australia, Victoria, Mueller ; and Bass' Straits, Bynoe. 
A much stouter species than E. glandulosa, with broader leaves, more viscid, but without the prominent glands, 
and with less recurved margins ; the heads also are larger, less corymbose, have shorter pedicels, and more involu- 
cral scales, which are rigid, hard, and glutinous, and with a dark, greenish-brown patch below the tip. Pappus 
white or reddish. Achenia obscurely glandular. 
19. Eurybia ericoides (Steetz in Plant. Preiss. i. 423) ; fruticosa, erecta, glaberrima, viscosa, 
^astigiatim ramosa, ramis ramulisque graeilibus sulcatis, foliis brevibus erectis v. patenti-recurvis anguste 
linearibus obtusis marginibus integerrimis ad costam reflexis, capitulis terminalibus subsessilibus sub-20- 
floris, involucri squamis chartaceis viscosis medio fuscis, pappi setis subsequalibus rigidis, acheniis puberulis. 
{Gunn, 616.) 
Hab. Great Swan Port, Dr. Story; Hobarton, Backhouse, Br. Lyall.—<$\. Oct.) (v. v.) 
A very distinct species, apparently rare. — A small, slender shrub, 2 feet high, everywhere perfectly glabrous, 
more or less viscid and shining. Stems and branches erect, terete, grooved. Leaves ^— | inch long, usually patent 
and recurved, narrow-linear, blunt, with margins recurved to the midrib, and pressed flat to the under surface. 
Heads as in E. linifolia, but quite sessile at the ends of the branches. Pappus reddish, of very rigid setse. 
20. Eurybia ciliata (Benth. Plant. Hiigel. p. 58) j fruticulus, caulibus e radice plurimis erectis 
ascendentibusve, ramis ciliatis paucis erectis teretibus superne foliosis, foliis subimbricatis basi vaginantibus 
undique patenti-recurvis longe lineari-subulatis rigidis pungenti-acuminatis basi preecipue longe ciliatis 
marginibus ad costam arete appressis, capitulis longissime pedicellate, pedicellis nudis monocephalis superne 
pubescentibus, capitulis magnis sub-50-floris, involucri squamis anguste linearibus acuminatis, pappi setis 
subsequalibus rigidis, acheniis pilosis glabratisve.— BC. Prodr. vii. 273. (Gunn, 1972.) 
Hab. South Esk River, Gunn. 
Distrib. South-western and South-eastern Australia ; from Australia Felix (Mueller), to King 
George's Sound. 
This remarkable species is one of the very few Tasmanian Composites that inhabit South-eastern Australia; it 
differs u idely from its previously described congeners in habit and characters.— Moots woody, giving off several 
ascending, sparingly-branched stems, a foot high. Branches erect, terete, ciliated. Leaves imbricating (seldom re- 
mote), with membranous, semiamplexicaul, expanded bases, f-li inch long, very rigid, linear-subulate, acuminate, 
pungent, with setose margins, reflexed to the midrib, and closely appressed to the under surface, smooth and shi- 
ning. Peduncles very long, 3-6 inches, terminal, erect, stout, naked, terete, glabrous, pubescent above. Heads 
solitary, terminal, an inch across, flat and broad. Involucral scales narrow-linear, acuminate. Pappus white or 
reddish, very rigid. 
Gen. II. CELMISIA, Cass. 
Omnia Eurybia, sed herba acaules, scapigerse, scapis monocephalis bracteatis. 
After a careful examination of all the known species of this genus, of which there are twelve, chiefly natives 
l unable to find any characters, except those of habit, to separate it from Eurybia ; instead of 
bs, with fibrous roots or short rhizomes, many spreading, radical leaves, 
:ct, stout, bracteate scapes, with one large, terminal head. Only one (or
