188 FLORA OF TASMANIA. [Composite. 
Note. I have seen no Taa I y according with De Candolle's B. Sieberi, var. Gtinnii (Prodr, v. 
306), and suspect that the B. striata may be the plant alluded to, which however is always much larger and stouter 
than B. Sieberi, and has winged achenia. 
Gen. VII. PAQUEBINA, Cass. 
Omnia nt in Brachycome, sed receptaculo breviter paleaceo-fimbrillifero, et acheniis epapposis margine 
crassiusculis scrobiculis receptaculi insidentibus. — Herba facie Brachycome radicans et angustifolia refe- 
rent ; caule gracili ; foliis alternis, anguste linearibus, inlegerrimis ; scapo monocephalo, gracili. 
1. Paquerina graminea (Cass. Diet. 37, p. 492).— Less. Synops. 192; DC. Prodr. v. 306. Bellis 
graminea, Lab. Nov. Holl. ii. 54. t. 204. excl.fig; sinist. {Gunn, 513, 834.) 
Hab. Marshy places, not uncommon, Labillardiere, etc.— (Fl. Oct.-Jan.) (v. v.) 
The only species of the genus, and so very similar to the entire-leaved forms of Brachycome radicans and B. 
angmtifolla as to be easily mistaken for that plant, but differing in the absence of pappus, in the achenia having 
very thick, corky margins, and in the fimbrillae on the receptacle.— Rhizome slender, creeping, throwing up slender, 
erect branches. Leaves 1-5 inches long, very narrow, acute, gradually broader upwards, all radical, or alternate 
on the slender stem. Peduncle slender, erect, glabrous, pubescent below the capitulum. Involucral scales linear- 
oblong, subacute, puberulous, with broad, membranous margins. (Derivation of name unknown to me.) 
Gen. VIII. LAGENOPHORA, Word. 
(Lagenophora et Ixaurhemis, Cass.) 
Omnia ut in Brachycome, sed acheniis obovato-oblongis compressis rostratis epapposis.— Herba3 gra- 
ciles, scapigem ; foliis plerisque radicalibus. 
The species of this genus, of which about ten are known, ar 
southern temperate zone ; three are from New Zealand, one is a m 
and Tasmaniau, of which one (or possibly several allied ones) inhabits also Japan, China, and the East Indies. 
All are herbs, with slender, underground, creeping rhizomes, spreading, radical leaves, and slender, leafless, leafy, 
or bracteate scapes, terminated by a small capitulum. The structure of the capitulum and flowers almost entirely 
accords with Brachycome, but the achenia are obovate, and suddenly contracted to a glandular beak. (Name from 
Xay^vos, ajlagon, and </>€ P o>, to bear; in allusion to the form of the achenia.}
