Composites.] FLORA OF TASMANIA. L89 
I am quite unable to define the varieties of this protean species, which sports from ;i little plant, I inch high, 
with radical, spreading leaves, and a solitary scape, to a branching, subcauloeent link 
inches long, arising from one root, bear alternate 1 i I 1 It il r length. The leaves and scapes are pubes- 
cent, tomentose, or almost glabrous. — Leaves oblong or obovatc-spathulate, l-:5 inches long, on long ,„■ s | mrt 
petioles, crenate, lobed or almost pinnatitid. Iwoolmcrel tealet in three series, the outer shorter, subulate, spread- 
ing. Flowers of the rays pale purplish, those of the disc yellow. Jchenia broadly obovate. contra, ted to I cylin- 
drical beak. — Sieber's No. 505, quoted by De CandoQe as his />. media, nod to which rariestj that author also refers 
the plant figured by Labillardiere. appears to me to be a dill'ercnt species, with a smaller capitulum ; it is perhaps 
Mueller's L. pac////r/ti:<>. which is also a Swan Hiver species, and pcrhap- /.. //.;/• '/'/. Benth. 
2. Lagenophora latifolia (Hook. ill. in Load. Journ. Bot vi. 
obovato-spathulatis in petiolum brevem angustatis obtuse siimato-ilent; 
glabris, achenio lanceolato in rostrum sensim attenuate — An L. Billardieri, var. ' {Gunn, III s . 
Hab. Mount Wellington, Gunn. — (Fl. Jan.) 
Very nearly allied to L. BilhmHrri, and perhaps only a variety of that species, but the leaves are broader in 
proportion, and the achenia are much narrower, lanceolate, and gradually contracted into the beak. 
3. Lagenophora montana (Hook. fil. in Lond. Journ. Hot. vi. LIS); pusilla, glaberrimu, foliis 
elliptico-lanceolatis acutis obtusisve in petiolum graoilum angustatis remote imequalitcr dentatis, seapo solt- 
tario gracili bracteolato, involucri squamis obtusis glabris, achenio obovato-lanceolato in rostrum brrve an- 
gustato. {Gunn, S32, 833, 11 IS?) (Tab. XLI\. /. 
Hab, Circular Head, Wooluortli, and Uk« marshy ground, <;»„>,.— {Y\. .Inn., 
Feb.) 
This again is very closely allied to /,. BUhirdieri, and may prove a \ariety of it ; but the numerous specimens 
belonging to three numbers in tiunn'- collection accord very closely together, and ditfer from /.. Biilardieri in being 
very glabrous, in the usually smaller size, narrow, lanceolate, acute leaves, in the more blunt involucral scales, and 
in the narrower achenium, which is less suddenly contracted into tin- beak.— Plate WAX. J. Fig. 1, capitulum;

gatis multibracteatis pubescenti-pilosis, involucri squamis subacutis, achenns late obovatis IB rostrum cur-
