A much smaller species than L. longipes, with shorter peduncles, much more divided leaves, and more com- 
pressed, ovate, glandular achenia.— Imolmcral scales few, about four, rounded, glandular. Corolla of the flowers 
of the circumference very shortly urceolate, with a contracted mouth. Style shortly bind.— Plate LII. B. Fig. 1,

I have suppressed the genus Symphyomera, which I proposed for this plant in the ' London Journal of Botany,' 
finding that it is connected with the other Leptinella through the New Zealand species of the genus.-A small, 
procumbent, rather fleshy herb. Roots of fleshy fibres. Stems spreading, branched, 1-4 inches long, leafy, stout, 
glabrous or villous, rooting at the nodes. Leaves 1-2 inches long, suberect or spreading, with long petioles, ob- 
long, pmnatifid ; segments linear-oblong, toothed, each lobe often infested by a black fungus. Peduneles very short, 
stout, v dlous Capitula small. Involucral scales in about two series, oblong, blunt. Flowers of the circumference 
in many series, glandular, elliptical-obk.g, compressed, attenuated upwards into an adnate, short, conical, truncate, 
obscurely three-lobed, persistent corolla. Style exserted, unequally two-lobed. Achenium compressed, obscurely 
winged. Testa fleshy. E^ryo enclosed in a cellular albumen. Mowers of the disc tubular, four-toothed, with short 
stamens. Style discoid at the apex.-P L ATE LI. B. Fig. 1, l ea f infested with a fungus; 2, capitulum; 3, ache-
