This again is a very singular species, and quite unlike any other. I have seen only one small specimen.— 
Branches slender, divaricating, densely covered with fulvous tomentum. Leaves very curious, minute, -jL inch 
broad, forming small, green, recurved scales, appressed to the branchlets, orbicular, coriaceous, convex above, the 
margin recurved all round, tomentose beneath. Capitula six to eight, sessile, aggregated at the tips of the branch- 
lets. Involucral scales scarious, hyaline, not white or radiating at the tips. Flowers about fifteen, those of the 
circumference four-toothed and female.— Plate LYI. A. Fig. 1 and 2, leaves ; 3, tip of branch and capitula ; 4,

A very handsome species, distinguished from all its Australian congeners by the densely silky achenium, the 
hairs on which are sometimes bifid.— A shrub about 4-5 feet high, with very stout, woody branches, the branchlets, 
corymb, and under surface of leaf densely covered with thick, white wool, that often flakes off. Leaves spreading,
