222 FLORA OF TASMANIA. [Composite. 
Capitula yeUow, corymbose, calculate at the base, broadly campanulate, discoid or radiate. Achenia linear, fur- 
rowed, with glabrous or pubescent ridges. 
(Hook. fil. in Lond. Journ. Bot. vi. 123) ; radiatus, herbaceus?, ramosus, 
glaberrimus, caule striato folioso, foliis sessilibus in laciniis distantibus perplurimis filiformibus divisis, laciniis 
elongatis basi remotis angustissimis bis terve divisis lobulatisve, capitulis corymbosis late turbinatis pedicel, 
lisque subglandulosis, floribus radii paucis, involucri squamis disco brevioribus basi bracteolatis marginibus 
acheniisque puberulis. {Gunn, 705.) (Tab. LXIV. A.) 
Hab. Tasmania, Gunn. 
I have only one specimen of this very distinct-looking species, which resembles S. anethifolius, A. Cunn., very 
closely in foliage, but has a broader capitulum, with long, spreading rays ; it may be recognized at once by the 
leaves being pinnatisect, and the lobes again divided into filiform laciniffi.— Plate LXIV. A. Fig. 1, capitulum ,

3. Senecio pectinatus (DC. Prodr. vi. 372) ; herbaceus, subscapigerus, glaberrimus, caule basi 
decumbente, ramis scapisve simplicibus erectis 1-cephalis (rarius 2-3-cephalis), foliis anguste linearibus 
lanceolatis subspathulatisve integris obtuse dentatis sinuato-dentatisve marginibus recurvis, caulinis paucis 
erectis linearibus, involucro subcampanulato calyculato, capitulo magno, ligulis 12-20, acheniis glabris.

A very distinct species.— Stems short, procumbent, often tufted, leafy. Branches resembling scapes, ascending 
or erect, leafy below. Leaves 1-3 inches long, extremely variable in shape, Hnear or lanceolate or narrow oblong- 
spathulate, obscurely toothed or deeply lobed, and almost pinnatifid, breadth $-+ inch, margins recurved. Scapes 
or flower-branches with erect, linear leaves. Capitula large, soHtary, terminal, *-!* inch broad, deep yellow. In- 
volucre campanulate. Rays large, broad, spreading, and revolute.— Dr. Mueller's specimens have deeply pinnatifid 
leaves and very large capitula. 
> leptocarpus (DC. Prodr. vi. 372) ; herba glaberrima subscapigera, caule simplici apice 
corymboso oligocephalo, Mis anguste lineari-oblongo-lanceolatis spathulatis v. late linearibus obtuse 
sinuato-dentatis pinuatifidisve, caulinis paucis subsimilibus, involucro campanulato calyculato, ligulis 10-15 
elongatis, acheniis linearibus glaberrimis infra apicem contractis. {Gunn, 268.) (Tab. LXIV. B.) 
Hab. Mount Wellington, Gunn; Mount Sorrell, Macquarrie Harbour, elev. 3000 feet, Milligan.— 
(Fl. March.) 
This resembles S. pectinatus very much indeed in habit, size, and foliage (the latter in both being extremely 
variable), but has terminal corymbs of six to eight heads, with much longer rays.— Plate LXIV. B. Fig. 1, flower 
of ray ; 2, arms of its styles ; 3, flower of disc ; 4, pappus ; 5, stamen j 6, arms of style -.—all magnified. 
b. Glabrous, branched undershrubs. Flowers of the ray ligulate. 
5. Senecio spathulatus (A. Rich, in Voy. Astrol. 125) ; glaberrimus, suffraticosus, ramosus, ramis 
nitidis fohosis, foliis sessilibus obovato-oblongis obtusis subspathulatisve grosse argute dentatis basi sessi- 
libus auriculatis, capitulis terminalibus pedunculatis, involucri bracteolati squamis apice subciliatis mar- 
ginibus late membranaceis, ligulis elongatis, acheniis glaberrimis sulcatis radii elongatis.— DC. Prodr. vi.
