one is C. palmatum, Benth., of the Sikkim Himalaya, which has 
much deeper cut leaves (cf. Hooker Icones plant., Plate 1142), 
and shorter involucral bracts. In the shape of leaves, C. rhodo- 
cephalum is more like the yellow-flowering C. reniforme (DC.)

A very distinct species approaching Senecio (Cremanthodium) 
Prattii, Hemsl., in its fulvous pappus, but it is much smaller in 
allits parts, and at once distinguished from all other Cremanthodia 
known to me by its sagittate leaves.
