apex ; the inner narrower, linear-lanceolate, acute: all the bracts hispid on 
the back. Florets of the ray female, ligulate, acute, recurved ; style slender, 
inclined, stigma linear, bifid, rounded at the apex, minutely papillose. 
Florets of the dise tubular, from two to ten, hermaphrodite ; corolla five- 
lopod hispid at the spread- 
apex; style shorter and 
stouter than in the ligulate 
florets, the stigma strongly 
- papillose, bifid, linear, blunt 
at the apex; stamens five, 
inserted on the corolla, fila- 
ments free, shorter than the 
anthers, anthers scarcely co- 
hering, obtuse at the base 
and without any terminal 
appendage ; pappus of six to 
eight irregular awns, two or 
three of which are long and 
spreading, the others very 
short. There are always 
either three or five patent 
awns on one of the angles, 
All the awns are slightly 
confluent at the base and 
all are barbed with retrorse, 
single - celled, stiff hairs. 
Achenes sub-tetragonous, ob- 
conic, slightly compressed, 
hispid, with two of the 
angles minutely winged ; 
very persistent on the receptacle. 
Glossogyne hennedyi, Brown, nat. size. 
Hab. Godley Head, Banks Peninsula; on clay soil facing the north. 
Flowering from September to March. 
This species differs from Glossogyne in the short peduncles, the rounded 
apex of the stigma ; the obeonie achenes, and greater number of awns, as 
well as their peculiar arrangement. 
I have named it after Mr. Roger 
Hennedy, leeturer on botany at Andersonian University, Glasgow, my 
former teacher.
