Yery near N. heterophylla S. iMooi'e, but distinguished at once from 

 it by Ihe absence of the remarkable heterophylly characterising that 

 species. Olher différences are the lai'ger heads with a greater number of 

 involucral leaves and many more florets, the included or subincluded 

 (instead of far exserled) styles of Ihe femaie florets, the larger herma- 

 phrodite florets with a 2-armed instead of an entire Stigma, and the 

 variable number of setse to the pappus. 



The bilid stigma jnst inenlioned and Ihe increase in the number of 

 the pappus-setae necessitate slight altérations in the generic cha- 

 racter.
