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 disc tubular, from two to ten, hermaphrodite ; corolla five- 

 lobed hispid at the spread- 

 ing and slightly recurved 

 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, 

 and of these the centre one 

 is longer than the others. 

 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 obconic achenes, and greater number of awns, as 

 well as their peculiar arrangement. I have named it after Mr. Koger 

 Hennedy, lecturer on botany at Andersonian University, Glasgow, my 

 former teacher.
